Harness Your Amp’s Full Capacity — at Any Volume
There’s only so much you can do with your tube amplifier in a low-volume environment — unless you have a BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander Core. The Core leverages BOSS Tube Logic-driven attenuation and cutting-edge cabinet emulation to give you no-holds-barred access to your tube amp’s full sonic potential. Furthermore, a selectable Reactive Load control ensures natural amp-like performance with combos and full-blown stacks alike. The Core houses 32 cabinet emulations, including Celestion Digital impulse responses, along with 64 user IR slots, five selectable mic types, and a well-stocked arsenal of premium stereo effects. Moreover, you get 10 recallable Rig settings for storing your favorite patches. Mix Assist and Air Feel functions are on hand to help you dial in your overall sound, which you can then output over USB or stereo Line Out jacks for recording. Integrating your pedals and outboard gear is no problem for the Core, thanks to its flexible external effects loop, and you can use the To Speaker output to incorporate real-world cabinets into your setup. You also get a Phones output for silent practice sessions. Complete with intuitive software editing and IR loading, the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core enables players to unlock the full might of their amplifiers with zero worries about noise compliance.
Note: The BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander Core does not support Mesa/Boogie Dual or Triple Rectifier amplifiers. Please call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer if you have questions.

Robust attenuation and flawless cab emulation
Even if you love it loud, the Waza Tube Amp Expander Core ensures that your family, roommates, or neighbors don’t have to pay the price for your penchant for cranked-up tones. Rated for tube amplifiers up to 100 watts, the Core delivers efficient power attenuation driven by BOSS Tube Logic. It includes a selectable Reactive Mode knob with Combo and Stack settings to retain your amp’s natural characteristics — no speaker required. The Core houses 32 true-to-life cabinet emulations, including Celestion Digital miked impulse responses. Moreover, 64 user IR slots are available, with support for both mono and stereo WAV files up to 32-bit float/96kHz. You get five selectable mic types, plus the ability to mix up to two mic signals, allowing you to craft your ideal studio-quality tone, as well as an ear-grabbing cache of premium stereo effects, including compression, EQ, delay, and reverb. Finally, 10 recallable rig settings make storing and recalling your favorite setups easy.
Houses all the right connections
Here at Sweetwater, we quickly noted the extensive connectivity of the BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander Core. For starters, you get balanced L and R Line Out jacks, enabling you to pipe a clean line-level analog signal to your console or audio interface — in stereo. Furthermore, a USB port allows you to skip the audio interface altogether and output your processed signal directly to your computer for recording, patch editing, and IR loading. The Tube Amp Expander Core’s flexible FX Loop jacks allow you to select between both series or parallel operation and a -10dBV or +4dBu analog signal level. Beyond that, you get a Phones output for quiet practice with cranked-up sound and immersive ambience, as well as a To Speaker jack for connecting to a physical speaker cabinet.
