Boss Waza Tube Expander - Attenuator Test with Marshall SV20H

[@smilleur]

The TAE is my favorite piece of guitar tech to come out in the last 15 years. Absolutely incredible hunk of gear

[@dalenicholas1984]

Great simple demo, you've sold me on it. Love that it has rv/delay/comp built in. I can ditch my pedal board and just use the waza, Marshall studio classic and a Boss SD1 and get all I need. Thanks for the demo.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Thx for the feedback! Just a friendly warning.... My Waza ended up blowing up and not sure why. If you get one make sure you buy an extended warranty.

[@dalenicholas1984]

@@KelsterVonShredster Thanks for the warning re warranty, never heard of any issues with the Waza, but I know a few people have blown ox boxes. Mate of mine here in the UK has had two blow on him. All the best👍

[@RobertJSedky]

Thanks for sharing. I’m really close to buying the WAZA TA. Fantastic sounds from the SV20.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

thx man!

[@rikshredder]

Awesome video Kelster! Sounds really good.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

well....recorded with an iphone so this is as good as it will get for now....thanks for watching!

[@rderfa]

Awesome video, man!!! I just have one question. I have a couple of 15w and 20w tube heads that sound incredible live but with the full band they don't have enough power. Could I use this unit to also increase my volume?! Thanks a lot.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Thx and yes you can!

Super helpful video, thanks!!

Thank you Kelster for sharing!

[@KelsterVonShredster]

Thx for watching! My TAE ended up blowing up so I got an Ironman Tone King II and havn't looked back.

[@francescobighin]

@@KelsterVonShredster The Tone King Iron Man is amazing, but I need something with the effects loop to connect reverbs and delays to my old Plexi. Something like Fryette or Boss TAE.

[@albertarmen4839]

Yea it's a pricey little devil but sure does alot. The resonance/presence adjustments do set it apart from the other "fixed" loads. Currently have a Captor that's ok but find it does tend to color the amp tone a bit, especially on clean settings. Thanks for the atten focused vid.

[@KelsterVonShredster]

basically you get what you pay for. I heard the captor is decent but it sure isn't the Boss Waza or Ox.

[@albertarmen4839]

@@KelsterVonShredster won't disagree there. :)

[@kenaiello4851]

Sounds great do the SC combo next:)

[@KelsterVonShredster]

I sold the SC combo...thought it sounded like crap compared to the Plexi :-)

[@kenaiello4851]

@@KelsterVonShredster I have both and love the 800 also you have to turn the master past 6 it comes a live

[@KelsterVonShredster]

@@kenaiello4851 yes, that's exactly it....i got rid of it before I got the Boss Waza. Maybe I'll get another one, we shall see.

[@soundsokok]

can you attenuate without having your dry signal goin analog to digital conversion ? maybe using the send output in the boss waza ( i checked in the manual , it seems the send is before all the effects wich implies it's before AD conversion in the waza ) .

[@Juicexlx]

Seen a guy talking about his Waza TAE blowing-up. He says that he turned-up his Marshall JVM 100W into an unplugged WAZA (no electrical Voltage/Current in the WAZA coming from the wall). He says his TAE unit burned-up instantly; burnt smell and all. Sooo...An electricity outage is dangerous for the wallet: $2,000+17% tax $CAN in the dumpster and since we have an awful climate, those happen fairly often. Always, have it plugged in a sturdy/good quality power bar with an automatic OFF switch. Probably the same power bar as the amp as the Voltage/Current will shut-down at the same time for both. Basically, a tubes Amp will surge an unplugged TAE & burn the sh*t out of it.

[@iamlionelmusic]

Hi Kelster, question, does your SV20h produce these noises as in this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYmWepKnipqCd8U We just tying to figure out if it’s standard. Or actually an issue with the amp.
