[@hollowmenrule]

From what I've seen these things are incredible. A real paradigm shift in the sound quality for guitar. What I would like to see going forward Is the ability to record the sound you are hearing from these? If they can take that virtual sound and make it recordable. That will be awesome.

[@bluesatsunset]

My wife bought me these headphones for Xmas and they are amazing. I've been using the Vox AP2AC for years for quiet (aka middle of the night with a bottle of Jim Beam ) practice and the difference is unreal. The price of these things is more than value for money and if they're good enough for Vai & Malmsteen - My missus has picked up a bargain.

[@dakotajensen181]

Lol my girl probably dreams of the day I can do that with my drums Ps jim beam jams are sometimes the best jams

[@BENEVOLENCEMETAL]

Boss actually wasn’t the 1st to do this, well as a practice amp yes but KLANG was actually the company who did this 3D placement technology in its IEM hardware and software. It’s been around for a few years now, allowing you to set up an IEM mix that feels like you aren’t really wearing IEM’s but just on stage without monitors, yet the volume of everything including vocals is adjustable and you hear everything clear and like it’s coming at you from the same points it’s positioned on stage, and if you turn.....it adjusts with you.

I had some earbuds plugged into a fx box and when I would play it using a reverb the sound would whirl around inside my head. I would sit there for hours strumming, it was hypnotizing.

[@Forest_Fifer]

If you want to sort of hear it, Andertons did a demo of it, where they put the headphones on a fake head with 2 mics. You can play along to a backing track using bluetooth, and it puts the band behind you, so you can hear yourself separated from the backing.

[@stevej.1428]

@@joaoguilhermenextlevel302 Yup. All those who think just plugging into the headphone out on their amp would sound just as good are silly. There's a reason none uses them. Plus, you have to have your amp with you wherever you went, and with this you just need your phone.

[@vlada]

Waza as I understand it from judo & sumo means 'method', 'technique', or 'skill'. So ground techniques are called newaza, nage-waza are throwing techniques, tachi-waza is standing & so on. Could be Boss is into the old Wazzap beer commercials.🍻

[@daves6710]

In the 80s we called this the Rockman. Still have mine. Works awesome for 80s tech. Not wireless of course, but good enough.

[@SSGSativa]

Hell yeah. Those were awesome! And those antennas!

[@zoeherriot]

It was good enough for Def Leppard's hysteria album. :)

[@netrioter]

we had this in the early 80's... The Rockman. Invented by Tom Scholz from Boston...plus you could use it on a real amp. Sounds better than the Waza. It gave Boston their sound. Look up Rockman. Its no joke

[@vlada]

👍. For those that don't know Scholz, he graduated MIT and worked as engineer at Polaroid BEFORE he became a rock star.

[@Sigourneyweaversboobs]

Rockmans are badass!

[@michaeltaylors2456]

IThey are better than most headphone amps , the stereo effect , fixed delay, chorus, very cool in the Mid eighties , I broke it out again in 2009 almost giggled . No matter what , you sound like Boston. Better than nothing I suppose , much cheaper than WAZA tho I gave it away

[@netrioter]

@@michaeltaylors2456 They are still in production as the Rockman Guitar Ace..$60-70 bucks on Amazon. The Guitar Ace has a better clean channel vs. the original. but you still sound like you just listened to Boston - Third Stage (the debut of the Rockman in the sound) and you wanna throw a wig on and go for it.

[@netrioter]

@@michaeltaylors2456 if you watch the "young buckethead" vids..he had an actual Rockman Amp..100 watt. They sound amazing and you can shut the Boston off. Getting rare these days..nobody wants to sell theirs

Grandpa story relating to the stereo effect in headphones: :-) The first time I heard a football match on FM radio I was walking my dog at night, and the stereo effect made the crowd sound like there were people all around me.

The kanji alone means skill since its derived from Chinese language but in Japanese it carries different meaning...

[@stephenrochester6309]

Wanmohan If you take Pokemon as an example, TM in the English language version of the games vs WM in the Japanese versions: TM = Technical Machine WM = Waza Machine Seeing as these devices teach new techniques to Pokemon it is a no brainer that the meaning in Pokemon is ‘technique’ at least. Chinese characters in Japanese often have the same meaning but not all the time so you need to be careful. A lot of time has passed and a lot of politics since the early days of usage in Japan!!

Wouldn't it be nicer to build headphones with speakers that have a frequency response close to a guitar speaker? Impulse Responses are cool but they give you the sound of a mic'd cabinet. These 3D room sounds, I usually always switch them off (Yamaha THR10). Can't imagine that power chords sound decent in a simulated room effect.

[@huambo]

These are legit. They don't sound good 'for a pair of headphones', they sound fantastic for an amp. Awesome.

[@dominickefrim3088]

How does it not have an output? Can you sync other headphones to 1 headphones so that someone else can listen in. Maybe off of the blue tooth? It'd be nice to have someone else listen in, like a drummer using an electronic drum set or a singer so that you can go over vocal lines. Maybe even sync it up to a recorder like a guitar pod.

It didn't make sense until you explained the surround sound feature.

[@karymwillemsen5564]

When I practice I need my real amp and my pedals at a decent volume. I find that I play differently true a real amp. The guitar starts to create kind of a life of his own at certain volumes. I even have the feeling that it starts playing me in stead of me playing her. I have the helix and helix native I thought it would be great for practicing. But I fret differently and also pick differently. Also a very important factor for my practicing routine is switching between sounds. IMHO you should practice on what you gig with full gear.
