This CHANGED EVERYTHING for Me! - Boss Waza Tube Amp Expander

[@ColtCapperrune]

What’s your favorite guitar recording setup??

[@RickMolloy]

I usually go from my fractal into my interface.

[@thefrogriot]

My Les Paul directly into a 1964 Fender Bassman.. I can definitely see the need for all the new tech in regards to recording guitars..but I just dig the vibe of air moving and the fun of mic placement.

[@PaulEubanks]

Straight into the interface. Amp sims are so good these days there’s no need for live amps.

[@JAMPROSOUND]

@@thefrogriot That's a great rig! I miss the sound of my Strats into my old bassman (both channels cranked). Nothing else even comes close to that when full up.

[@thefrogriot]

@@JAMPROSOUND You are correct my friend. It’s absolutely glorious... My tele in open G always brings a tear to my eyes..LOL

[@GodwinProductionsLA]

Looks like Dolby is making a reservation at the studio

[@timm3376]

I miss my Boss Waza TAE. I really loved it. Had to sell. Would love to get another someday. I ran it through a Mesa Dual Recto and Mesa cab. It's great for making your own IR's. The UA OX box is really good as well. But, the TAE has way more versatility. Thanks for representing the TAE. The TAE is easy for getting a wall of sound stereo image by blending different cabs. Thanks for the video.

[@AtTheSourceStudios]

Direct all day. I only track DI first, run to an amp for zero latency and use a plugin to hear back. Then reamp once the take is as good as possible. Love it.

[@BigDancin]

I have one of these on order, but my primary intended use will be to interface between my amp and the PA at gigs. We are halfway between worlds where all your sound came from the stage and all your sound comes from the PA, either of which I can do without needing this. But for some venues that have not heard of a thing called "center fill," I need some stage sound so that the folks pressed up against the stage don't tell me they could not hear my guitar at all (since the PA mains are behind and above them!). I need to be able to crank my amp up to 6 for good sound, and still have a relatively low level of volume coming from one or more cabs on stage for center fill. I think this will be magic for that, or at least I hope it will be!

[@taterfight]

Be sure to capture an IR of your speaker box before you let it go. It can live on digitally haha Also, do you plug the output of the boss into a mic pre before going to your interface?

[@ColtCapperrune]

I will likely do that before the iso cab goes into storage! Yes, I’m running through a pair of prototype CAPI pre’s that are my favorite I’ve ever used. There will be a video coming soon on them.

[@RickMolloy]

@@ColtCapperrune that might be a good short - capturing the IR

[@keithmurray9241]

@7:00 correction if I may... the idea behind this feature is to allow you to take a tiny amp like a vintage 50/60's tube Fender Champ and take it up on stage... run it through this and have it amplify it loud enough to be used in a club setting. Alternatively DON'T use the internal WAZA 100W amp but use that vintage Champ with the Waza to get the Champ's tone out to FOH amplification. My understanding anyway. I've got one but massively under-use it mostly just for at-home power-soak to let me get my tube amps 'loud' full-throttle tones scaled down to fam-friendly dB's.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

Dang you just made me want one of these!

[@ColtCapperrune]

Do it! Appreciate you watching!

[@RedReubenBlueJay]

9:29 Colt…going to buy a WTAE this week and I’ve been watching tons of videos to get a feel for this unit. Your is the best. Can’t wait to take delivery and start working with it. Will be checking out your presets. Thanks

[@trebleboost7]

Love the setup and demonstration, and the real-world function of that WAZA Amp Expander. I have been looking at these since they came out and seems it is a fantastic workflow enhancer to the project studio. Yes, there is some investment here, but it is not out of this world. Great work!

[@mcpribs]

I record with my pedalboard (a couple drives, Cali76, and El Capistan), into HX Stomp (AC30, stereo IRs, delay and verb), into daw. Multiple takes where I can then blend or choose a mono from each take. HX Edit added “moving the mic” to the last update. Absolute game changer. Can mix and match with IR as well. Great vid, and great sounds you’re getting!

[@tylerscott1217]

First off, another great video! Your content always gets an immediate watch from me. Thanks for putting this kinda stuff out there for home recording guys like me. I totally understand that you wouldn't want to speak badly about certain brands, but I'm dying to know what you didn't like about the UA Ox. It seems to be everyone's go-to. Also, the Two Notes line seems to still be popular. I'm not asking you to bad mouth anything, but what about these products specifically didn't work for you?

[@jason_andropolis]

Man when that guitar came in full double tracked I was like "WOWWWWWWWWW" What a tone!!

[@rommelrivera1186]

Very concise and awesome review. Thank you. Glad I resisted the urge to buy an Ox Box and went with the TAE instead. Can't wait to try it out!

[@marc_leblanc]

I've been using a Kemper now for the last couple of years and the direct approach has been the way to go for me.

[@ColtCapperrune]

That was pretty high on the consideration list!

[@toaldideutsch2158]

Really cool this information! Currently I'm trying to get a boss katana in my DAW. I've already made recordings on my Windows PC via USB and can only say that the recordings actually sound like the Katanta directly from the loudspeaker, Boss did a great job there. Unfortunately on a Windows PC without the ASIO4All driver I can only use one interface at a time and unfortunately the Katana on the way back allows the signal to run through the entire signal chain. Unfortunately, the way back is not possible and without ASIO4ALL I always have to change the audio interface after the recording. Next I will test the line out on the amp for recording and finally do a pre-amp recording with mics. Since I live in a rented apartment, I have to use the lowest level on the amp for the microphone recording, whether that still sounds good is questionable. But if the line out works well, I might not need the WAZA amp expander. I can also record my amps via a Grossman ISO box, but the result has not been particularly satisfactory so far.

[@lukerandolph7482]

bro that tone coffin is pretty unreal

[@jerrymckenzie1858]

I’ve enjoyed using the Suhr reactive load IR. Simple, fast and sounds great.

[@MADIXOMAHA]

I had a WAZA and a Suhr reactive load IR when I got into this myself. Kept the Suhr, thought it sounded better with the same IR's in both units!

[@omersheer]

I think the simplest way you can go about leaving that iso-cab behind is to simply create IRs of your favorite mic positions - you can use that on things as big as the BOSS one, as little as a Two Notes Captor, or even the simplest plugin IR loader.

[@ColtCapperrune]

I will likely do that before it goes into storage!

[@omersheer]

@@ColtCapperrune that is a great Patreon members benefit/ digital product material right here 👌🏻

[@officialWWM]

Dude, you should play guitar more in your videos! I never knew you could tear it up like that! Oh and that Iconic guitar is beautiful!

[@devingrubbs]

I do a mix of amp sims and real amp into loadbox. The latter is more fun and responsive to play, but the plugins are just so convenient. In a mix they both work just fine. Either way I always get a DI just in case I wanna change things later. Being able to change IR's on a real amp is a game changer though, makes them a lot more versatile since the IR has such a big effect on the tone.

[@jacksonrepetskimusic]

Man! Why don't we see more guitar recording content? Sounds great.

[@ColtCapperrune]

Much appreciated! Honestly, it’s because my guitar content doesn’t get half the traction, my mixing/producing content gets. I would totally do more content on guitar stuff if it was getting the same amount of views.

[@riptideL]

@@ColtCapperrune how about recording and mixing the guitar, including using your hardware. would love to see your spl big on L/R guitars.

[@gisellechacon7081]

I'd love to see more on tracking guitars as well!

[@wessidetempest7318]

I have had this and the OX for a few years now. Do not even come close to utilizing them to their full potential. This video did help a lot. I lean more towards the Boss over the OX. BUT, as of right now, the OX feels better in bass rig situations. With that I am running a very old Marshall Super bass into 15" and 12" speakers. So what I am going for is clean when played lightly or volume rolled back and then hairy sludge when blasting away. The OX out of the box worked better on that. After this video though I should revisit that with the Boss.

[@JoeyFTL]

By god that PRS looks fabulous... only surpassed by your supremely tasteful playing Mr Capperrune

[@ColtCapperrune]

Much appreciated!

[@WheelieMix]

Tbh for that kind quite distorted tone that heavily rely on close-micing, I think most loadboxes that are good enough will offer a similar sound than a miced up cab. The only annoying thing that requires a bit more tweaking to emulate is when trying to innovate with cab/dual cab and room mic placement for guitars. For straight close-mic, deffo easy to replace imho. But yeah when space is limited, the current line of loadboxes are amazing.

[@dreamscuba]

Great video. That hollow body PRS looks and sounds really cool. I use a Quad Cortex. I live in a small apartment where even the 0.1w setting on my Marshall DSL1 is too loud a lot of the time (or my Boss Katana 0.5w setting)... Direct recording is the only way for me. If I plug the Marshall into the QC, I use the cab simulation from the QC. Great advice about the double tracking. Thanks

[@bigriff9946]

Looking forward to the Atmos setup ;)

[@JAMPROSOUND]

I've gone back to using some older gear lately with great results. The DI channels of a Digimax 96k and also an old M Audio Tampa rack pre w/ compressor section. Far from top shelf but tons of great vibe and quite usable.

[@EchoKraft]

I’m using the Headrush Gigboard. I like it. A lot more in my price range. Downloaded a bunch of IRS sounds great. But I get what you’re saying about mic placement. Great video by the way !

[@ColtCapperrune]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@cropcircle5693]

That's a serious price tag but honestly not as high as I was thinking it would go. There are a lot more expensive setups to get to this result for sure. Congrats on not having to install the meat freezer in your beautiful new studio! That thing looks like it was built for a younger man!

[@cropcircle5693]

Although, I just realized that you somehow got that thing that looks like it weighs 200 lbs. upstairs into the place only to tell us that no, it will not be staying.

[@ryancoltonmusic]

I'm in the same boat as you - needed to be able to record guitars direct without having to run speakers in my studio space. I picked up a UA Ox last week and it is a game changer for me. I looked at the Boss too. Reasons I didn't go with it were that the room wasn't adjustable and I like being able to mix and match mics. I totally get why you chose the Boss for your particular workflow though. I also like that the Ox limits me somewhat as far as not having to feel like I have to go down a rabbit hole with different IR's, etc. I basically want to create a preset rig for each of my 5 tube amps and then the 6th one will be more of a catch-all ambient setup. I also picked up an amp switcher by a small company called de Lisle - definitely check them out as I not only can switch between my rigs in the OX now, but I can switch through all my amps without having to re-patch anything too.

[@rhwaddell]

Referencing your comment on the microphone distance setting on the TAE @ 9:40. 10 cm = 4" unless you are using a 3" speaker you are not outside of the speaker, you are roughly 4" from the center of the dust cap. Happy recording and mixing CC.

Dolby Atmos takes up a lot of space.

[@quasard4584]

I was already sure the Waza Tube Exp is the best solution to have all the benefits of modern cab sim AND to be able to enjoy powerful tube amps without any latency or modification to the feel whatsoever. It can be an incredible piece of gear for live music too (set your amp as you like no matter the size of the stage, give an XLR to the PA guy, fine dial your volume for monitoring, et voilà) It's just too pricey for me, I'm not a professionnal and I'm looking for a 500€ budget cap like the TwoNotes captor X

[@ChrisJustice]

Sounds great Colt!

[@bossistheboss6996]

What are the black Boss things you had plugged into the jacks in the back of the TAE? (You had in several jacks including the loop jacks) I have had one of the Boss TAE since release, I run 12 amp head’s through it via a KHE switcher setup. I don’t think I would use a tube amp again without the TAE. Very interested in what those plugs are 😊 Great video as always 👍🏻

[@TonyThomas10000]

You are a really great guitar player. Looking forward to your Atmos studio rebuild!

[@bartnettle]

Your using a katana now! When you close mic in an iso box it will resonate that freq you have trouble with and a waza will sound better. Close mic'ing is great for live but in the studio you can bring the room into play ; substitutes cost more than the real thing nowadays, all the Engineering has been done for you and your tones are the same as the next guys.

I’ve been in a similar situation to you recently though probably not as cool as you. I’ve just gone down the kemper route.

[@MaxFreist]

Nice, can't wait to hear your thoughts and setup on Dolby :) My recording rig is similar, amps to loadbox, split to DAW / IRs, solid state amp to cabs. Whether I want to mic cabs, use IRs, commit or leave options, everything is possible :) And quiet if I want to.

[@jangrimmmastering]

Colt going Atmos 🎉

[@WilliamWendland]

I hope you made an IR of that box setup and refine it in an IR loader.

[@JamesHart-sb2vw]

My questions are A) does the USB go directly into the DAW --AND ALSO-- B) does it capture the characteristics of individual amplifiers doing so assuming it does. This is what I would hope for as then I could take my Marshall or Orange or Krank etc and plug them into it for different tone colorings during recording sessions. Marshall is awesome but for clean warm tones there is an Orange amp that is super cool but that is it's only great tone. Using this I could potentially use any tube amp to record directly via USB if it does these two things.

[@Schlomovision]

[@mntnwzrd66]

I think people might run their own room mic the old fashioned way, using that speaker out, and the room they have been using, if they are into the placement of the room mic. Our guitarist uses a close mic and one at about 4 feet, but he records in a mastering studio.

[@NuclearDeathWalk]

Best thing I did was get Two-Notes attenuator with IRs. All my tube amps get played through, but the output of the Two-Notes goes DI into PT.

[@ColtCapperrune]

The two notes captor X was one of the ones I tested, and it was pretty good! But there’s definitely one in the feel category, and I liked the way that it sounded a bit better as well

[@NuclearDeathWalk]

@@ColtCapperrune I figured if the Cap X is good enough for Steve Stevens to use in studio and live, it was probably good enough for me LOL. And a bit more budget friendly than the Boss.

[@NuclearDeathWalk]

@@ColtCapperrune gonna change my opinion on the Two Notes CapX , not sure what happened, but over the past few months, the sound started getting thin sounding - lots of tone suck. Checked tubes, cable, power it was the same across my vintage AC30s, and my custom built Marshalls and Matchless/Fender hybrid clone... Maybe I got a dud. So now I'm looking at the Boss.

You got to watch your transformers on your amps with that Boss. I did a lot of research and it made me nervous about getting that Boss. So I did not go for it instead got a Fryette Power Station and Suhr reactive load.

[@ColtCapperrune]

Interesting… Could you explain more why that is? Why would it be hard on the transformers?

[@braxal6983]

@@ColtCapperrune The variable reactive load on the tube expander is the main issue. I am not a professional. From what I gather from listening to mainstream amp builders and others that with the tube expander having that variable reactive load changes that reaction the speaker and amp normally have that may cause abnormal wear on your amp’s transformers. For me I have an original 1972 50-watt Marshall head I have owned since 1984-85 and no way was I going to just plug any load resistor into my amp without knowing what may happen. So, I went on the search for the safest way to attenuate my amp by watching many videos and by asking many questions. I wanted that Boss Tube Expander when it came out, but many pointed out that issue and concern. The two devices that keep coming up were the Fryette Power Station and the Suhr reactive load for the safest to use on your amps. Of course, that is my opinion, but I strongly suggest you do some research. I brought this to your attention because I was concerned.

I'm going to be in a one room studio for a while. I was inspired by the iso cab you built for your apartment, and i have a closet i can convert. My question is, having used both an iso cab, and units like this, do you think the ISO cab is equivalent in practical terms? Im still making payments on the $1400 amp, not sure I'll be adding as much again for a load box.

[@blue_mountains28]

Interesting stuff, sounds great. I use a ir loader plug in as an insert on my track, I found the GGD studio cabs gold stacks edition amazing. The soft tube speaker shaper is wild as well… I was wondering if you tried an amp sim plug-in like the neural dsp tone king for example? Would love your thoughts if the amp sim can live up to the iso cab and load box set ups?

[@ColtCapperrune]

I certainly haven’t tried every option out there, but in my experience, you really need a reactive load in order to get the feel of the guitar, correct. Lots of plug-ins sound good, but they don’t feel correct to me.

[@johnvcougar]

[@randallward6000]

[@XChristianNoirX]

BOSS should have added Bluetooth and an Android/iOS app. This device was supposed to be designed to cater to live rigs, and having to carry around a laptop to turn on and off the Fletcher-Munson curve, edit your effects, and load IR's is a TOTAL buzz kill. If not adding this, they should have included a full interface on the device itself. The FX loop is also total crap. It sounds really bad. I've never heard such a bad FX loop. Not only that, the return is NOT STEREO! They should have also added a stereo power amp option or expansion capability. Maybe spdif.. Maybe some more digital interface options. The solid state power amp makes you amp sound solid state/or digital through your cab. I still used it with a 5150 block, but my Stealth 50 can get pretty quiet and still sounds good, so I just skipped using a soak of any kind, not only because of tone (high gain amps get most of their tone from the preamp anyway), but because... Also, don't forget that if you use this thing for high gain, be sure to stand at least 10 ft away from it, because the magnetic field is quite massive and will cause feedback if your guitars pickups are any closer to it. Look it up. There are threads about it with several people experiencing the problem. Personally, I put mine on the floor, behind my cab, or I can't get anywhere near my head without super squeelies! Now if you are recording clean tones or low gain crunch, which seems to be most of what you're doing these days, the feedback might not be an issue for you. *For the next comments, take them with a grain of salt, because there may be some bias in the comparisons.* Finally, this is in a high gain application, but Keith Merrow compared his Two Notes Studio vs his friend's Waza TAE with the same IR's and the Two Notes demolished the Waza. YMMV I guess with this... Could have been user error. Also, as disclaimer, I haven't compared them myself. Oh yeah I almost forgot, but in all his tests, his Randall is cab still sounded best, the Kemper profile of that sounded second best, and every other modeler, and I believe the Two Notes solution were kind of far behind. This might just be the way he's using them though... Like he honed in one specific tone, and that's how things work out for him. He has several amps, but sticks to his original rig despite having Revv, OMEGA, etc etc.. Whatever the case... It's time BOSS updated this thing!!!

[@joeytorresmusic5831]

I built my own ISO box for same reasons, and have been looking at a direct option like this. They are just not cheap options based on budget.
