BOSS WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core Reactive Load Box and Cabinet Modeler W-TAE CORE
Advanced Creative Tools for Studio-Grade Tube Amp TonesRecord your tube amp sound directly and professionally with the WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core from BOSS, a DI box that retains your tube amp’s natural feel and response while injecting advanced cab emulation and studio processing. With 22 BOSS cabs, five mic types, and 10 Celestion IRs, you can easily craft high-impact DI tones.
Along with the 10 preset IRS, you can load up to 64 of your own IR WAVs, with up to 32-bit / 192 kHz resolution, for endless creative inspiration. Built-in functions like Mix Assist and Air Feel let you optimize your recorded sound to a professional level and inject a true, 3D amp-in-the-room feeling to your tones respectively. The unit also features a plethora of digital stereo FX, such as compression, delay, and reverb, as well as parametric and graphic EQ control. Use up to two third-party IRs at once and smooth them out with the onboard time alignment tools. Your whole rig setup can be saved to 10 recallable slots. Rich connection options mean you always have a solution to any application: an external FX loop with selectable parallel or series operation; USB-C audio recording; balanced stereo XLR outputs for pro audio gear, a 4- to 16-ohm 1/4″ speaker output, MIDI input, and headphone output. The WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core includes a power adapter and power cable.
Supreme Tube Tones at Any VolumeA tube-based guitar amp sounds and feels its best when the volume is cranked and its power section is really working. Unfortunately, the levels produced are usually unmanageable for anyone without an isolation booth or very forgiving neighbors.
The WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core solves this issue, capturing your amp’s speaker output with a reactive load and selectable options that accurately emulate combo and stack-style speaker behaviors. The sound goes directly to the internal 30W reactive drive power amp, ready to connect to an external cab for low-volume practice. The same signal is also sent through the unit’s speaker cab emulations and effects processing, giving you a polished feed for direct recording applications.
Premium Speaker SoundsThe companion editor software provides a studio playground for shaping the raw amp sound within the WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core:
- Choose from 22 BOSS cabinet emulations and five classic mic types (two available simultaneously)
- Dial in the ideal blend with position, distance, and level controls
- Use up to two speaker cab IRs at once, either from the included Celestion Digital IRs or selections from your personal IR library
- With the time alignment function, you can precisely line up IR combinations for the smoothest tone
Professional Recording ToolsDeveloped with top guitarists and studio engineers, the Mix Assist function lets you apply one of three sound contour curves with variable transient control. This makes it easy to record parts that blend perfectly within mixes, drastically improving your production quality.
There’s also an immersive Air Feel feature that uses BOSS spatial technology to recreate the inspiring amp-in-room tone that guitarists love. The two Air Feel studio variations deliver realistic richness, depth, and dimension, providing more natural results than room mics, typically used to add space to guitar recordings.
Versatile ConnectionsThe WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core enables you to use your custom rigs in many ways at once:
- Record directly to DAWs and music production software over USB-C
- Patch into a mixer or audio interface with balanced stereo XLR output jacks
- Ground-lift switch on XLR outputs for eliminating hum caused by grounding loops
- Speaker output for daily practice with external cabs (4, 8, or 16 ohms)
- Front-panel headphone output with dedicated volume control and Air Feel
- 5-pin DIN MIDI input for syncing with MIDI-capable external gear
Effects and RigsEffect processing plays a vital role in crafting great studio guitar tones. The WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core features an FX loop with selectable series or parallel operation for inserting your preferred mod and ambience effects, positioned after the amp’s distortion for the clearest sound.
There’s also an array of high-quality internal processing, allowing you to apply compression, EQ, delay, and reverb within the unit. You can organize custom setups within the editor—including cab choices and effects—and assign 10 favorites for instant access with the Rig knob on the front panel.
Expansion OptionsUsing the WAZA Tube Amp Expander Core Editor, you can load 64 of your favorite third-party speaker WAV IRs in addition to the 10 included Celestion Digital IRs. Mono or stereo files are compatible with support for 500 ms length and 32-bit floating point / 96 kHz resolution for the finest audio quality. The optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adapter adds wireless capabilities, allowing you to jam with music streamed from a smartphone and use the mobile version of the editor to tweak rigs and load IRs.
