The Boss Waza Amp Head 75 is a rugged 75-watt amp head born of the same innovative spirit used in pursuit of the ideal rock sound from the beginning of the rock era. Waza amps and companion cabinets are rooted in the long history of guitar amp development, and offer the original sound of the very first rock stack amp. In addition, consistent with the evolution of the ideal rock guitar sound, Boss engineers have discovered their own interpretation called the "Waza Brown Sound." While the Waza amp was born from the soul of historic innovation, it offers expressiveness ranging from vintage to Waza Brown, plus modern expandability and reliability.

Inherited Historical Spirit Breeds the Ideal Rock Sound

The Waza is Boss expertise and passion, combined with the inherited spirit of historical master amp builders. Together, the two join to create the ideal rock sound. The very first stack amp is still the benchmark for rock amps, even now. Throughout history, master builders have worked to fine-tune this classic amp design to discover even more refined tones, and the famous '70s and '80s hard rock sound, often called the "brown sound," was born in this pursuit. This highly sought-after sound offers many characteristics in perfect balance, including dynamics that respond to the player's picking nuance, growling low end, powerful midrange, bite, smooth high-end presence, airiness, touch sensitivity, and more.

From the factory, the Waza Amp Head 75 includes two different amp read more characters selectable from the front panel, allowing you to completely re-voice the amp at will. The Internal setting delivers the authentic sound of the very first stack amp. Engaging the Amplifier A setting instantly switches to Boss's painstaking interpretation of the coveted brown sound. There's an Amplifier B setting as well, which provides a third character that's available by adding an optional Waza Tone Capsule. For each amp character, you have access to four channels--Clean, Crunch, Lead 1, and Lead 2--providing a wide range of serious rock tones, from vintage to modern and beyond.

Power Control and Other Modern Features

No tube amp player can resist cranking up the volume to get a true feeling of how an amp performs at its peak. When the output section is really working, you get a richer overtone texture and a more dynamically responsive feel. Thanks to the Waza Amp Head 75's built-in power control capability, you can enjoy this inspiring sound and feel at any volume, even bedroom levels.
