BOSS Waza-Air Wireless Personal Guitar Amplification System

Product Information

Each sounds incredibly dimensional through Waza-Air’s high-fidelity headphones, and these are the most pleasing hi-gain and clean tones to my ears. These patches can be switched either with the app or via the two buttons on the right headphone ear, with the thumb-wheel letting you adjust volume.

However, the android app was easy enough to use, at least enough so to let me kill the comical reverb etc. The Boss Tone Studio and Boss Tone Central apps are free to download to your favourite Smart Device and you connect to them wirelessly via Bluetooth. With the included BOSS WL-T wireless transmitter, you can plug this small device into your guitar’s output for completely cable-free operation, enjoying up to 5 hours of continuous playing time. Paul Riario has been the tech/gear editor and online video presence for Guitar World for over 25 years. You can access numerous different amp sounds, effects pedals and download free artist patches, so all types of musician can use WAZA-AIR.

Waza-Air Bass changes that, restoring the natural dimension, resonance, and “moving air” feel that’s lost with traditional phones. With 100 watts of power and a custom 12-inch speaker, the KATANA-100 delivers a commanding range of gig-worthy tones that gracefully slice through any band scenario.

How do you accomplish the breadth of amp styles and effects that we identify with the Katana line with so few physical controls? WAZA-AIR comes fitted with a lithium-ion battery, that has approximately 5 hours of continuous playing time, so you can listen to music on the move, as well as get in your necessary hours of practice.Once fully charged, inserting the WL-T transmitter into the Waza-Air’s 1/4-inch headphones jack to pairs both units for total wireless play. There are no instructions on how to connect to Bluetooth audio so you can play along to backing tracks/play music etc. Waza-Air Bass comes with loads of great-sounding amps and effects, with full customization and ready-to-play presets available via the companion BOSS Tone Studio app.

The Boss brand has been an important part of the Japanese Roland Corporation since the mid-1970s and has caused a sensation from its inception, especially with its compact effect pedals but also multi-effect units and other helpful tools for guitarists. But if you want to feel like a bonafide rockstar, you can use the ‘Stage’ ambience setting to stream your music from the virtual backline behind you, along with your amp. Using headphones is often a necessary solution, but the sound lacks the depth of the in-room experience.A full-range voice for bass or acoustic/electric guitar is one of five unique amp types created from the Katana stage amplifier series. The WAZA-AIR are noise cancelling too, so you are fully immersed in the experience of playing your instrument, no matter the environment you are in or want to be in. Five amp varieties offer tones ranging from classic clean to high gain, as well as a full-range sound that's ideal for bass and acoustic-electric guitar. Built-in Bluetooth not only allows you to connect seamlessly with BOSS Tone Studio, but it enables you to also stream music through the headphones from your phone, tablet or computer. Innovative features like Gyro Ambience add real-time surround sound, with authentic ambience for a real studio, stage and room feel.
