BOSS / G12W-8

The highly acclaimed speaker units featured in BOSS's top-of-the-line WAZA cabinets and Katana-Artist are now available as replacement units

The WAZA Speaker was developed for the cabinet of BOSS' flagship WAZA Amp. Inspired by the tone character of the 25W speaker, an important element of the legendary rock sound produced by the early British stack amps, it has a 100W input capacity. It is compatible with almost all combo amps and speaker cabinets equipped with 12-inch units. The highly acclaimed WAZA Speaker, installed in the WAZA Amp Cabinet and KATANA-Artist, will guide guitarists to the ultimate rock sound. ■Features

■ Classic voice improved to high input resistance
The 25W input-resistant speaker installed in the British stack amps of the 1960s is, so to speak, the monument of rock guitar speakers. The unique voicing of the mid-low range is one of the important elements of the brown sound that can be heard on the masterpieces of classic rock. The overwhelmingly wide dynamic range and sharp-edged sound can be played at high volume without feeling harsh. You can get an ideal overdrive sound rich in harmonic components. The WAZA Speaker perfectly reproduces the legendary tone that many guitarists will never forget once they hear it, while raising the input capacity to 100W, presenting new possibilities to modern rock guitarists.

■ Born from the outstanding skills of engineers
Inspired by the 100W British stack amp, which is said to be the origin of high-gain amps, BOSS engineers pursued the ideal rock sound and developed the flagship model WAZA Amp Head. In addition, the speakers that reproduce that sound were also developed in-house with the same attention to detail. The WAZA Speaker was designed with inspiration from the musical voicing of that famous speaker. By thoroughly analyzing the original speaker and paying attention to all the materials that make up the unit, such as the magnet and cone material, we have created a newly designed guitar speaker unit that combines the legendary tone with the power to handle modern high-gain amps. The WAZA Speaker can be mounted on any cabinet speaker or combo amp that supports a 12-inch driver.
