Yep, Boss are releasing a Waza Craft VB-2W with a custom switch - but I have no idea what that does. There's also a load more new stuff including a Waza Craft amp, Vocoder pedal and a new Bass Compressor pedal.

BOSS

That should wreck the overinflated prices for second hand VB-2s

They also announced a smaller version of the ES-8 pedal switching thing they released last year. I thought that looked ace but was £500.

The ES-5 is smaller but also moar cheapz (£329 at Andertons):



Mooer are also releasing something similar (the L6):

Jeez. Andertons have the VB-2w up for £159.

Maybe it won't affect the second hand prices after all.

Damn boss is going hard with all this new shit. Any info on the amp? It looks loud.

Also that compressor. I don't know why, but I want a compressor.

I'd a brief look at the amp, it looks like some sort to metal machine? Solid state?

I wish these had been around a few years ago. The fact that you can't patch any effects in during the 'bypassed' state is the main thing stopping me from opening the big one. There's a 'volume pedal loop', but that gets removed from the signal path when you bypass the unit too, boooo

From Boss's 45 second video, it sounds like a ZZ Top amp. It's solid state, probably has some digital modeling witchcraft in it.

And power tubes? The plot thickens with this amp.
