Designed for electric guitar players, the BOSS NEXTONE Stage is a guitar amplifier intended to give you the feel of tubes without the weight or fussiness that come along with valve technology. Four tube-based Class AB power amp sections have been modeled for this amp. They are switchable on the front panel. 6V6, 6L6, EL84, and EL34 output tube sections have all been emulated down to the circuit path of the I/O, ensuring an authentic tube feel.

The amp itself pushes 40W of power through a custom 1x12" speaker, giving you two-channel operation. Not only can you select between clean and lead tones, you can also hit the Boost and Tone switches for extra crunch and high-end. Effects such as reverb and delay are built into the amplifier, though more effects are achievable by connecting the amp to Nextone Editor software. The ability to fine-tune tube bias, power-amp sag, equalization, and other settings are possible via the Nextone Editor.

A panoply of I/O options can be found on the rear of the amplifier, including a line out, a record/headphone out, three speaker outs, an effects loop, and a USB connection for reamping and for recording directly to computers. Two footswitch inputs are on hand to help you put footswitches under foot. One receives a TRS input for controlling channel select and boost, while the other allows you to control the onboard delay. Footswitches are available separately, while a power cable is included.

With any tube amp, you may want to push the output stage so the amp feels more responsive. Unfortunately, this means turning up the level, which is often frowned upon by sound engineers, bandmates, and neighbors. The Nextone series delivers the complex distortion characteristics of output tubes as they interact with the output transformer and speaker, providing a rich, dynamically responsive sound. With Nextone's adjustable power control, you can always experience this cranked-amp tone while matching the volume to any situation, be it home, studio, or stage.

With its built-in delay, reverb, and tremolo effects, Nextone brings versatility and convenience to gigging guitarists. Using the Nextone Editor, the delay section can be assigned to analog, tape, or SDE-3000 delay types, or to a tremolo effect. The reverb can be assigned to plate, spring, or hall types. Furthermore, each effect type offers a deep set of parameters for dialing in an appropriate tone. The amp also includes a loop for integrating your own effects, with series/parallel operation, loop position, and more selectable via the Nextone Editor.

With a quick button press, you can switch the amp into custom mode. This provides factory-tweaked variations of the standard clean and lead channels. The custom mode channels can be fine-tuned to your liking with the Nextone Editor. Set a channel's tone stack to American or British types, shape the overall tone with a channel EQ, and tweak the playing response by adjusting bias, sag, and more. The Tone switch can be assigned to two different types, and the Boost switch can be set for different characters, or can be assigned to a compressor. A system-wide EQ is available too, enabling you to define the tonal balance of the entire amp. With 99 different user setups available, you're able to customize Nextone's sound for every gig you play.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this capable of being used as a body camera for continuous recording?

A: The Osmo Pocket is not capable of being used as a body cam due to the lack of continuous recording from a short battery life.

Q: 2. Will this handle work with the Tilta Advanced Ring Grip for DJI RS 3 Pro and RS 2 Gimbals BH #TITGAARG?

A: The DJI Focus Pro Grip of the DJI Focus Pro All-In-One Combo can mount onto the NATO mounting points of the Tilta Advanced Ring Grip for DJI RS 3 Pro and RS 2 Gimbals, but the grip is designed to be connected directly to the focus motor and may not be a functional setup.

Q: 3. Can this be connected to an external power pack to extend the battery life while recording?

A: DJI does not recommend to charge the Osmo Pocket when shooting at the same time, because it will cause the battery drainage, heating and shorter battery life.

Q: 4. hand control unit can control FIZ but how does autofocus work on a zoom where focal length deviates from set focal length?

A: The DJI Focus Pro All-In-One Combo can only be used with manual lenses that have mechanical endpoints. If it is a prime lens, it will only support lenses up to 100mm. If it is a zoom lens (parfocal), like a 24-135mm focal length lens, calibration would be required at the 24mm focal length before being used.

Q: 5. Can we use the Focus pro with non hard hard-stop lens ?

A: No, DJI recommends only using lenses with hard stops like Cinema Lenses when using the DJI Focus Pro All-In-One Combo.

Q: 6. DJI Focus Pro Grip can i connect it wireless to the system so i am able to select subject tracking and focus + start recording ?

A: Yes, with supported cameras the grip would control focus and start/stop from the handle. The Handle would also power a servo motor. Lidar Pro as well. It is designed to only work with products in the DJI ecosystem. We would suggest working with the DJI Focus Pro Hand unit and Hi Bright monitor B&H # DJHBRM or DJI Transmission with High-Bright Monitor Combo BH #DJTRC for wireless control.

Q: 7. does this camera offer optical zoom?

A: The DJI Pocket 2 will only provide digital zoom.

Q: 8. Is this system compatible with the prior motors (RS motors), the prior LIDAR unit, or the Cable hub?

A: DJI has not released compatibility information on the DJI LiDAR Range Finder or the DJI RS Focus Motor (2022). We will update this question as soon as this info is released.

Q: 9. Can you change the lidar from 30 frames a second

A: At this moment we are not aware that the DJI Lidar sensor capture rate can be changed.

Q: 10. How is this for low light? I am interested in using this to film concerts in small venues that are frequently dark....

A: The Pocket 2 will not provide the best low light performance due to the 1/1.7 cmos sensor. I would recommend looking into options with a larger video sensor, to handle lowlight performance.
