The BOSS Waza Tube Amp Expander is a comprehensive tube amp command center designed to function as a variable reactive load box, active analog power stage, miked cab emulator, IR loader, and recording interface, letting you change the volume of your tube amplifier without affecting its tone, dynamic response, or distortion character.

It features Resonance-Z and Presence-Z panel controls, which optimize the impedance interaction with your amp's output transformer. Selecting from sixteen different settings, you can make your amp behave and respond as if it were connected to a speaker cab. The expander supports any tube guitar amp up to 150W.

Ten different rig setups can be stored in the unit, and each includes your custom effects and EQ settings, cab/IR selections, effects loop on/off, MIDI program change (for controlling external MIDI effects), and amplifier control status. Rigs can be recalled with a panel knob, and additional controls are provided for reverb and other functions. Onboard 32-bit / 96 kHz DSP ensures top-of-the-line effects processing without leaving the unit.

The Waza Tube Amp Expander features two parallel speaker outputs, three balanced XLR outputs (left, right, and mono), and a 1/4" headphone output. A USB Type-B port is provided for direct recording to a Mac/Windows computer and convenient communication with the editor software. In addition to the MIDI 5-pin I/O, three 1/4" jacks are presented, allowing you to hook up multiple controllers.

Q: 1. Can this be used to extend a full-frame lens like a typical tele-extender? (i.e. a FF 12mm would become a FF 19mm)

A: No, the Tokina Canon EF to PL Mount 1.6X Expander is designed for use with super 35mm lenses only. If a full frame lens is used, there will be heavy vignetting.

Q: 2. Will this expander work with the Angeneiux Optimo DP 30-80mm T2.8?

A: The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander for PL Lens to PL-Mount Camera is not compatible with the Angenieux Optimo DP Rouge 30-80mm Zoom Lens with PL Mount.

Q: 3. Would this work with my PL Nanomorphs?

A: Unfortunately, no the Venus Optics Laowa 1.4x Full-Frame Expander (PL to PL) does not support, the Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph S35 Prime lens models. .

Q: 4. Any idea how this would work with a GFX 100s?

Q: 5. Can we use super 16 lenses on apsc sensor too with this adapter?

A: Super 16 lenses will have heavy vignetting if used on a s35 sensor.

Q: 6. can this adapter be used with Sigma art lenses or Otus lenses with Nikon F mount?

A: Yes, Metabones 1.26x Expander for Nikon F-Mount, G-Type Lens to FUJIFILM G-Mount GFX Camera was designed to work with any lens with Nikon F-mount. There is no electronic communication between camera and lens. With Sigma Art lenses the adapter has a mechanical dial to select the lens aperture manually. Zeiss Otus lenses have their own aperture ring.

Q: 7. Will I be able to use this with Canons tilt and shift lenses. 17mm and 24mm?

A: According to Metabones, Canon TS/E lenses will function with no issues on this adapter.

Q: 8. Will this work with the Red Komodo?

A: The DZOFilm Marlin 1.6x Expander for PL Lens to RF-Mount Camera doesn't really serve a purpose on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF) since the camera is a Super 35mm sensor and the DZOFilm Marlin is designed for the use of Super35mm lenses on full frame sensors. If you want PL to RF mount adapter with a full frame look on the RED DIGITAL CINEMA KOMODO 6K Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF), consider the Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Canon RF-Mount T Cine Speed Booster ULTRA 0.71x (EOS-R).
