BOSS | WAZA CRAFT
Select redesigns of classic pedals by the visionaries who crafted them.
BOSS touts Waza Craft as more than just modified versions of its core classics; it’s a “higher brand,” with carefully crafted revisions of fundamental circuitry, improved and refined by the same designers and effects engineers that first created them.
Wazzap! Now that we have your attention with a cool joke, Tristan is totally jazzed to show you one of his favorite pedals, the Boss VB-2 Vibrato Waza Craft*, a unique twist on the underrated pedalboard essential featuring momentary “Unlatch” functionality for quick, on/off flourishes. (*Color-matched socks not included.)

The BOSS Waza Craft Series now includes eight effects and one chromatic tuner, covering the spectrum of essential sound.
- The BOSS HM-2 Heavy Metal is a true legend in the history of distortion pedals. Its signature “chainsaw tone” with all knobs maxed is the defining voice of Swedish death metal, and the slightly milder sides of its personality can be heard on tracks from mainstream to shoegaze.
- The BD-2W Blues Driver goes beyond the classic drive with all-discrete analog circuitry and a new Custom mode for a fuller tone with more sustain.
- The SD-1W SUPER Overdrive features similar enhancements, adding all-discrete analog circuitry and a new Custom mode, expanding the tonal range and increasing gain.
- The DM-2W Delay is back and 100% analog, bringing its legendary bucket-brigade circuitry with it, as well as a new Custom mode for more tonal expression and varying delay times.
- BOSS’s first pedal, the CE-2W Chorus, goes wide with new stereo out wiring and additional stereo CE-1 circuitry with variable chorus depth.
- The VB-2 Vibrato adds momentary “Unlatch” functionality with real-time control for quick on/off flourishes.
- The DC-2W Dimension C Chorus pedal evolves the original four-button control set to include new electronic switching options that span well beyond the capabilities of its predecessors, the DC-2 Dimension C pedal and SDD-320 Dimension D studio rack.
- The infamous MT-2W Metal Zone cleans up its signature sound while expanding to include a new Custom mode for today’s more dynamic, high-gain players.
- And all this would be for not without the TU-3W. The classic Chromatic Tuner gets the Waza Craft treatment, offering the purest pass-through to date and your choice of true bypass or buffered operation.
By offering a second chance at perfection, BOSS arrives at a series all its own, impeccably built, incorporating, in some cases, decades of wisdom, hindsight, and technical mastery. Take another look. Browse BOSS Waza Craft for a new perspective on a lasting legacy.

CME Sessions | Baroness
We’re used to seeing live touring acts stop into CME—but, it’s not often that we get our own private concert! No matter what descriptors one might use to describe Baroness’s music, the way they use classic guitar models equipped with single-coil pickups to paint lush sonic landscapes is a reminder to musical artists of any genre that, often, the best surface upon which to paint—whether recording or in live performances—is a colorless canvas. Check out what we mean, here, in the Baroness CME Session!
