If seeing "modeled" and "tube" used in the same sentence is akin to sacrilege for you, you're not alone. But believe us: BOSS's first-generation Nextone amps have been consistent favorites among customers and our in-house players — especially those who don't want to drag their heirloom amps out to sooty bars every weekend. Now, BOSS's Nextone Special has even more classic tube-amp touches to offer discriminating tastes. Right on the front panel you'll find two fully independent footswitchable channels with their own dedicated 3-band EQs, British/American mid-shift switches, power tube emulation, input/output gain knobs, and customizable boosts. Not only that, but you also get three Tone Settings (presets) for recalling sophisticated user rigs on the fly. So, even if you're playing smooth SRV-style blues one night and rowdy EVH-esque rock covers the next, you've got all the tones right at your fingertips with the Nextone Special. All settings are accessible directly from the amp, so absolutely no menu diving is required. Two features that really separate the Nextone Special from other modeling amps are the reactive drive circuitry, which lets you customize each type of power tube right down to the electron level and save right into the amp, and the BOSS WAZA B12W speaker, which really delivers on that late-'50s/early-'60s "J" speaker sound in a big way. Both the tube emulation and speaker response are highly reactive in the BOSS Nextone Special to provide a touch response that's sure to make even the staunchest tube enthusiast crack a smile.
