Awash With Classic US and UK Valve Sounds

Most amplifiers these days possess a single power amp circuit, often referred to as the amps 'beating heart'. This circuit is what provides an amplifier with most of its tonal character - the way it reacts to your play style.

With the BOSS Nextone Artist you actually get FOUR individual power amp circuits in the one box - and it's not a modelling amp either!

Tube Logic Technology

Unlike a modelling amp, the BOSS Nextone Artists uses Tube Logic technology to offer you the kind of musical response and flexibility normally associated with a vintage Valve amplifier.

For the BOSS Nextone amplifiers, the latest evolution of Tube Logic is combined with solid state pure-discrete analog circuits to give you the choice of four classic amp sounds.

Four Power Amp Circuits

The circuits you can choose from are 6V6 (Princeton-esque), 6L6 (Twin Reverb-esque), EL84 (AC30-esque) and EL34 (JM 1959-esque), giving you a good selection of classic American and British amp sounds to choose from.

Each of these circuits not only changes the the way in which the amp reacts to the speaker, and the way the input responds, but ultimately the feeling the amp gives you when you play.

These amp characteristics remain constant, even when interacting with the EQ and gain stages, making each one a completely unique experience.

Two Channels, Two Voice Switches

In addition to being able to choose your amp characteristics, you get two channels to choose between (Clean and Lead), and two extra tone shaping switches (Boost and Tone) at your disposal.

Boost Switch

On the Clean channel, activating the Boost switch will give you a crunch sound, the kind of warm throaty sound associated with overdriven valves. Used on the Lead channel however, Boost will produce a full on distorted sound that's perfect for the hard rockers out there.

Tone Switch

When used on the Clean channel, the Tone switch adds some mid-and high-frequency range sparkle, giving you a nice and crisp tone. On the lead channel, this fattens your tone up, and is perfect for those moments when you really want your guitar solo to stand out.

Power Control Switch

As with the Katana amps before it, the BOSS Nextone Artist features a Power Control switch quietens down your output (the options are Max, Half, 0.5W and Standby). However, don't think this is only good for playing quietly!

With the switch set to Half or even 0.5W, simply crank up your Volume level to get an increasingly coloured sound and response. For example, if you set the amp to 0.5W and turn the volume up to full, you can recreate the fabled Brown Sound without blowing any electrics or bursting eardrums.

On Board Effects

Another nice addition from BOSS is the inclusion of on-board Reverb, and Delay effects, as well as an external FX loop. Each of these options are footswitchable, and can be fully customised using the editor.

Extra Outputs

As if all of that wasn't enough, BOSS have also included outputs for Headphones (for quiet practice time), USB Recording, and even for an external speaker cab. With the Line Out socket you get three different "Air Feel" options, which are Mic'd cab settings to give you a more authentic sound when recording directly into a desk or PC setup.

Be Your Own Amp Tech

With the aid of the Nextone Editor you can fully customise and spec your amp accordingly. The settings you can adjust are as follows:

  • Different Valve Power selection per channel
  • Swap around EQ Stacks to suit your needs
  • Control of Valve SAG and BIAS
  • Custom Mode allows for unique combinations of Channel and EQ
  • Alternate effects can also be added in place of the Delay, along with alternative types of Delay, Trem, Reverb and Boost

Nextone Editor is compatible with both Windows and Mac platforms.
