We love tube amps. But these tend to be heavy and high maintenance; and most tube amps only give you one flavor of clean and crunch tones. The BOSS Nextone Artist is an attractive option for the player who wants authentic tube tone without having to lug around a 60 lb. tube combo. Four switchable power tube types and a wide gain range equip players for decades of transatlantic tube tones, from Van Morrison to Van Halen and beyond.
Two channels with onboard FX
From chimey cleans and chunky rhythms to tube-fueled crunch tones and leads, the Nextone Artist promises a wealth of tubelike textures at your fingertips. Independent level controls for each channel, in addition to a master volume knob, ensure that your choruses and solos get the gravitas they deserve. Also right onboard are tap tempo delay and lush reverb with dedicated controls. Users can further explore FX types, including tremolo, within the free Nextone Editor software.
Wet + dry recording into your DAW
Nothing kills the mood like recording a great take and finding out the tone doesn't work for the song. Fortunately, with the Nextone Artist, re-amping is just a click away. Record both your amp tone and your direct tone into your DAW simultaneously. If the tone doesn't work, or if you want to experiment, send that same performance back out to your amp, change the voicing, then re-record. Three Air Feel miked cab settings let players further dial in their dream tone.
Custom-voiced 12" speaker
Speaker type means as much to tone and performance as amp selection. The BOSS Nextone Artist comes equipped with a custom-voiced 12" speaker to reproduce every ounce of subtlety and nuance the tube and tone stack sections provide.
