I've recently been thinking about getting these...so I don't have to plug in and could play kicking back on the couch...even have more time for lessons...and though they're pricey...they are unbelievably well designed and thought out...I mean...head tilting for rewind and forward??? Crazy awesome! Battery life might be the only thing I'd wonder about...not play time but longevity of battery (is it replaceable?)...and the playing in a noisy environment...priceless!!! I also wish the transmitter jack was the foldable type and better thought out like the X-Vive wireless systems, which is what I was thinking about getting w/ wireless headphones I could set up to use with my HX Stomp, etc...still deciding! The later might be better if I want to silently work on patches, and also be able to use my pedals in front of my HX Stomp...but I know...that's a different use idea all together...choices ...choices! Thanks again for your awesome content Mary! You Rock! 😎🎸🤘🐦

Hey! Hope you enjoyed this demo of the Waza-Air headphones. Addressing the jack issue - it can be fixed by using a female to male 1/4" jack cable (a short one). x
Mary Spender as soon as I can find room in my budget for a pair I’m placing my order! I’ve been using Roland and Boss products since 1984 and they never cease to impress me with their innovations.
I've ordered mine, it's no brainer for me, it may not be cheap but it's going to make practicing at home alot easier especially when having young children😁🤘
These with VR and you could sit in and rehearse with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mojo album all their videos are in their studio. Just saying 👍 Great Job
So cool! I work in a library and we repurposed some old music practice rooms that were no longer being used (the music department got their own) into an immersive Virtual Reality space, It works really well with soundproof rooms. One thing we ran into was the directionality of sound was not as good as the visual dimendion. This could solve it. I wonder if HTC and Occulus are listening.
I was immediately hooked and got myself a Waza Air 2 days ago. I love the sound and simplicity of it all. Two drawbacks, though: charging through micro USB plugs is really not up to date. They break so easily if you're not careful when plugging in. Why not make it USB C instead? The other one: headphones and transmitter can't be charged together. That shouldn't have been so difficult to realize...
Other thing i think they missed in the design is the thing extending out so far. Its something meant for playing at home. It looks like itl get in the way when sitting on a chair etc. Even a straight jack sucks for that.. That's why you use an angle jack. How has it been though? Worth it?
Mary, your reviews are always so good, and sometimes it takes a product that is practically impossible to review in a video to showcase that. You have great charisma with the camera. Thanks for all the hard work to not only bring us interesting product information, but also to entertain us. You're a diamond.
I've just tried these at my local distributor. They say, the first batch they've got are all sold-out (mostly to the local artists). That's really something. Anyway, they did sound good. Perfect for practice, perfect for warm up. I might get a pair of those someday. PS. the sales person I've talked with mentioned that Boss's wireless transimitters/recievers are prone to interference (mostly by 2.4GHz spectrum occupied by both Bluetooth and Wifi, even cordless). I don't know if it would also applies to the Waza Air or not. If it is, then there would be no backup plan like pluggin in cord/lead into the headphone :P.
Best demo so far! You touched on some points that aren’t as obvious, like the value you can get out of it by using it in particular ways. I do have a lot of gear but keep coming back to those that make my practice enjoyable and fun. Like my Variax. Inferior to my other guitars in so many ways, but also superior in ways others will never match. Thanx for another great vid, cheering you and your journey from the sideline! :)
This technology has existed for a long time. Look up Bluetooth guitar adapters there are hundreds there is nothing innovative here other than the sound moving at a much higher price.
I haven’t been excited about new guitar product in ages. I want these and so does my wife. Haha. Thank you for the vids. I’m 52 and toured for 21 years professionally. The future of guitar is on good hands.
I demoed this at the Winter NAMM 2020. It made “Best In Show” so I was curious and went to the BOSS Waza Air demo and it was awesome. It is on my list to purchase soon. No wires to worry about. Built-In effects.
I have a Katana Air and I had the same problem that Mary had in that I couldn't connect the transmitter to either of my 2 Ibanez guitars. The transmitter wouldn't go in to either guitar enough to push the little trigger button in. I found a solution and that was to buy a Hosa GPP-273 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TRS Right Angle Adaptor from Amazon for $5, I'm assuming a straight connector would work but I just picked a right angle one as I thought I could swivel the transmitter so that it didn't stick out as much. I don't have a set of Waza headphones so I don't know if my trick will work but from the looks of things the transmitter for the headphone appears to be the same as the one for the Katana Air. I thought I would post this just in case anyone has had similar problems, so far I haven't had any issues with my adapter.
I have tried almost all headphone amps and amps with headphone out including amps that purport to have buffered output and cab simulation. Nothing ever sounded better than absolute crap. The sound was always intolerable, thin, reedy, nasally and just unpleasant. So I bought these with great trepidation. Headphones are always hard to on sell. To my immense relief these sound like no amplifier through an amp I've ever heard. They sound organic, rich and enjoyable. I haven't yet figured out all the options and the high gain factory presets aren't good at all. But they're so good I can't put them down. The sound experience of jamming over a backing track is mind blowing.
Suggestion for the other guitar plug sockets: Use a short "extension" chord - female plug on one end and male on the other. Leave the wireless tx in the female socket and the other end is like a regular cord. Loved the review and demo. Cheers!
I've had mine since November - they are awesome, especially for beginners. My neighbors and my family don't hate me, I can practice on the couch whilst everyone else is watching tv and I'm not stuck in a room by myself.
My wife got me these for Christmas. Think she wants some peace! But they are great. The drift issue is a bit annoying but it’s a 2 second job to reset them. For practice with a backing track they are fabulous.
I realize this video was two years ago but I'm just now watching it and it was totally enjoyable and informative. I bought this headphone two years ago an it sat until a couple weeks ago and I'm totally impressed with the sound, the effects and the backing tracks, one of the best purchases I've made ever. What fun! Thanks for the great video Mary!
"doesn't work through glass" still tries , lovely,now this has a lot of possibilities, practicing without being loud to others and having the same feeling of using a real amp instead of regular headphones, being able to try an instrument fast and easy, adjusting your pedalboard anytime
I got a pair 3 months ago...im happier....my neighbours are happier.. And i even play at lunch at work...been waiting my hole life for this innovation. Cant see my life without them now🙏🏻☠️😁 Greetings from Sweden Meshuggahland☢️☠️
Great Video! Until now I've just ignored these as I thought "I already play on headphones. I don't need these". And now I think I need these! My biggest problem with practicing on headphones is the massive difference between the feel on headphones and the feel in front of an amp. These could actually solve that isssue.
Thats cool all we need now is a headset with virtual stages, and AI bandmates who are playing the backing track, or you could download full concerts and play full albums with your favourite bands, or just jam virtually with others all around the world. Imagine meeting and forming a virtual band that never leaves a VR headset and records an album. And then tours virtually in a concert tour never before seen in real life, with 3d dragons flying through the air and electric effects comming off the guitars, all the while real music is being played, but really thers just a bunch fat sweaty old dudes on VR headsets who havent left their house in weeks living on pizza pockets.
Lindsey Stirling has done something similar. She put on a virtual concert in some creative environments. She wore motion tracking hardware and viewers at home could watch the concert and make comments to show up in the virtual world.
" jam virtually with others all around the world"... Too bad this is not possible in real-time because of the latency over the internet. There are some programs like jammr that let you" jam" with others but it is not in real-time. I have not tried them, so don't exactly how it works.
I have to say, this was a recommended video and I have never seen or heard of you but after watching this I cannot wait to browse and see what other content you have to offer. This review was thorough and done with passion about a product you, obviously, truly believe in. Thank you so much for what you do and I cannot wait to give these a whirl! Cheers and I hope to catch you live someday!
You totally sold me on this thing :). I picked one up after watching your video, and i am curious to find out as soon as it is charged up. I look forward to jam with audiotracks through this.
You can get an adapter to fit that silver sky or any tight fitting jack, I was getting mine from radio shack before they closed but micro center should have one or any electronic components store, it will make the device 2 to 3 inches longer. Should work for any guitar.
I like the concept, which seems valid, and thanks for following up on the jack issue. I couldn't find a price or a location nearby where I could physically check them out, but I assume they'll be out of my financial reach.
Great video Mary! For an adapter, I soldered a plug and straight jack onto a foot of cable, then used a velcro cable tie to attach to my strap. Basically a one foot extension. The Boss wireless instrument systems use the same transmitter. I have not looked, but I’m sure plenty of cable makers make some kind of similar extension that you could purchase if you don’t want to solder.
Yeah, I would put it on a 1m male-female extension cable and put the transmitter into a pocket. You can get the male-female all-in-one connectors but it would make a clunky mess.
Seems like a cool idea, can't believe it doesn't come with like a 4 inch 1/4" Male to 1/4" Female adapter to fit into recessed jacks. It might also be possible to design the receiver such that it can fold the jack away or do right angle, a little articulated extension could probably solve all these problems.
You did a good job of actually interesting me in a product that I had dismissed out of hand as a gimmick. Well done. Now, to wait for the price to drop...
Don't hold your breath. I've been waiting two years for "Fret Zealot" price to drop. Lucky for me it didn't. Meanwhile I decided I didn't wish to buy one.
I'm definitely interested in these, my birthday isnt too far off so planning a purchase of these for sure. Thank you for the review and the high quality video. Keep it up Mary! Hello from North West England 👍
You've absolutely and totally nailed it with this vid. Beyond excellent. We've a WAZA Air owners group on Facebook that's been going since the start. This just made the announcements. Nice job Mary!
about it not fitting some instruments, a M-F patch cord about 6-16" long would be fine.. a longer one would allow you to tuck it behind a strap or something.. not an expensive item at all and easily made.
I drive a big rig and I have a todler at home. So learning how to play guitar on the road. Along with practicing at home. Without driving everyone crazy. It is a great investment.
I bought a pair and they let me practice places and at volumes I normally can't and they have helped improve my playing. I have found the spatial placement technology does recenter itself too much if you tilt your head while you play, but definitely worth it to me.
Another cool thing is you can plug the transmitter into the end of your pedalboard also.. I would like to try these as playing at home with amps is not ideal..
Any short 1/4" Male to Female cable extension would resolve the recessed jack issue. There's several on Amazon or you can get the parts and wire it to some instrument cable to make a real short one. I think they're usually about a foot.
I ordered mine the day it released and just received it today. Playing around with it a bit I really like it. Much better (less sterile and harsh) than other options I’ve tried.
I have these, the gyro drift problem is so bad that it makes the the STATIC and STAGE modes useless. You will find on thegearpage forums that most owners have either returned their units, or are not using the "virtual" features. Buyer beware - Boss is promoting these endlessly but still have not made any indication that they will fix the issue.
Would be killer IF Boss had created a stereo transmitter with left/right cables that could plug into any modelers output jacks, 1/2 or 3/4 SO we could use our floor units. Think about it, wireless headphones from your QC, Helix FM3, Kemper along with your backing tracks changing scenes on the fly to match the music. You could also add your wireless guitar transmitter to input 1.
Enjoyed.............. Great review and it told me much about them, as I have not even unboxed my 212 Katana MKII yet........The stage is Mine. Your a pleasure just meeting you as well youtubing doing research & Practicing.Have a great 2020.
Thank you Mary for a great video, I was pretty much there on buying a pair of Waza-Air Headphones, then I watched your vid and although I could not hear nothing of what you where hearing, your face said it all and boom im off to order a pair. Plus as an extra bonus I have also subscribed to you channel. 👍🏻😎👊🏻
I'd love to have a pair of those, but I'll have to wait for a cheaper model. There's just too much stuff to buy before I'd get those. If I had a kid who was learning I'd definitely buy them, though.
I have them, super awesome tool. Only one issue relating to charging the units. But other than that, super cool practice tool. Especially if you live with other people and get inspired at 4am like i do
Mary, there are adapters to use in other guitars. Some are small extensions. I used a typical L adapter, normally used in guitar cables that are straight. This also help with active pickups, though you may get noise from those.
Looking and listening this young lady, increases my belief that there is a Creator !! No evolution can create such a Masterpieces. This aside great review ! I will probably buy one .

How was the quality with a bass guitar?

Try to get this with a male attachment or buy an adapter to convert but I know you can buy this attachment and purchase a Male to female attachment, but try to attach your factory boss attachment to your guitar with velcro out of your hands reach when smashing your cords rather its power cords or actually smashing guitar chords just like Randall William Rhoads has done from back in the day with Ozzy and didn't play much power chords. 🤪🤓 sorry I'm rather nerdalisious.
1:12 damn what a transition.
Ikr!
yeah that was great
The Truth thought the same exact thing

Was about to suggest this exact thing, even a small solid adaptor will probably give enough to make life easier! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361613820199
hey Mary. whats the Bluetooth encode delay like?
I've ordered mine, it's no brainer for me, it may not be cheap but it's going to make practicing at home alot easier especially when having young children😁🤘
Will it fit in my strat?
"Here at Boss, we know there's no substitute for the real thing....so what we've done is created a high tech simulation of the real thing"
😂😂🤣
It's good, ya need to try it!
@@peyotepete4903 Oh I'm just making a little joke, I do actually think it's a neat concept and wouldn't mind trying one.
@@TomMilleyMusic It comes with a great case of the corona virus.
@Blue just got mine today from Sweetwater
Arigato Mary-san!
Lmao hey BOSS
bro, he said the Japanese word.
These with VR and you could sit in and rehearse with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Mojo album all their videos are in their studio.
Just saying 👍 Great Job

Boss: Makes something that's actually innovative
Guitar fans: BOOOOOOOOOO
This technology has existed for a long time. Look up Bluetooth guitar adapters there are hundreds there is nothing innovative here other than the sound moving at a much higher price.

Clever of you to use them at NAMM - I imagine within a few years most will want to - and Boss will need to develop some ability to record out of them
you would think they would be able to offer this feature through the app
I have a Katana Air and I had the same problem that Mary had in that I couldn't connect the transmitter to either of my 2 Ibanez guitars. The transmitter wouldn't go in to either guitar enough to push the little trigger button in.

Just saw the price. i will show this to my wife, then she wont feel so bad when i ask for the the Positive Grid Amp .lol
She sounds kind. But I'll bet you give in to her spending requests most all of the time, so really, you are very very kind.
Just bought a £2500 E-II. Didn't even ask the wife.
The positive grid amp is well worth it, it records really well also!
I have tried almost all headphone amps and amps with headphone out including amps that purport to have buffered output and cab simulation. Nothing ever sounded better than absolute crap. The sound was always intolerable, thin, reedy, nasally and just unpleasant.
So I bought these with great trepidation. Headphones are always hard to on sell.
To my immense relief these sound like no amplifier through an amp I've ever heard. They sound organic, rich and enjoyable.
I haven't yet figured out all the options and the high gain factory presets aren't good at all. But they're so good I can't put them down.
The sound experience of jamming over a backing track is mind blowing.
idk what it is exactly, but you have the most calming, relaxing and pleasant voice on TH-cam.
Boss is really doing good work these days. They’ve got a pretty solid lineup of products for musicians all across the board.
Suggestion for the other guitar plug sockets: Use a short "extension" chord - female plug on one end and male on the other. Leave the wireless tx in the female socket and the other end is like a regular cord. Loved the review and demo. Cheers!
Have a set! Thanks for the in-depth tutorial, there are still features I haven’t explored yet. 🎼🎶🎸🧑💻 Muriel
I just found them, never knew this existed; but I’ve had them a few days and love them
I got some after this review, they're now my favorite practice tool.
I've had mine since November - they are awesome, especially for beginners. My neighbors and my family don't hate me, I can practice on the couch whilst everyone else is watching tv and I'm not stuck in a room by myself.
This is one of the most useful thing i have even seen for guitar , especially for electric guitars
My wife got me these for Christmas. Think she wants some peace! But they are great. The drift issue is a bit annoying but it’s a 2 second job to reset them. For practice with a backing track they are fabulous.
Thank you. A very top-notch real review. I don't think BOSS could make a better commercial/demo without you.
I realize this video was two years ago but I'm just now watching it and it was totally enjoyable and informative.

Hi Peter
Me 2. Just saw it Now. How's The Quality of The Head Phones,
Would this Replace a GTX Mini Micro?
Whatever filter or lighting Mary is using in the beginning of this video makes her look like an absolute professional model. Beautiful filming!
I needed this video 4 weeks ago. Just bought stuff that comes noooo way near to this little beast. So... The Waza-Air is next on my list!!!
Ordered mine from adertons a couple of weeks ago, I have two young children so amp playing isn't really an option so these are gonna be awesome 🤘
heroicrockstar How do you like them?
Hello, thanks for your joy, smile and this complet demo. I took pleasure to see you a new time.

And i even play at lunch at work...been waiting my hole life for this innovation.

The production of your videos are top notch. I've had the Waza Air for about a year and love it! You are also very cute!
Great Video! Until now I've just ignored these as I thought "I already play on headphones. I don't need these". And now I think I need these! My biggest problem with practicing on headphones is the massive difference between the feel on headphones and the feel in front of an amp. These could actually solve that isssue.
Congratulations on upgrading your production tecniques for you videos! Everything looks gorgeus. Thank you so much for doing what you are doing Mary.
Wow. I need to try these out.
Thats cool all we need now is a headset with virtual stages, and AI bandmates who are playing the backing track, or you could download full concerts and play full albums with your favourite bands, or just jam virtually with others all around the world. Imagine meeting and forming a virtual band that never leaves a VR headset and records an album. And then tours virtually in a concert tour never before seen in real life, with 3d dragons flying through the air and electric effects comming off the guitars, all the while real music is being played, but really thers just a bunch fat sweaty old dudes on VR headsets who havent left their house in weeks living on pizza pockets.
Lindsey Stirling has done something similar. She put on a virtual concert in some creative environments. She wore motion tracking hardware and viewers at home could watch the concert and make comments to show up in the virtual world.
mike jones most innovative and underrated comment on youtube!! i would love for this to become a real thing!
" jam virtually with others all around the world"... Too bad this is not possible in real-time because of the latency over the internet. There are some programs like jammr that let you" jam" with others but it is not in real-time. I have not tried them, so don't exactly how it works.
one problem though...... LATENCY!!! :(
If they functioned correctly. Wireless turned off every 5 min

It is a sponsored review, dude. Gullible?
Best review i've wa tched on the Waza air. I currently own the Waza air bass... Job Well done
I don't know how you manage to have so many cool and interesting gear videos, every single time it's worth watching!
I'm late seeing this but awesome........thanks for this!
You totally sold me on this thing :). I picked one up after watching your video, and i am curious to find out as soon as it is charged up. I look forward to jam with audiotracks through this.
Talent...... attractiveness..... and that accent........ one word.... WOW!!!
Watching a pro get giddy with amazement is worth the price of admission. 😊
I've been looking for something like this.
Thanks!
You can get an adapter to fit that silver sky or any tight fitting jack, I was getting mine from radio shack before they closed but micro center should have one or any electronic components store, it will make the device 2 to 3 inches longer. Should work for any guitar.
*salesman slaps top of the headphones* this bad boy will let you test everything at NAMM before buying
OH YES!
That's pretty amazing. And you can play as loud as you want and not disturb anybody!
You are a great spokesperson and great on camera.
I like the concept, which seems valid, and thanks for following up on the jack issue. I couldn't find a price or a location nearby where I could physically check them out, but I assume they'll be out of my financial reach.
I put my amp in the middle of the room, and my stereo behind me, then i run around the room in circles like a twit....amazing !
Great video Mary! For an adapter, I soldered a plug and straight jack onto a foot of cable, then used a velcro cable tie to attach to my strap. Basically a one foot extension. The Boss wireless instrument systems use the same transmitter. I have not looked, but I’m sure plenty of cable makers make some kind of similar extension that you could purchase if you don’t want to solder.
Boss knows us millennials cant afford our own houses to play loudly so they made these.
Yup! They know you're poor, so they made expensive headphones for you because they also know why you are poor.
Great idea for shows, but yeah, maybe put the jack on a string
Yeah, I would put it on a 1m male-female extension cable and put the transmitter into a pocket. You can get the male-female all-in-one connectors but it would make a clunky mess.
Or accept a male connector ie take rather than give it. That way you can plug in any length cable you like.
Seems like a cool idea, can't believe it doesn't come with like a 4 inch 1/4" Male to 1/4" Female adapter to fit into recessed jacks. It might also be possible to design the receiver such that it can fold the jack away or do right angle, a little articulated extension could probably solve all these problems.
You did a good job of actually interesting me in a product that I had dismissed out of hand as a gimmick. Well done. Now, to wait for the price to drop...
Don't hold your breath. I've been waiting two years for "Fret Zealot" price to drop. Lucky for me it didn't. Meanwhile I decided I didn't wish to buy one.
This video made me pull the trigger. Thanks Mary.
I'm definitely interested in these, my birthday isnt too far off so planning a purchase of these for sure. Thank you for the review and the high quality video. Keep it up Mary!
Hello from North West England 👍
How are they working out for you? Good purchase?
This is probably your best video, Mary! Quality keeps getting better! 😀
You've absolutely and totally nailed it with this vid. Beyond excellent. We've a WAZA Air owners group on Facebook that's been going since the start. This just made the announcements.
Nice job Mary!
about it not fitting some instruments, a M-F patch cord about 6-16" long would be fine.. a longer one would allow you to tuck it behind a strap or something.. not an expensive item at all and easily made.
I wonder who else stumbled across Mary from her crazy Frog Leap duo of Sultans of Swing like I did? Thanks Leo 🎸
I drive a big rig and I have a todler at home. So learning how to play guitar on the road. Along with practicing at home. Without driving everyone crazy. It is a great investment.
Top of my Christmas list after watching this!
I bought a pair and they let me practice places and at volumes I normally can't and they have helped improve my playing. I have found the spatial placement technology does recenter itself too much if you tilt your head while you play, but definitely worth it to me.
Get a mono cable coupler (very inexpensive) and a 3 ft. cable. Then you can put the transmitter in your pocket when your playing.
Another cool thing is you can plug the transmitter into the end of your pedalboard also.. I would like to try these as playing at home with amps is not ideal..
Dang Marry 250k subs you blew up quick in last year, I am happy for ya!!
Little six inch trs cable with a male to female adapter would probably work. I ordered them with my Vic firth drum headphones just to have them.
This was the best way to review this tech. Great video Mary!
Any short 1/4" Male to Female cable extension would resolve the recessed jack issue. There's several on Amazon or you can get the parts and wire it to some instrument cable to make a real short one. I think they're usually about a foot.
I ordered mine the day it released and just received it today. Playing around with it a bit I really like it. Much better (less sterile and harsh) than other options I’ve tried.
That close up at the beginning is really working for you 👏👏👏
I think that was a pretty damn good job at getting the point across to us. Good job Mary.
I have these, the gyro drift problem is so bad that it makes the the STATIC and STAGE modes useless. You will find on thegearpage forums that most owners have either returned their units, or are not using the "virtual" features. Buyer beware - Boss is promoting these endlessly but still have not made any indication that they will fix the issue.
This puts a dampener on things. I mean, for $700 AUD I can't afford them anyway. Hahaha.
it's the first incarnation of new tech, teething issues don't surprise me. I doubt a company like Boss would suffer such results without fixing it
I may wait for version 2.0, 2.5 or whatever. If I ever end up in a seniors home, these would be perfect :)
Appreciate you sharing your experience with this guitar tool. I travel for work. This may be a great way for me to practice. 😉
Would be killer IF Boss had created a stereo transmitter with left/right cables that could plug into any modelers output jacks, 1/2 or 3/4 SO we could use our floor units. Think about it, wireless headphones from your QC, Helix FM3, Kemper along with your backing tracks changing scenes on the fly to match the music. You could also add your wireless guitar transmitter to input 1.
Enjoyed.............. Great review and it told me much about them, as I have not even unboxed my 212 Katana MKII yet........The stage is Mine. Your a pleasure just meeting you as well youtubing doing research & Practicing.Have a great 2020.
Thank you Mary for a great video, I was pretty much there on buying a pair of Waza-Air Headphones, then I watched your vid and although I could not hear nothing of what you where hearing, your face said it all and boom im off to order a pair. Plus as an extra bonus I have also subscribed to you channel. 👍🏻😎👊🏻
that was a really fantastic video Mary. like others said, your editing and pacing are coming together really well on this one.
This was a pretty fantastic way of trying the product out and some good conclusions!
I'd love to have a pair of those, but I'll have to wait for a cheaper model. There's just too much stuff to buy before I'd get those. If I had a kid who was learning I'd definitely buy them, though.
On their website,unless it has changed,there is a $12 per month option for , I believe, 12 consecutive months.
Mine are coming into the mail. Cant wait. 👍👍
the fender mustang micro is an incredible piece of kit, too.
Really enjoying the content! thanks Mary and so cool to see all your hard work and your sheer drive paying off
I have them, super awesome tool. Only one issue relating to charging the units. But other than that, super cool practice tool. Especially if you live with other people and get inspired at 4am like i do
Mary, there are adapters to use in other guitars. Some are small extensions. I used a typical L adapter, normally used in guitar cables that are straight. This also help with active pickups, though you may get noise from those.
I purchased mine the day Andertons dropped a video about them. Well worth it.
Just ordered these. I hope they sound good with distortion tones
Looking and listening this young lady, increases my belief that there is a Creator !! No evolution can create such a Masterpieces. This aside great review ! I will probably buy one .
Excellent video. Just pure class on all levels. Cheers
This is a fantastic video! Thanks.
The first reaction everybody had I have seen so far using these (Fluff, Andertonsand now Mary) is just, wow! I would love to have these!
Well... I have one and like it a lot. But the wow is a little overacting ;)
Amazing!!!!
Thank You!!!!
I Love It!!!!
Very cool Mary! Love to try them! Thank you for the upload!
I can barely comprehend the experience of hearing an amp through regular headphones... this would surely blow my head off.
