Boss Nextone Special 1 x 12-inch 80-watt Combo Amp

Experience boutique tube tones with the Boss Nextone Special 80W combo amp featuring selectable tube voicings, Waza B12W speaker, and deep customization.

If the term “modeled” next to “tube” raises your eyebrows, you’re not alonebut the Boss Nextone Special just might change your mind. Building on the acclaimed first-generation Nextone amps, the Nextone Special is packed with boutique-inspired enhancements and tone-tweaking power. This 80-watt combo is loaded with BOSSs advanced Tube Logic tech and a vintage-voiced Waza B12W speaker to recreate the punch and feel of classic tube amps, without the maintenance.

Up front, two fully independent channels give you dedicated 3-band EQs, British/American mid-shift switches, gain controls, and customizable boosts. Three Tone Setting presets allow you to switch between complex user rigs for maximum tonal flexibilityperfect for everything from blues to hard rock.

The real star here is the Nextone Specials reactive drive circuitry. It goes beyond typical modeling with four dedicated chips to emulate 6V6, 6L6, EL84, and EL34 power tubes, each with customizable sag, compression, and bias. This lets you tailor the amps feel and response to suit your playing.

And for the gigging or recording musician, the Nextone Special offers full USB connectivity with wet/dry DAW integration, re-amping options, and selectable cab emulations. Plus, onboard effects like tap-tempo delay and lush reverb round out the feature set for a fully stage- and studio-ready experience.
