WAZA CRAFT : The Art of Superior Tone

Since the beginning, the engineers at BOSS have been committed to achieving the finest guitar tones
using any technology necessary, from old-school analog circuits to high-tech DSP. Continuing this
enthusiastic spirit, we are pleased to introduce the new Waza Craft series. In Japan, “Waza” is the term for
art and technique, and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the
pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship. Being made in Japan, the
Waza Craft series brings you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully-selected analog
components, refined circuitry, and meticulous attention to detail.
