Waza Craft Schmaza Craft. The best sounding and most versatile Tone Bender out there hands down is the Ramble FX Twin Bender at $199. You can switch between the MK I.V and MK II and switch between three voicings (stock, mids, & fat) and it also has separate impedance and bias controls.The Waza Tone Bender is real, however. $350 US
That looks like a fantastic piece of gear, and an evolution of the original Tone Bender, however the Boss Waza version doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a recreation of the original, simple & straightforward, which is just what some folks need.Waza Craft Schmaza Craft.

I hope these live up to expectations for the Boss and Macari/Sola Sound collaboration and guitar players alike. I look forward to the demos and shootouts to come on YouTube. I think the guitar world is in a pedal Renaissance with so many companies and little guys putting out really nice pedals. I bought my Twin Bender for $125 used and I couldn't imagine spending $350 on something les versatile with equal sound. The Macari/Sola Sound Tone Bender story is very fascinating I must admit.That looks like a fantastic piece of gear, and an evolution of the original Tone Bender, however the Boss Waza version doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a recreation of the original, simple & straightforward, which is just what some folks need.
I haven’t tried it out yet but a producer friend of mine has an original early 60s Tone Bender, and I can see its allure, which goes beyond nostalgia..
I also wouldn’t quite refer to it as “Schmaza Craft” as have to say that in my personal experience every Waza Craft pedal I’ve tried was nothing short of being fantastic, great vintage tone plus an added new twist, and very low floor noise. Quality.
I know this guy, over the years I went to his shop, Macari's, many many times and one thing I can absolutely guarantee is that his heart is definitely in the right place. with a passion!I hope these live up to expectations for the Boss and Macari/Sola Sound collaboration and guitar players alike.
