The BOSS Nextone Special 80W 1x12 combo amplifier is engineered to inspire. This versatile and powerful amplifier provides a wealth of tones for creative guitarists, singer-songwriters and performers. At its core is Boss' cutting-edge Tube Logic technology, which authentically emulates the sound and feel of vintage tube amps. A 12" custom speaker and 80 watts of power provide full, rich sound. An intuitive control panel puts a world of tones at your fingertips, from sparkling cleans to satisfying overdrive. Connect your favorite pedals, instruments and mics for an unlimited range of sounds on stage and in the studio.

Tube Logic Technology Delivers Authentic Tube Tone

BOSS' advanced Tube Logic technology is the secret behind the Nextone Special's organic, responsive sound. It meticulously emulates the complex clipping characteristics, sag and compression of vintage tube amps. The result is a dynamic, expressive tone that guitarists crave. Adjust the power control to switch between 80 watts, 40 watts and a whisper-quiet 0.5 watts for recording. A 12AX7 tube in the power amp section adds warmth and dimension to your sound.

Shape Your Sound with Innovative Controls

The Nextone Special's intuitive control panel puts you in the driver's seat. Quickly dial in sparkling cleans, vintage grit or satisfying overdrive using the dedicated gain, tone and volume knobs. A 3-band EQ provides precise tonal shaping. Engage the Vari-Voice switch to access alternative midrange voicings for a range of classic amp flavors. An effects loop allows you to connect external pedals and rack effects. The speaker out jack lets you connect an external speaker cabinet for more volume on stage.

Built to Inspire Creativity

Everything about the Nextone Special is designed to fuel your creativity. A sleek, rugged cabinet houses the amp's advanced components. The 12" custom speaker delivers a balanced frequency response with rich bass, smooth mids and articulate highs. With 80 watts of power, the Nextone Special projects your tone loud and clear for any gig. An XLR line out, USB audio interface and headphone jack provide options for recording, practicing and more.

Premium Features for Superior Performance

The Nextone Special includes additional features for professional-level performance. A four-button footswitch provides channel selection, reverb on/off, effects loop on/off and tap tempo control. MIDI in/out ports allow for remote control of parameters. The amp's durable plywood cabinet and tough metal grille ensure years of reliable use. A 5-year warranty provides peace of mind. For guitarists seeking an amp that inspires creativity at every turn, the BOSS Nextone Special is the clear choice.
