BTS for WAZA-AIR

I’m blown away by how these headphones & app have impacted my practice regimen. I love playing guitar. I love my 3 amps. I love playing along with music…unfortunately, my family does not share the same love!! I get it, it can get annoying listening to the same song over & over & over, while I try to get certain parts down or noodle around with my own ideas. It had gotten to the point where I barely practiced anymore because I didn’t want to be annoying. Those days are over! I can’t seem to put the guitar down now! I love the options & effects that this app brings. It’s given me the ability to experiment with effects that I never thought would appeal to me & I’m thankful for it. It’s opened up my imagination & allowed me to be more creative with the music that I create. So far, I haven’t had any Bluetooth connectivity issues, as some other reviewers have mentioned (using iPhone 13 ver. 16.2). I can switch from the app to Spotify without issues. Be sure the Bluetooth is connected to “Waza MIDI” for the app control & your music is connected to “Waza Audio” in your Bluetooth settings. Push the Bluetooth button in on the right headphone until you hear a beep to connect to “Waza Audio”. Yes, it can be connected to both! Is the app perfect? No, but c’mon…it’s pretty close. First, I completely understand the complaints & demand for landscape mode. Second, I do occasionally lose signal from the transmitter out of nowhere. I just unplug/plug it back in & it resumes connectivity. Third, the interface can use an update & some customizable features. Lastly, I think it would be helpful to add a metronome & if possible, a basic looper (not sure if that’s a software or hardware addition). Those are the only reasons I dropped a star. All in all…an awesome tool that’s making me a better player & I’m having fun with it! Thanks Roland!!

Needs a landscape mode for iPad Pro.

Needs more tones and effects I hope boss didn’t give up suppling the WAZA air with effects for what people has paid for the headphones this app should have a lot more

First of all, love my WAZA air headset, total game changer in my guitar practice, and it works alright for bass too. However, the app is crap. It doesn’t work right most of the time. I can go through the same sequence and get communication error most of the time, though sometimes it does work, hence the 2 stars.

I like this app alot. So many features that allow you to tweak the guitar sounds in so many ways. Not the easiest to use. I love to see more enhancements to the app. Ex: Left to right sliding bar is easier then meter style.

How difficult is that to do? Come on!

The EV-1-WL Bluetooth pedal no longer connects to app after the iOS 15.5 update. Come on Boss, this kind of developer latency is unacceptable. Yes, the app is free but the hardware is not, and it is dependent on the software.

It’s nice that the app has a built-in tuner but… no metronome? Please, the app needs one. Being able to practice with wireless headphones is priceless, but not being to do so without a metronome is counterproductive. Also, when playing, sometimes the headphones stops producing sound, even when the transmitter has the green light on. I have to unplug the transmitter and plug it in again so it works again.

Clearly whoever designed this has never used any musical equipment or any of the iOS apps for instrument interface. It’s ridiculous and nonsensical - everything from the controls themselves to how you turn effects on and off are so alien to guitar players as to be unusable.

I tried using this app on my ipad, iphone, and ipod touch. The ipad and ipod touch were never able to connect to the Waza-Air at all. My iphone did connect to it, but when I tried to use the app to edit the settings on one of the sound patches, I kept getting a message that the app was having trouble communicating with the Waza-Air. So I tried turning bluetooth off and back on against to reset the connection, but my iphone was never able to detect the Waza-Air again. Without a functioning app, the Waza-Air is no better than a $30 plug-in headphone amp, yet it costs $449. So I’ll be returning it soon.
