Personalised multi-point setup included

Before dispatch, your instrument will be treated to a full setup. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability.

Frets

We start with the frets on your instrument. All guitar necks move and change over time so we will make sure that your frets are nice and flat as we go up the neck. We don't want any high or low spots as this will mean your guitar will need a higher than optimum action and potentially suffer with fret buzz.

We check and properly profile the playing surface of the frets and then make sure the fret ends are finished off properly. The fret is then polished to ensure smooth string bending.

Truss Rod

Then it's on to the truss rod. This metal rod differs from guitar to guitar (some guitars such as classical guitars don't usually have a truss rod!) and basically controls the "relief" or curve of the neck. Not enough relief and your strings won't have enough clearance over the other frets when playing. Too much relief and you'll have a high action which gets worse as you go up the neck.

The heavier the strings then the more the truss rod needs to work. Proper adjustment in the workshop means that the action will be just right for the strings fitted to your guitar.

Top Nut

The top nut is super important and is one of the two open contact points of your guitar. The technician will check and cut each slot to make sure the strings both run freely but are not sitting in a slot that's too big.

The top nut also plays a big part in the action of your guitar so we'll hit that sweet spot between too low and too high.

Saddle(s)

Another really important part of your guitar!

On an acoustic, the saddle is cut to the correct height making sure the bottom is 100% flat and straight. This means the string can transfer its vibration properly into the body of your guitar.

For electric guitars, the saddles are adjusted to ensure your intonation is perfect. We will also match the saddles to the radius of your fretboard.

Bridge / Tremolo

The bridge affects the break angle and string height of your guitar and is also responsible for holding your saddles.

For a guitar with a Floyd Rose tremolo system or similar, the spring tension has to be just right to allow the tremolo to return to its "zero point" and keep everything in tune.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.... the choice is yours!

Intonation

Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play.

Tiny adjustments are made to each string where applicable to adjust its length and ensure that the intonation is set just right.

Overall Action

Once all the above has been completed, the guitar is checked for playability and fine adjustments are made. This step brings everything together and means your guitar will be set up optimally.

Machine Heads

Every machine head is operated and checked for function. We need to ensure that the machine heads operate smoothly.

Electrics

All the functions of your guitar are checked to ensure everything is working as intended.

For acoustic guitars we will check the functions of the EQ system and controls as well as check the internal cabling and jack socket.

For electric guitars, all the pickups are checked for function and tonal response. All controls and switches are operated to ensure they are functioning properly. The jack socket is checked.

Other Parts

All other parts such as strap pins, bushings, tuning buttons etc are fully checked.

Dispatch

All our instruments get the same premium treatment whether you purchase online or instore.

If you have purchased online, your guitar will be carefully packed ready for dispatch. You will receive a tracking link via email.

Happy playing :)

Description

The BOSS Plugout FX PX1 Pedal is an innovative pedal that hosts multiple historic BOSS effects all in one classic BOSS-sized compact unit! It ships with 8 pre-installed effects plus access to 8 more using the free BOSS Effect Loaded smartphone app, with even more to come - giving you access to rare gems and all-time classics all accessible from one pedal

Since 1977, BOSS has created over 140 unique pedals with over 19 million units sold worldwide. With this special, next-generation Plugout FX PX-1 model, you get access to stunning recreations of timeless effects spanning BOSS' history.

The PX-1s permanent library features eight famous BOSS pedals, including the three 'traffic light' models from the 1977 debut and iconic drive pedals like the DS-1 and SD-1. Every model has a '1', indicating that its the first of its type within the BOSS timeline. Here are these 8 models:

OD-1 Over Drive The OD-1 invented the now ubiquitous overdrive category in stompbox effects. Designed with an asymmetrical clipping circuit that reproduces the pleasing sound of a driven tube amp, this yellow classic dishes up warm, fat tones rich with even-order harmonics.
SP-1 Spectrum This unique and rare BOSS effect boosts a single frequency band determined by the Spectrum control. Its great for many tone-shaping applications, such as adding presence to solo lines, boosting the character of overdrive and distortion pedals, and creating nasal cocked wah lead tones.  
PH-1 Phaser The PH-1 produces a mild phaser sound with a full low-end response. Skillful engineering allows you to dial in a range of musical tones with a simple two-knob interface.  
SG-1 Slow Gear This well-loved BOSS original reshapes the note attack to create violin-like swell tones. The SG-1 is particularly effective when crafting ambient sounds with delays and reverbs.
CS-1 Compression Sustainer The first BOSS compressor pedal has a distinctly different circuit than the later CS-2 and CS-3 models. It features an optical design with a photocoupler, which offers a slower attack with a unique character.
TW-1 T Wah The TW-1 provides a classic wah effect thats controlled by the input signal level. Two controls adjust the sensitivity and depth of the input filter.
SD-1 SUPER OverDrive The workhorse SD-1 has been the core gain pedal for generations of players across every musical genre. Expanding on the OD-1 design with enhanced voicing and a tone control, this essential stomp is packed with highly musical overdrive colors.
DS-1 Distortion The DS-1 is the top-selling BOSS compact pedal ever. Its original, unchanged design delivers a hard-edged attack and smooth sustain, making it a players staple for nearly four decades.

There are an additional 8 effects that are also included which you can load into the PX-1's 8 user locations. After registering your pedal with a free Roland Account, download the effects into the PX-1 using the BOSS Effect Loader app.

CE-2 Chorus The CE-2 distilled the sound of the CE-1 Chorus Ensemblethe first BOSS pedal and the worlds first chorus effectinto the smaller compact pedal format. Tuned for mono operation and a lighter modulation sound than the CE-1, this signature BOSS original has defined the guitar tones on countless hits from the 1980s to the present day.
BF-2 Flanger In production for over 20 years, the original BF-2 hardware featured a unique analog design based around a single BBD chip. This versatile effect produces an array of warm modulated tones, from metallic and phase-shifted textures to soft chorus and wavering vibrato.
PN-2 Tremolo/Pan The PN-2 combines tremolo and panning effects in one design. Tremolo mode produces a tighter amplitude modulation effect than traditional circuits, while Pan mode moves the audio signal across the stereo field. Triangle and square wave shapes are available for different sound characteristics.
OC-2 Octave The original OC-2 hardware was a pioneer in octave pedals, producing touch-responsive tones with an all-analog circuit and a unique method of phase inversion. The OC-2 works great for adding mono octave sounds to any instrument, and its legendary among bassists for its ability to create synth-like sub-bass tones.
PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay The PS-2 brought continuous pitch shifting to the compact pedal format in 1987, and the effect remains popular for its retro 8-bit processing and vintage digital character. Three pitch modes include a manual option for fine-tuning the pitch over two octaves and presets for one octave up and one octave down. The PS-2 also includes three delay modes with time ranges from 30 ms to two full seconds.
VB-2 Vibrato This underground BOSS classic produces warm, characterful tones with mild pitch fluctuations and dynamic control of the modulation onset with the Rise Time function. In addition to standard toggle operation for the pedal switch, a special Unlatch mode adds the effect only when holding the switch.
DD-2 Digital Delay Released in 1983, the DD-2 hardware was the worlds first digital delay in stompbox form. Created in the early days of digital music technology, the DD-2 is still loved for its warm 12-bit tones that sit perfectly in the mix.
DF-2 SUPER Feedbacker & Distortion Compared with the DS-1 Distortion, the DF-2 offers higher gain and a smoother attack character. Its secret weapon is the feedbacker function, which lets you enjoy the sustained harmonic feedback of a cranked amp at any volume, including practice sessions with headphones. Hold the pedal switch or an external footswitch to punctuate performances with this expressive tone as you play.

Many more PX-1 effects will be added over time, and each new effect will be available with a low-cost Model Pass within the BOSS Effect Loader app.

With its compact format and familiar style knobs and jacks this looks like a regular BOSS pedal but as you'll see there is a lot more going on. The PX-1 features a wide LCD that shows the active effect algorithm, parameter controls, and menu options. The Control knobs conveniently double as push encoders for speedy menu navigation.
