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.
