With their inspiring and influential effect sounds, the vintage BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and RE-201 Space Echo are two of the most legendary effects units ever made. Players soon discovered the glorious sound of their variable preamp circuitry, which imparted incredible character, body, and richness to their guitar tone. Now, the all-new BOSS BP-1W, you get access to these two iconic preamp tones in a premium Waza Craft pedal, as well as a clean, natural voicing that functions as a traditional clean boost with minimal colour.
Magical Enhancement
For decades, experienced players have trusted key pieces of analog gear to enhance their fundamental tone. To this day, the legendary BOSS CE-1 and Roland RE-201 remain staples of outstanding tone for guitarists all over the world. Although these units were discontinued over 30 years ago, they have stood the test of time not just because of their incredible analog effect sounds, but because of their characterful preamp circuitry.
Considered "secret weapons" of guitar sounds, offer a rich, full-bodied tone and a highly gratifying playing experience - even when the effect was in bypass. The BP-1W lets you harness the magical tone-shaping characteristics of these historic icons and apply them to your rig, without having to break the bank buying rare and expensive vintage originals.
Versatile Analog Sound Shaping
One of the most flexible boost pedals available, the BP-1W offers three distinct operation modes in a compact pedal form factor. Additional to the CE and RE vintage modes, a third NAT mode delivers a pristine clean boost effect for pushing up the volume or driving into the front of your amplifier with no added colour. Dial in the perfect amount of grit using the Gain knob, and discover a range of possible saturation and drive sounds unique to each mode, and then balance the volume with the level knob to balance the effect/bypass volume, or push hard into the next part of your signal chain.
Choose Your Tone Color
Two Premium Buffers
Featuring premium high-quality buffer circuitry, the BP-1W offers two unique, selectable types. With a slide switch on the rear panel, you can select between the pure tone of s a standard buffer or vintage buffer with lower input impedance. In Vintage mode the BP-1W delivers a warm sound with a smooth dynamic response, perfect for use with guitars equipped with passive pickups. The Standard buffer is constantly engaged to condition your signal when the pedal is in bypass, regardless of which mode the Buffer switch is set to.
