The BP-1W is an immensely versatile boost/preamp pedal, sporting a trio of voices pulled from legendary BOSS and Roland classics. The key to this pedal's versatile tone is a 3-position switch located front and center on the top panel, delivering three distinct flavors of boost and preamp tones straight out of BOSS' vintage legacy. From the clear and chimey preamp tone of a vintage BOSS CE-1 to the darker, vibe-filled richness of the Roland RE-201's preamp section, the BP-1W captures some of the coveted sounds in the BOSS catalog. For additional versatility, the BP-1W also boasts a NAT mode that functions as an ultra-clean boost to bolster your tone without adding any color. You also get selectable Standard/Vintage input buffer modes with drastically different tonal responses. Much more than a simple boost pedal, the BP-1W is a veritable history lesson in the art of BOSS analog architecture.
At first glance, the BOSS BP-1W's 2-knob setup looks strikingly similar to any other boost pedal. However, the feature that truly sets the BP-1W apart from the pack is its unique trio of boost/preamp voices, borrowed from some of the iconic Roland and BOSS analog circuits in music history.
The Japanese word "waza" means art and technique, an appropriate name for BOSS's premium line of redesigned guitar effects pedals. You see, the pedal collectors have seen more than enough special-edition stompboxes that are only a paint job away from the originals, which is why we're so blown away by what BOSS has done with the Waza Craft series. Even in their Standard modes, Waza Craft pedals sound like idealized versions of the originals, offering the same sonic character that made them iconic, but with less noise and more consistent tone. And when you A/B the standard and custom modes, the contrast is nothing short of astonishing.
