BP-1W
The BOSS BP-1W Booster and Preamp is a Waza Craft pedal offering three distinct preamp tones: a clean boost, and emulations of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and Roland RE-201 Space Echo preamps. It features level and gain controls, a selectable input buffer with Standard and Vintage options, and is designed to enhance guitar tones with added character and richness. The BP-1W is a versatile addition to any pedalboard, providing a range of tonal options from subtle enhancements to more pronounced saturation.
What BOSS say about the BP-1W
The vintage BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and RE-201 Space Echo are legendary for their inspiring and influential effect sounds. But they’re also loved for their variable analog preamp circuitry, which instantly infuses any guitar tone with character, body, and richness. With the BP-1W, you can now access these two classic preamp tones in a premium Waza Craft pedal, along with a natural, clear voice that functions as a standard clean boost.
What guitarists say...
Guitarists found the BOSS BP-1W to be a great tone sweetener and a recommended addition to their pedalboards, praising its three diverse modes and the quality of the boost it provides. Reviewers particularly liked the added color and character it brought to their sound, with some suggesting it was a "magic dust" pedal. Others appreciated the inclusion of preamp emulations from iconic BOSS and Roland effects pedals, and the quality build associated with the BOSS brand. However, some users noted that the "natural" mode might have a slight cut in the low frequencies, despite its claims of minimal coloration.
