The BOSS BP-1W is a Waza Craft booster and preamp pedal offering three distinct modes. It provides a natural, clean boost, along with preamp tones inspired by the classic BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and Roland RE-201 Space Echo. Features include level and gain controls, a selectable input buffer, and high-quality build.
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.
Guitarists generally praised the BP-1W for its ability to enhance and sweeten guitar tones. Reviewers highlighted the pedal's versatile modes and the quality of sound. Some noted the pedal's ability to add a special quality to the sound. However, one user noted that even in its "NAT" mode, the pedal cuts low frequencies.
