BP-1W

Description

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 Boss 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.
Magical Enhancement
For generations, savvy guitarists have relied on key pieces of analog gear to
enhance their core tone. Though discontinued over 30 years ago, the CE-1 and
RE-201 remain widely used by many players for their characterful preamps as
much as their famous analog effect sounds. These ‘secret weapons’ make the
sound richer, fuller, and more satisfying to play, even when their effect
processing is bypassed. The BP-1W lets you integrate the magical tone-shaping
properties of these legends into your own rig - without having to seek out rare
and expensive vintage originals.
Versatile Analog Sound Shaping
The BP-1W is one of the most flexible boost pedals available, offering three
unique operation modes in a single compact stomp. Along with CE and RE vintage
modes, a third mode provides a pristine clean boost when you want to pump the
volume without added color. The Gain knob allows you to dial in a range of saturation
and drive tones unique to each mode, while the Level knob lets you balance the
effect or bypass sound or push downstream pedal and amp inputs for further
tonal enhancement.
Choose Your Tone Color
The CE mode reproduces the CE-1 preamp tone, known for its bright, bell-like
character and tight low-end response. Tweak the Gain knob to conjure an array
of pleasing tones, from mild to aggressive. The RE mode reproduces the unique
color and response of the RE-201 preamp circuitry. It adds fatness and warmth
even at the lowest Gain settings, with increasing saturation as the knob is
turned up. You can achieve powerful driven sounds with rich analog compression
characteristics, providing foundational vintage color to feed pedals and amps. The
NAT mode produces a punchy, natural voice with minimal coloration. The modern
analog Waza Craft circuitry provides a wide boost range, delivering top
performance for any standard clean boost application.
Two Premium Buffers
The BP-1W features high-quality buffer circuitry with two selectable types.
Slide the rear panel switch to choose between the pure signal of a standard
buffer or a vintage buffer with lower input impedance. The vintage type
produces a warmer tone and a smooth dynamic response, with maximum benefits
achieved by connecting a guitar with passive pickups directly to the BP-1W’s
input. The standard buffer is always engaged for signal conditioning when the
pedal is bypassed, regardless of the buffer switch setting.
Waza Craft - The Art of Superior Tone
Since the beginning, the engineers at Boss have been committed to achieving the
finest guitar tones using any technology necessary, from old-school analog
circuits to high-tech DSP. This enthusiastic spirit continues with the Waza
Craft series, bringing you exceptional tone and touch response through
carefully selected analog components, refined circuitry, and meticulous attention
to detail. In Japan, ‘Waza’ is the term for art and technique, and these
special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle
of Boss design and craftsmanship.
