BOSS PX-1 Plugout FX - Convertible Effects Pedal with 16 Classic BOSS Models

The BOSS PX-1 Plugout FX is an innovative hardware platform that delivers 16 authentic BOSS compact pedal recreations in a single, reconfigurable stomp. Instantly switch between legendary models including the OD-1, DS-1, SD-1, CE-2, DD-2, and more - each powered by a dedicated DSP engine that captures the exact tone and response of the original hardware. For players who want the iconic BOSS compact pedal sound without building an entire board around individual units, the PX-1 is the definitive solution.

Guitarists comparing a convertible effects pedal for pedalboard use against a traditional multi-effects processor will appreciate the PX-1's single-effect-at-a-time philosophy: the full processing power is dedicated to one model, delivering nuance and authenticity that multi-chain DSP compromises. Players chasing vintage BOSS pedal sounds in one stompbox gain access to rare and discontinued models - like the SG-1 Slow Gear and SP-1 Spectrum - that are increasingly difficult and expensive to source on the used market. The library is expandable over time via Model Pass purchases in the BOSS Effect Loader app.

Designed for modern stage and studio demands, the PX-1 supports stereo input and output, tap tempo, and TRS MIDI input for clock sync with a DAW or live rig. External control via one or two footswitches or an expression pedal enables real-time parameter sweeps and instant effect swapping mid-performance. Bluetooth and USB-C connectivity handle effect model loading and firmware updates, while the onboard graphic LCD keeps current parameters visible at a glance. Backed by a BOSS five-year warranty and compatible with the broader Roland Cloud ecosystem, the PX-1 is built for serious players.

Key Features of the BOSS PX-1 Plugout FX

• 16 Included Classic BOSS Effects: Comes loaded with OD-1, SP-1, PH-1, SG-1, CS-1, TW-1, SD-1, DS-1, CE-2, BF-2, PN-2, OC-2, PS-2, VB-2, DD-2, and DF-2 - spanning overdrive, distortion, chorus, flanger, delay, octave, vibrato, and more.
• Authentic DSP Modeling: Each effect uses a dedicated DSP engine focused entirely on one model at a time, reproducing the original tone and response with a level of accuracy that shared-processing systems cannot match.
• Expandable Effect Library: Additional classic BOSS models are available as Model Pass purchases ($9.99 each) in the BOSS Effect Loader app, with new effects added over time - including the DM-2, OD-2, and DC-2 already available.
• Stereo I/O with External Control: Dual input and output jacks support stereo operation for compatible models, while the CTL/EXP jack enables real-time expression pedal control or two-footswitch Swap functionality for live performance.
• Tap Tempo and MIDI Clock Sync: Built-in tap tempo and TRS MIDI input allow time-based effects to lock to a live rig or DAW, keeping delays and modulation tight in any context.
• Bluetooth and USB-C Connectivity: Wirelessly load new effect models and update firmware via the free BOSS Effect Loader app for iOS and Android, or connect via USB-C for wired management.
• Flexible Power Options: Runs on the included AC adaptor or via USB bus power, reducing dependency on a dedicated power supply brick on a crowded pedalboard.
