Boss BP-1W Booster/Preamp Waza Craft Guitar Effects Pedal

The secret weapon behind countless legendary recordings isn't always the guitar or amp�it's often the preamp circuitry hidden inside classic effects units. The BOSS BP-1W Waza Craft Booster captures the coveted analog preamp tones from two of the most influential pieces of gear in music history: the vintage CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and RE-201 Space Echo. These units have been treasured by savvy guitarists for over 30 years, not just for their effects, but for the way their preamps instantly add character, body, and richness to any guitar tone.

This premium analog pedal offers three distinct operation modes in a single compact stomp. CE mode reproduces the bright, bell-like character and tight low-end response of the CE-1 preamp, while RE mode captures the fat, warm colour of the RE-201's circuitry that adds richness even at minimal gain settings. For players seeking transparency, NAT mode provides a pristine clean boost with minimal coloration through modern Waza Craft analog circuitry.

The BP-1W's flexibility extends beyond its three preamp voices with selectable buffer circuitry featuring standard and vintage options. The vintage buffer offers lower input impedance for warmer tone and smoother dynamic response, particularly effective when connecting passive pickup guitars directly to the pedal's input. Crafted in Japan with carefully selected analog components and meticulous attention to detail, the BP-1W represents the pinnacle of BOSS design philosophy�bringing exceptional tone and touch response through both traditional analog circuits and innovative engineering.
