The (r)evolution of bass overdrive. The Boss BB-1X is the next generation of overdrive pedals functioning as a combination of overdrive preamp and DI. Most preamps colour your tone or alter the character but Boss took deliberate steps to avoid the BB-1X doing this; instead it embellishes and invigorates your existing tone and emphasises the dynamics of your playing. If youre after an all-in-one solution that doesnt comprimise the quality of any of the individual sections the BB-1X more than obliges.

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.
