The classic BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and the RE-201 Space Echo are legendary for their inspiring delayed effects, however they are also loved for their variable analogue preamp circuitry. The preamp instantly integrates guitar tones full of character & richness.

The Boss BP-1W is a natural sounding & iconic preamp, all in one pedal. The pedal has three diverse sound characters contained. The level knob controls the overall volume, or how much you push the amp or drive pedal you are using.

The Gain knob adds saturation & compression. The selectable input buffer gives you two choices – the first one is called the STD and is used for more of a wide range tone, while the VTG gives you a sweet vintage tone.

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. 

Modes

  • NATURAL – This mode is used when you need a perfectly clean booster, without any colouration.
  • CE – This preamp sound is based on the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble pedal.
  • RE – This preamp sound is modelled on the Roland RE-201 Space Echo preamp sound.

Boss Waza Craft

Boss

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Boss is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Delay Pedals and Distortion Pedals. Current listings include PW-3 Wah, PX-1 Plugout FX and FZ-5 Fuzz. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals shape an instrument signal and can feed a mixer, interface, PA, recorder or amplifier with a more controlled level and impedance. They may add EQ, gain, cabinet simulation, balanced output, ground lift or instrument-specific voicing. A bass, acoustic or electric-guitar preamp can solve very different problems, so check the input headroom, output format, phantom-power behaviour and routing. Decide whether the pedal should drive an amp, replace one for direct use or perform both roles.

Analogue

Analogue products use continuous audio circuitry for some or all of the signal path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. The label does not guarantee a particular tone; component choice, headroom, bias, noise and the surrounding gain stages still matter. Check whether the switching, presets, control section or cabinet stage is digital when the exact signal path is important.

Boost

Boost pedals raise level, add gain or do both. A clean boost mostly preserves the source voice and pushes the next gain stage harder; a coloured boost changes the frequency balance as it lifts the level, while treble or mid boosts narrow the emphasis deliberately. Gain, output, tone, presence and headroom shape the result. Place the boost before overdrive for more clipping, after gain for more level, or into a clean amp when a louder signal is the aim.

Vocal

Vocal products process a microphone signal with harmony, reverb, delay, doubling, pitch correction, distortion or tone shaping. Microphone type, phantom-power handling, input gain, footswitch control and balanced output are as important as the effect list. Check key or scale settings, monitoring, feedback control, dry-signal routing and the intended PA or interface connection before using a vocal effect on stage.
