The Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal is the high-end stompbox that tone purists have been waiting for. It combines the variable preamp characters of the legendary CE-1 Chorus and RE-201 Space Echo to give you those iconic baseplates without the associated effects. Along with a default “natural” voice that serves as a clean boost the BP-1W introduces extra richness depth and versatility to your guitar tone. Built to the highest standards in Japan the Waza Craft series BP-1W promises the height of premium analogue tone experiences. In CE mode the pedal reproduces the bell-like chimes and bright tones of the preamp section of the legendary CE-1 Chorus Ensemble whereas RE mode voices the chunky rounded sound of the RE-201 Space Echo Preamp. And if you want minimal sound colouration the Natural mode delivers a pure clean boost to elevate your tone without influencing it. Complete with selectable standard or vintage input buffer you can get the sonic and response profiles youre looking for on the BP-1W.

Preamp & DI Pedals

Preamp and DI pedals condition an instrument signal before it reaches an amplifier, power amp, interface, mixer or PA. They may provide gain, EQ, compression, speaker or cabinet filtering, impedance matching, balanced output and ground isolation, with acoustic, bass and electric-guitar models making different assumptions about the source. The central question is where the pedal sits in the rig: a preamp into an amp input is not the same as a direct box into a console. Check headroom, phantom-power behaviour, cab simulation and output level before committing to the routing.

Analogue

Uses continuous analogue circuitry for some or all of the audio path, so clipping, filtering or modulation arises from physical components rather than sampled algorithms. Check the exact signal path.

Boost

Adds level, gain or both. A clean boost preserves the basic voice, while a coloured boost changes frequency balance or pushes the next gain stage into clipping.

Vocal

Designed for microphone-level signals and the frequency, dynamics and feedback behaviour of the human voice. Input gain, balanced connections, phantom power and pitch tracking may be provided so effects respond correctly before the signal reaches a mixer or PA.
