General

The BC-1X bass compressor by Boss is full of technical gadgetry and boasts a better performance than most conventional compressors. This stomp box compressor delivers multi-band compression audio in studio-quality. It's also extremely easy to use, compact in size and driven by an intelligent circuit. Its advanced design reacts effectively to the dynamics of your attack, and is able to provide a natural-sounding compression as a result. The effect adjusts your sound in real-time, which - due to the very latest technology - never muddles or over-compresses your bass tone.

Pure sound thanks to technology

It sounds contradictory, but the high-tech gadgetry in this Boss BC-1X compression pedal is what retains the natural, pure sound of your core bass tone. Every nuance is captured and analysed so the correct curve can be applied, even if the most aggressive settings are in use. This ensures you can make music without having to concern yourself with the technical aspects. You'll sound awesome under any circumstances, which is sure to help you get those creative juices flowing! Every Boss pedal is designed to support you in this process, because they are just as passionate about music as you are.

Unlimited limitations

Does that sound like a paradox to you? It depends on how you look at it. Even though the BC-1X offers unlimited combinations, and achieving them is child's play. You have four controls at your disposal, and any time you adjust a single knob, several parameters are altered simultaneously. This translates to simplicity and direct effectiveness. What's more, the 18-volt input circuit ensures no distortion or clipping occurs. The pedal has a 12-segment gain reduction indicator that shows the amount of compression being applied, which is a high-end feature that isn't often included in conventional compression pedals.

Deze geweldige compressor moest altijd vooraan in lijn voor mijn Boss pedaalbakje aangesloten op elk Markbass (102-802 MB58121) versterker(tje)!
In deze tijd is er geen Boss pedaaltje meer nodig omdat mijn Fender Studio 40 (voor thuis) gekoppeld XLR, met een van mijn Markbass versterkers!
In deze Fender versterker zit er een Fender Tune app met 10 verschillende compressors! Alles is thuis met zijn alle sounds (wel 100) ingeblikt door mij! Ik zou zeg probeert dat eens!

Ik heb de Bass Comp van Boss nu een paar weken in gebruik.
Na in de loop der jaren al diverse compressors geprobeerd te hebben raak ik steeds meer onder de indruk.
Waar zijn voorgangers van diverse merken mijn bass-sound naar mijn smaak in elkaar lieten klappen en soms ook nog eens een storende ruis toevoegden, is dit een heel ander niveau.
Na de Bass Comp bij de nodige gigs en vele repetities gebruikt te hebben valt me vooral op dat het basgeluid als het ware wordt opgetild uit de totaalsound en zodoende veel beter tot zijn recht komt.
Het pure geluid van mijn bass blijft prachtig intact, maar klinkt meer uitgebalanceerd en gedefinieerd.
En dat nog eens met behoud van dynamiek: het blijft mogelijk om superzachte passages te spelen en anderzijds is even flink gas geven ook geen probleem.
Dat is fantastisch als ik met bigbands e.d. speel.

Dan zijn er ook momenten dat ik loodzware (drop C) stonerrock speel met een hele batterij aan effecten. Dan zit de Bass Comp vooraan, als eerste op het pedalboard.
Waar mijn sound voorheen nogal inkakte, is het nu veel transparanter en vooral heftiger geworden.

Conclusie: ik kan en wil niet meer zonder. Een aanrader tot en met!
Als op één na al mijn stompboxen weg moest doen, zou deze als enige overblijven.
