General

Housed in a stylish white stompbox, the BOSS Waza Craft Series BP-1W Booster/Preamp serves up the legendary sound of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and the Roland RE-1 Space Echo - two vintage units that aren't just renowned for their inspiring sound, but their analogue preamp, which can be harnessed to inject extra body and character into your sound. In addition to the sonic seasoning offered by two sought-after effects, the BP-1W also puts a natural clean boost at your disposal that will come in handy whenever your sound can do with a little nudge.

The Waza Craft BP-1W: Ample Options

Just like the rest of the Waza Craft Series, the BOSS BP-1W is carefully put together in Japan with nothing but first-class components to guarantee superb performance. This versatile stompbox can be set to one of three modes, where CE-1 Mode gets you a bright, bell-like sound, RE Mode thickens up the sound before injecting some extra warmth, and NAT mode boosts the sound without colouring it. Round the back, BOSS have fitted a Standard/Vintage Buffer mini-switch so you can instantly change the sonic flavour as needed.

Wrote the following about Boss BP-1W Booster / Preamp Waza Craft

Ik was op zoek naar een preamp voor zowel gitaar als bass, en de BP-1w doet heel goed zonder enig low-end te verliezen zoals veel andere overdrives dat wel kunnen doen. De gain in de RE/CE mode kan behoorlijk gritty worden terwijl de NAT setting een clean boost blijft. Dit maakt het pedaal erg veelzijdig. De gain knob voelt natuurlijk aan en heeft een geleidelijke oversturing. Zeker in combinatie met andere overdrives is dit een heel tof pedaal.

Ik was niet echt onder de indruk van de twee pre-amp modellen die je hiermee kan selecteren maar op "natural" werkt het wel redelijk als een booster pedaal. Als je niet zo veel geld eraan uit wil geven dan zal een spark mini of andere alternatieven je vast wel beter liggen maar hé het is Boss en hun pedalen zijn meestal wel goed dus als je zoals ik er toch meer aan wilt besteden kan je er voor kiezen zolang ze nog in stock zijn.
