Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

CE and RE modes

In CE mode, the Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal replicates the iconic, bright, bell-like preamp tone of the legendary BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble. This distinctive character, known for its immersive depth, can effortlessly breathe life into your guitar sound by adding a beautiful layer of harmonic complexity. On the other hand, in RE mode, the pedal pulls from the legacy of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, replicating its fat, warm preamp sound. It imbues your tone with a rounded, vintage feel that's ideal for achieving a classic, analog vibe. This mode can enrich your sound with a sense of nostalgia and warmth that's instantly recognisable and widely revered in the world of music.

Selectable Input Buffer

The BP-1W Waza Craft Preamp Pedal features a selectable input buffer, allowing players to choose between 'Standard' and 'Vintage' input buffer settings to achieve an ideal tone. On the "Vintage" setting, you can expect a sweeter response thanks to a slight bass cut and tighter signal bandwidth, whereas "Standard" provides an uncoloured, full range input buffer.
