Description

The BOSS PX-1 Plugout FX multi-effects pedal delivers decades of tonal innovation in one pedalboard-ready unit. Using advanced hardware modeling, this pedal captures the sound and feel of classic BOSS effects—all without swapping out stompboxes or digging through menus. Eight iconic effects come pre-installed, with another eight available through the BOSS Effect Loader app. From the legendary OD-1 overdrive and PH-1 phaser to the rare SG-1 Slow Gear and beyond, each effect has been meticulously modeled with state-of-the-art algorithms to faithfully reproduce the nuances of the hardware originals. The PX-1 brings a next-generation approach to compact modeling, letting guitarists expand their palette while staying fully mobile.

Cutting-Edge Hardware Modeling for True-to-Life Tone

The PX-1 employs BOSS's latest modeling technology to ensure every effect sounds as authentic as possible. Using the AF (Adaptive Focus) method for 24-bit AD conversion and 32-bit DA conversion, the pedal delivers an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio. This precision, combined with proprietary algorithms, enables faithful recreations of decades of iconic BOSS effects that aren't available elsewhere in hardware form. With the PX-1, you can experience everything from vintage analog chorus and delay to dynamic overdrive and fuzz circuits, all with clear, detailed tone. The pedal also supports real-time control and adjustment via classic BOSS knobs and the LCD, making it both versatile and intuitive.

Intuitive Controls and Easy App Integration

Navigating the PX-1 is effortless thanks to the pedal's wide-graphic LCD and push-encoder control knobs, which combine traditional BOSS usability with modern interface flexibility. Players can instantly view effect parameters, menus and active algorithms. New effects can be added via the BOSS Effect Loader app on iOS or Android, expanding the library up to 16 total effects. The CTL 1, 2/EXP jack allows for on-the-fly switching between effects and parameter control, while the USB-C port supports power, software updates and direct app connectivity. Every feature is designed to let players focus on tone rather than setup complexity.

Expanded Library With the BOSS Effect Loader

The companion BOSS Effect Loader app unlocks PX-1's full potential, granting access to a constantly evolving collection of effects. Players can install new effects as they are released, replacing older algorithms while keeping the eight pre-installed classics intact. From modulation, delay and reverb to vintage overdrives and compressors, the app ensures a virtually limitless tonal palette. The PX-1 can store up to 16 effects at once, making it easy to craft custom rigs for practice, recording or live performance. Users can also purchase the Model Pass for access to future releases, keeping their pedal up to date with the latest BOSS innovations.

Rugged BOSS Build With Flexible Connectivity

Despite its compact footprint, the PX-1 Plugout FX is engineered for durability and seamless integration into any rig. Its pedalboard-ready housing stays true to BOSS's tried-and-true design ethos, and is complemented by balanced 1/4″ outputs, USB-C connectivity, a MIDI IN jack for clock sync and a CTL/EXP input for external controllers. The LCD display keeps all parameters visible at a glance, while intuitive knob controls allow fast adjustments on the fly. Powered via USB or the included AC adapter, the PX-1 delivers reliable performance with low current draw, making it perfect for home studios, rehearsal or live stages. The design ensures a professional experience without compromise in a small form factor.

The PX-1 Plugout FX: Flexible BOSS Tone at Your Feet

For guitarists seeking a full spectrum of effects in one compact stompbox, the BOSS PX-1 Plugout FX multi-effects pedal offers unmatched versatility and authenticity. Its combination of pre-installed classics, expandable app-based effects, real-time control and high-fidelity modeling makes it ideal for modern players who demand both convenience and legendary BOSS sound. Whether dialing in overdrives, delays, choruses or experimental combinations, the PX-1 puts decades of innovation underfoot. Rugged, intuitive and endlessly expandable, it's the perfect choice for musicians looking to explore iconic tones without a complex pedalboard setup.

    Don't listen to the hate. If you're thinking you'd like it. You will. It sounds great. If you can work your computer, and read…You'll have it setup in 30 min or less update/download 8 pedals. Creativity in boatloads. Thumbs up BOSS.

  • It's Boss and it's rad

    This is a great product, I've seen others shouting it down which I don't understand. One pedal with the option of 16 classics to choose from, what's not to like? Can be powered by standard 9V or some standard USB-c. The tones are excellent, I own a couple of the analogue pedals it 'models' and the plug out is excellent at replicating those. If you want a bunch of boss classic pedal options, this pedal is awesome.

  • Absolutely horrible product.

    I buy the product and don't still own it? Horrible. Only expandable through micro transactions. Boss is great with the Katana and their pedals are tough, but this is a huge misstep and a bad precedent.
