BOSS - 'BC-1X'

INTELLIGENT MULTIBAND COMPRESSIONFeaturing cutting-edge BOSS technology, the BC-1X Bass Comp far exceeds the possibilities of conventional bass compressor pedals. This premium pedal includes pro-level multiband compression generated by intelligent circuitry, so it’s easy to dial in natural sounds for any playing style. The advanced design reacts to different dynamics and works to apply the perfect amount of compression in real time, so your tone never loses clarity or character. The BOSS BC-1X is transparent, powerful, and easy to dial, a must-have tool that delivers studio-quality tone and precision for dynamic players.
Amazing Features
• Intelligent circuitry adapts to every register and playing nuance, providing natural compression
• Interactive internal processing enables users to dial in sophisticated multiband compressor settings
• High-resolution gain reduction indicator shows the current compression amount at a glance
• Professional 18-volt input electronics provide ample headroom for any bass
Advanced Technology

Natural SoundCompression is an incredibly useful tool for modern bass players. While there are many bass compressor pedals available, the BC-1X stands out as a completely unique pedal.
Different to conventional units that compress the fundamental tone and muddy the sound, the advanced BOSS MDP tech in the BC-1X offers perfectly natural compression whilst maintaining the original character of your instrument.
Every nuance is captured and processed with precision, even with high compressor settings. The BC-1X keeps your sound true, so you can put your heart and soul into playing without the interruption of different settings for each song or style.
Infinite Tonal Possibilities

Simple ControlsWhile normal compressors can be difficult to dial in just right, the BC-1X makes it easy to get a great sound. Behind the pedal’s simple four-knob interface is a complex multiband processor with multiple interlocking parameters.
As you change the settings, many parameters are adjusted at once, enabling a wide range of tone shaping with minimal effort. And thanks to the intelligent tech inside, you’ll always achieve perfect sounds at every setting, from subtle dynamic control to extreme compression for effect.
Pro Features for Performing Players

Innovative FeaturesThe BC-1X was engineered with practicality as a main focus. The 18-volt input circuitry provides plenty of headroom without clipping, even with the highest signals from active basses. A 12-segment gain reduction indicator clearly shows the amount of compression at all times, a rare high-end feature not often seen in stompbox compressors. The pedal’s noise performance is incredibly low in comparison with other compressors, another huge benefit brought by BOSS technology. With the road-proven BOSS compact chassis, the BC-1X offers reliability for years of heavy, professional use.
