Boss PX-1 Plugout FX Pedal
Product information "Boss PX-1 Plugout FX Pedal"
At the beginning of 2025, Boss introduced some of its classic pedals as plugins for DAWs. The logical next step is the PX-1 Plugout FX Pedal, a live-ready version for guitarists and bassists. The PX-1 pedal is a platform for Boss effect plugins—eight classic Boss effect icons are pre-installed, including the legendary "Traffic Light" effect pedals OD-1, SP-1, and PH-1, as well as DS-1, CS-1, TW-1, SG-1, and SD-1. All effect parameters of the original pedals can be adjusted in real time using rotary potentiometers. The knobs have a push-switch function that allows you to quickly navigate between the individual modules. All parameters are displayed on an easy-to-read, illuminated LCD display. Additional FX plugins can be installed via the Boss Effect Loader app (iOS and Android) for a fee. CE-2, BF-2, PN-2, OC-2, PS-2, VB-2, DD-2, and DF-2 are in preparation. An optional 2-way footswitch can be connected via the CTL1,2, EXP jack, allowing you to switch between 2 plugins. Also included is a USB-C port for power supply, software updates, and direct plugin loading, as well as a TRS MIDI In jack for synchronizing time-based effects such as delay, etc.
