The Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal is a high-end stompbox that delivers the iconic baseplates without the associated effects of the legendary CE-1 Chorus and RE-201 Space Echo. Made in Japan, it offers extra richness, depth, and versatility to your guitar tone. The pedal features three modes: CE, RE, and Natural. CE mode reproduces the bright tones and bell-like chimes of the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble preamp, while RE mode voices the chunky rounded sound of the RE-201 Space Echo Preamp. The Natural mode provides a clean boost without influencing your tone. With selectable standard or vintage input buffers, you can customize the sonic and response profiles of the pedal.
In CE mode, the BP-1W replicates the bright bell-like preamp tone of the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, adding a beautiful layer of harmonic complexity to your guitar sound. In RE mode, it pulls from the legacy of the Roland RE-201 Space Echo, replicating its fat warm preamp sound and providing a vintage analog vibe to your tone. The pedal also features selectable input buffers, allowing you to choose between standard and vintage settings for an ideal tone. The vintage setting provides a sweeter response with a slight bass cut and tighter signal bandwidth, while the standard setting offers an uncoloured full range input buffer.
The Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal comes with various controls including Level, Gain, and a MODE switch. It has a CHECK indicator that also serves as a battery check indicator. The pedal is powered by either a 9V alkaline battery or an AC adaptor (sold separately). It has a compact design, measuring 73 (W) x 129 (D) x 59 (H) mm / 2-7/8 (W) x 5-1/8 (D) x 2-3/8 (H) inches and weighing 430 g / 1 lb. The pedal also comes with a five-year warranty from BOSS.
Overall, the Boss BP-1W Waza Craft Booster/Preamp Pedal offers premium analogue tone experiences, combining the preamp characteristics of iconic baseplates into a high-quality stompbox. Whether you’re looking for the bright chimes of the CE-1 Chorus or the rounded vintage sound of the RE-201 Space Echo, this pedal delivers exceptional tone and versatility.
