Description
The Boss PX-1 Plugout FX is a modern compact pedal for guitarists who want flexible access to BOSS's legendary effects, but with a 2025 approach to control and tone. It's ideal for players who love the classic BOSS stompbox format but want the option to switch between a full range of iconic sounds-without adding a dozen pedals to the board. Out of the box, the PX-1 gives you eight classic effects, including early heavy-hitters like the OD-1, DS-1, and PH-1. With the BOSS Effect Loader app, you can easily load in eight more from an expanding library, including modulated favorites like the CE-2 or delay options like the DD-2.
Under the hood, the PX-1 is powered by new modeling tech that's a serious step up from anything found in previous BOSS hardware. The LCD screen shows exactly which effect is loaded and gives you access to parameters with push-knob controls. You've got MIDI in, USB-C, Bluetooth for app control, and expression/Ctrl support, making this feel less like a single pedal and more like a smart hub for curated vintage tones. Whether you're using it live or in the studio, it keeps your core BOSS sounds in one reliable box-and leaves room on the board for other tools.
It's built like any other BOSS compact, so it'll hold up on the road. What really makes this one stand out is its balance of plug-and-play simplicity and deep, expandable potential. We think it's a smart option for players who need a wide palette of effects in a small footprint, without diving into full-on multi-FX territory.
