More than a Stompbox Bass

Endless possibilities to create the body of your sound

All bass need, inter alia, body and punch, as well as a wide range of tools for their preparation. And that's when the BB-X1 shows above the others. With our latest technology, you get access to infinite possibilities of producing professional quality sounds. Combined with High and Low knobs, the Blend knob lets you adjust with exceptional precision the perfect balance that will make your sound unique.
The sound of the BB-1X is not an illusion

To produce a punchy sound, a conventional bass pedal often narrows the frequency range, which has the effect of making the artificial sound. The low frequencies can also be muted when seeking sound clear and defined distortion. When increasing the level of distortion, the dynamic response is reduced, which limits your ability of expression.

BOSS With advanced technology, BB-1X bass signal analysis across multiple dimensions and in real time. This enormous amount of data is processed by taking into account the instrument, playing style, phrasing, dynamics, etc. This allows you to develop and expand its many, many ways, without altering the natural timbres of your instrument and your amplifier. By combining strong bass and clear with natural distortion, BB-1X delivers dynamic response capable of reflecting the unique expressiveness of every bass player.
A Line Out customized output to produce an impressive direct sound

On stage, a bass plugged into a DI, often sees its separate signal into two outputs: one hand to the amp, the other to the sound system. BB-1X Line Out provides a balanced output that works as a DI when you need it. But make no mistake: this is not a standard Line Out. BOSS was designed to produce superior sound quality.

The sound you have meticulously developed, on your amp for stage, may be radically different from the fate of a DI to reach public ears. For the engineer's main concern is making a good overall sound for the group. After talking with many professional bassists and sound engineers, BOSS gathered their advice and used it to incorporate unique upgrades to the Line Out of the BB-1X.

The sound produced by the Line Out of the BB-1X is not simply the result of a boost low frequencies, which would result in an unbalanced mix front speakers. Special design produces a balanced sound over a wide frequency range without losing the punch, the body and the presence of your sound natural.

Thanks to all the team and the BOSS-1X BB, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: an output to your amp that lets you hear on stage, the sound that you like; and DI type of output that maximizes your sound and sends facade faithful version of the sound you have patiently developed.
