SKU: CP1X

Product Description

The CP-1X is a multiband studio-grade compressor specifically made to retain the character of your guitar. Often compressors can heavily colour the sound and remove the dynamic of your playing but the CP-1X has intelligent processing that allows you to still be expressive, whilst controlling and tempering your guitar signal.

Headroom

The CP-1X is an 18v pedal which means you have lots of headroom to play with whether you're using a 7 or 8-string guitar, or even if you have high-output pickups that would push a 9v into a fuzzy mess. Having such a high headroom also means it will work exceptionally well with acoustic guitars too, to control your strumming.

Retain Dynamics

This compressor can be used for a few different things. If you want the squashed country, chicken-pickin' sound or a bit more control of your rhythm sound bringing up softly picked notes and bringing down heavy notes you can do so. The level control will affect the overall volume of the pedal and the Comp knob will dial in however much compression you want. Making it very easy to retain the dynamics of your playing.

Mr Ken Frazer13th Feb 2023

Since I received the CP-1X I have only had a cursory play with it, but my first impressions are that it is certainly very versatile in being able to dial in settings to meet a wide variety of styles and applications. This suits my needs as I play both electric and acoustic instruments. I am anticipating that with electric slide playing it will prove very effective in bringing out a more sustained and juicy sound used in front of an overdrive pedal. I believe Boss have put a great deal of effort into the design of the CP-1X and this has resulted in a stomp box with sufficient control to make it a popular choice on pedalboards. Well done Boss !!!

This pedal is magic, it seems to improve the sound of my guitar with only a small amount of compression added. It really helps to smooth my sound but make it still sound natural.
