Cutting-edge processing technology
Beneath the PX-1’s familiar form factor, you’ll find a kaleidoscopic array of processing power. A crystalline 48kHz sampling frequency complements the 32-bit DA conversion, while the A/D input conversion pairs 24-bit processing with Roland’s and BOSS’s proprietary AF technology — a state-of-the-art method of drastically improving the signal-to-noise ratio of AD/DA conversion.
Effortless interfacing and comprehensive control
While the BOSS Effect Loader app expands your arsenal with additional pedals and deep parameter control, the PX-1 also delivers outstanding connectivity. A 3.5mm TRS-MIDI input makes syncing with hardware or software effects effortless, while the USB-C port connects directly to the app, supports MIDI, enables software updates, and doubles as a power source. Built-in Bluetooth adds wireless MIDI functionality and allows you to manage the pedal from your smart device. Finally, the tactile, face-mounted encoders — each fully clickable — give you precise hands-on control of every parameter, eliminating the need for tedious menu-diving.
