Sensational Secret Sauce pedal!!
The BP-1W is one of the jewels in the Waza Craft crown. Boss outdid themselves with this low key gem-it’s part boost, part drive, part compressor and all brilliant.I use this primarily for solo shows with my Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, it’s up front on a pretty extensive board (behind a TU-3W and a ten band EQ), and I use it as a clean boost for fingerstyle, to push my overdrive for solos, to stack with my compressor for edgy tones and controlled feedback and sometimes just as a mild drive.The Nat setting offers a slightly hairy and vaguely compressed clean boost, like an MXR Micro Amp into a Diamond Comp turned way down, but more hi-fi. It simply makes everything sound better and bigger. RE mode is a little darker and crunchier, bringing a replica of the Space Echo pre into play. The CE mode sounds just like a MIJ CE-2 with the chorus controls turned all the way down.The CE mode is why I bought this pedal-my producer has an early ‘80s CE-2 which we often use as an always-on “bettering” pedal, such is the great tone of the preamp in it. This does the same job but for way less money than an MIJCE-2!The BP-1W is super easy to use. Two knobs, one three way switch, and an on/off treadle. Great tone is easy to find-just switch it on, find unison output, add gain to taste and let it do its work.It just works so well. Would probably be my desert island pedal. I bought one before, didn’t appreciate the subtlety, returned it and almost immediately bought it again. It’s simply sensational.

fantastic preamp
Amazing pedal of outstanding quality, if you are looking for that one pedal to sit at the front of your stack and just be on all the time as a booster, then this is it. it can do distortion and breakup if you want but it's great to just sit there and make everything feel more together and balanced before you go into your other pedals or amp.
