BOSS BC-1X X-Series Bass Compressor

Part of the premium sound X-series, the BOSS BC-1X delivers cutting edge modern bass compression in a compact pedal. Multiband compression is applied automatically according the dynamics of your playing and the register for a perfectly punchy sound all the time.

Natural and powerful compression for any bassist.

• Circuitry continually adapts to how you’re playing and the register you’re playing in to give you a natural and clear bass tone.
• Simple controls combined with sophisticated internal technology for powerful multiband compression.
• Intelligent circuitry means powerful but transparent compression for dynamics players.

Features and controls fit for the pros. 

The BOSS BC-1X gives you full control with Level, Release, Ratio, and Threshold knobs, plus a gain reduction meter for reference at a glance. 18-volt electronics on the input side ensures maximum headroom and prevents distortion. Digital processing means none of the noise typically associated with compressors.

Keep your tone punchy and precise with the BC-1X!
