The BB-1X is Boss's premium tone-shaping tool for bass, and it operates in a different league from typical bass overdrive pedals. The intelligent multi-band processing analyzes your signal and applies harmonics and drive across frequency bands independently, so you get punchy, present distortion in the mids and highs without losing the weight and clarity of your low end. It responds beautifully to your playing dynamics.

From a subtle warmth that thickens your clean tone to aggressive, growling distortion that cuts through a heavy band mix, the BB-1X covers the full range of bass drive sounds. The Blend control lets you mix in just the right amount, and the Low and High EQ dials fine-tune the character. It works great as an always-on tone enhancer or as a dedicated drive sound for specific songs. If you're a bassist who's been frustrated by overdrive pedals that thin out your low end, this one gets it right.
