BB-1X Bass Driver; a premium stompbox pedal designed by Boss to give your bass a punchier, bolder sound.

Special Edition Bass Driver

Combining over 40 years of technical knowledge, pedal design innovation and cutting edge technology, this next generation Bass Driver X Series pedal delivers a new tonal experience that only Boss could bring you.

Boss X Series Technology

When designing the X Series pedals, Boss wanted to deliver something truly special. To that end, an incredible amount of research and development was put in to creating the proprietary Boss MDP chip, allowing for Multi-Dimensional Processing.

Multi-Dimensional Processing, or “MDP” for short, allows the pedal to analyse your performance and adapt its own output to your playing.

The BB-1X is able to deliver a huge range of superior sounds ranging from natural clean tones to really heavy distortion.

Adapting and responding to any register or playing style you can throw at it, the BB-1X maintains the body and core characteristics of your instrument’s tone and all the dynamics in the nuances of your performance while making the sound more full-bodied, punchier and providing a great distortion sound on demand.

The combined input from the world’s greatest guitarists and the engineers at Boss has produced an incredibly musical, inspiring and exciting technology in the Boss X Series pedals.

Specially Tuned Line Out

When designing the BB-1X, Boss consulted many of the world’s top bassists and professional PA engineers and, after taking on their feedback and suggestions, decided to enhance the Bass Driver’s Line Out.

The BB-1X features a convenient balanced Line Out jack that functions as a DI when required but with extra enhancements.

Rather than just boosting the low end which would result in an unbalanced band mix through the PA, the Line Out on the BB-1X has been specially tuned to ensure it provides a full spectrum of balanced sound so that it retains the body, punch and presence of your tone.

Advanced Processing for Natural Sound

When conventional bass pedals attempt to provide a punchy sound they often narrow down your frequency range making it sound unnatural while the low end is muffled in an attempt to achieve high-definition distortion tone. Increasing the distortion level on these pedals then decreases the dynamic response of your bass, limiting the expressiveness in the sound.

Boss decided that they wanted to do things quite differently. Advanced technology enables the BB-1X to analyse your bass signal from several dimensions at once, all in real time.

A huge amount of processing is performed, taking into account the instrument’s own characteristics, the playing style, the dynamics, the phrasing and much more.

This allows the BB-1X a huge range of potential when it comes to shaping and enhancing your sound without altering the core tone of your bass guitar and amp.

The BB-1X delivers an incredibly dynamic response that combines solid low-end and beautifully natural sounding, high-definition distortion – perfect for expressive and nuanced performance.
