Boss CP-1X Compression Pedal for Electric Guitar

A good compression pedal is vital for many guitarists, but many of them can hinder your dynamic or tonal expression. Thanks to BOSS's next-generation MDP technology, you can use the CP-1X to compress your sound and still play as expressively as you desire! The CP-1X is a new type of multiband compressor with intelligent processing that takes your guitar signal and reads it in several dimensions as you play, meaning your dynamics aren't lost and your tone is never colored or muddied up. From mellow phrases to heavy rhythms and technical solos, your nuance remains defined.

The four-knob interface makes dialing your tone to sophisticated detail as easy as ever. The controls will be familiar to anyone who has used standard compressors, but the tone shaping ability is truly in its own class. A gain reduction indicator shows you how much compression is being applied to your signal.

Perfect for all types of guitars, the CP-1X leaves typical stompbox compressors in the dust.
