Product Information
Full details
The Boss PX-1 Plugout FX Multi-Effects Pedal is designed for musicians seeking to integrate a wide array of classic BOSS effects into a single, compact unit. Its key benefit is the faithful reproduction of original BOSS effect tones and responses by dedicating all DSP resources to a single effect at a time, with the caveat that effects are loaded individually. This pedal offers 16 starter effects and the ability to expand your collection through paid model passes, controlled via USB or Bluetooth with a dedicated app.

FAQs
How many effects can be loaded onto the PX-1 at once?
The PX-1 is designed to run one effect at a time, with the ability to load up to 16 effects (plus the 16 starter effects) that can be switched on the unit. Additional effects are loaded via the BOSS Effect Loader app.
Can I use my own effects with the PX-1?
The PX-1 allows you to load specific 'Plugout' effect models purchased through BOSS. It does not support loading custom impulse responses or third-party user-created effects directly.
What is the difference between the starter effects and purchased model passes?
The starter effects are pre-loaded onto the unit for immediate use. Purchased model passes unlock additional, often more specialized or updated, BOSS effect algorithms that you can then load onto the PX-1.
Can I control the effect parameters in real-time?
Yes, you can connect an optional expression pedal or up to two footswitches to the CTL jack for real-time control over certain effect parameters, depending on the loaded effect.
Does the PX-1 require a specific power supply?
The PX-1 can be powered by the included AC adapter or via USB bus power. It is recommended to use the provided AC adapter for stable performance, especially when using power-hungry effects or external pedals.
Is the BOSS Effect Loader app available for desktop computers?
Currently, the BOSS Effect Loader app is available for iOS and Android mobile devices. Management and loading of effects are performed through these mobile platforms.
Can I connect two PX-1 pedals together?
The PX-1 is a single unit. While it has stereo outputs, it is not designed to be daisy-chained or networked with another PX-1 pedal for expanded functionality beyond its individual capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Unit does not power on.
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to both the unit and a working power outlet. If using USB power, verify the USB cable is functioning and the power source is adequate. Try a different power outlet or USB port.
No sound output.
Check that all audio cables are securely connected to the correct input and output jacks. Verify that the correct effect is loaded and active. Ensure the volume on connected amplifiers or interfaces is turned up. Test cables with another device.
Bluetooth connection fails.
Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device and that the PX-1 is powered on. Try restarting both the PX-1 and your mobile device. Unpair and re-pair the device within your mobile device's Bluetooth settings.
App cannot detect the PX-1.
Confirm the PX-1 is connected via USB or Bluetooth. If using USB, ensure the correct connection mode is selected in the app. Restart the app and the PX-1. Ensure your device's operating system is up to date.
Effect is not as expected.
Verify that the correct effect model has been loaded and is currently active. Check the parameters within the loaded effect (if accessible via the app or external controls) and ensure they are set appropriately. Consult the manual for the specific effect's characteristics.

To load effects, download the BOSS Effect Loader app from your device's app store (iOS/Android). Connect the PX-1 to your device via Bluetooth or USB Type-C, and follow the app's instructions to select and load desired effects.
Compatibility: The PX-1 is compatible with standard 1/4-inch instrument cables for audio connections. The CTL jack supports standard expression pedals or dual footswitches. The USB Type-C port is for data and power. Ensure your smartphone or tablet meets the minimum OS requirements for the BOSS Effect Loader app.
Care: Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or aerosol cleaners. Protect the pedal from extreme temperatures, moisture, and direct sunlight. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent damage to the jacks.
