Los Angeles, CA, August 28, 2025—BOSS introduces the PX-1 Plugout FX, an innovative hardware platform that captures the timeless BOSS compact pedal experience in one versatile pedal. This convertible stompbox holds multiple authentic effect recreations from the historic BOSS effects lineup, providing endless fuel for every creative journey. Sixteen effects are included with purchase, and more can be added over time with the BOSS Effect Loader app for iOS and Android devices.
Since 1977, BOSS compact pedals have inspired generations of musicians around the world. Over 140 unique models have been produced, over 19 million units have been sold, and many have remained in non-stop production for decades. From vintage classics and go-to workhorses to rare and specialty effects, the PX-1 unlocks the diverse BOSS compact pedal range within a single stompbox.
Backed by newly developed BOSS algorithms, each effect in the PX-1 delivers the genuine sound and response of the pedal it’s based on. Every detail is modeled with stunning accuracy, thanks to a powerful DSP engine dedicated to recreating the sound of a single effect at a time. Users can dial in tones fast with the familiar BOSS knob interface, supported by an onboard display for current parameters and internal settings.
The PX-1 offers external control with one or two footswitches or an expression pedal. There’s a Swap function to switch between two effects, and nearly any parameter can be assigned for real-time expressive control while performing. Stereo I/O provides flexible connectivity and enhanced sound for models with stereo operation, while tap tempo and MIDI clock support are provided for time-based effects.
An Ever-Expanding Library
The PX-1 comes with 16 unique effects, including eight permanently installed “1” models and eight that can be loaded into the pedal’s eight user memories. Many more PX-1 effects will be added over time, and each new effect will be available with a low-cost Model Pass within the BOSS Effect Loader app.

This provides complete access to the full BOSS Effects Pedals library, JC-120 Jazz Chorus and RE-201 Space Echo plug-ins, and many other powerful creative tools.
