Intelligent processing analyzes your signal in multiple dimensions as you play providing advanced dynamics control that never colors or muddies your tone like typical stompbox compressors can. The simple four-knob interface makes it easy to dial in sophisticated results while the handy gain reduction indicator always shows you how much compression is being applied. Optimized for all types of guitars the CP-1X offers next-generation performance for every style of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNext-generation guitar compressor that uses BOSSrs advanced MDP tech to preserve musical expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntelligent circuitry adapts to every register and playing nuance providing natural compression with exceptional clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSophisticated under-the-hood processing with multiple interlocking parameters accessible with simple stompbox controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGain reduction indicator shows the cu'rent compression amount at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital circuitry greatly reduces noise a common problem with standard compressors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional 18-volt input electronics provide ample headroom for clean punchy sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with all types of guitars including seven- and eight-string instruments and acoustic-electrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBOSS five-year wa'ranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIntelligent Processing for Natural Sound\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you first plug into the CP-1X` you’re in for a totally new guitar compressor experience. Typical stompbox compressors color and restrict your sound` and are hard to dial in for various playing styles. The innovative CP-1X eliminates these drawbacks and more` opening up a world of expressive potential. The powerful MDP engine analyzes your guitar’s many different tonal elements in real time` providing natural compression that intelligently follows and adapts to your playing. With this high-tech approach` your true tone and technique always comes through` even when using aggressive settings for that effected “squish.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eTap Into New Levels of Musical Expression\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo matter what kind of guitar or style you play` the CP-1X always delivers rich` musical tone. From mellow phrases and arpeggios to heavy rhythms` fast solos` and beyond` every playing nuance remains detailed and defined. The pedal also provides superior performance for chicken pickin’ country licks` funky rhythm grooves` and other standard guitar compressor applications` and works great as a booster thanks to its punchy` transparent sound. On seven- and eight-string guitars` the CP-1X easily controls upper-range dynamics without compromising your powerful low-end tone. And when used with acoustic-electric guitar` the natural` lush overtones are fully preserved as you go from gentle fingerpicking to full-chord strums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eStudio-Level Results with Simple Controls\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the knobs on most pedal compressors` what you see is what you get. Not so with the CP-1X` as the pedal’s controls interact with each other at a highly detailed level. When you turn a knob` numerous interlocked parameters are adjusted under the hood at once. This gives you dynamics control and tone shaping ability that far exceeds standard compressor pedals` providing results previously attainable only with high-end studio processing. The good news is that you don’t need to be a sound engineer to use the CP-1X—its sophisticated MDP processing has been meticulously fine-tuned by the BOSS engineers to let you dial in ultra-polished tone with familiar stompbox controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHigh-End Features for Pro Performance\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CP-1X features pro-level 18-volt input circuitry that provides ample headroom for the hottest guitar pickups` ensuring exceptional clarity with any instrument. A 16-segment gain reduction indicator clearly displays the compression amount` making it easy to see what the pedal’s doing. The CP-1X’s noise performance is also extremely low in comparison with other compressors` another huge benefit brought by BOSS technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eMDP: Advanced Tech` Superior Tone\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeveraging decades of research and development` BOSS’s proprietary Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology offers a fresh approach to achieving exceptional guitar tones. In real time` MDP analyzes the various elements that make up the sound` including frequency` overtones` dynamics` pickup response` and more. Various playing characteristics are analyzed as well` such as note register` single notes vs. chords` bends` vibrato amount` and others. Each individual element is then processed in unique ways to produce optimized tones as you play. With its ultra-detailed` high-tech approach` MDP delivers tone quality and playability that reaches far beyond the limits of traditional effects processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003en\u0026gt;SpecificationsNominal Input Level-20 dBuInput Impedance1 M ohmNominal Output Level-20 dBuOutput Impedance1 k ohmRecommended Load Impedance10 k ohms or greaterBypassBuffered bypassControlsPedal switch\u003cbr\u003eCOMP knob\u003cbr\u003eRATIO knob\u003cbr\u003eATTACK knob\u003cbr\u003eLEVEL knobIndicatorsCHECK indicator (Serves also as battery check indicator)\u003cbr\u003eGAIN REDUCTION indicatorConnectorsINPUT jack\u003cbr\u003eOUTPUT jack\u003cbr\u003eDC IN jackPower SupplyAlkaline battery (9V` 6LR61)\u003cbr\u003eAC adaptor (sold separately)Working Voltage18 VCurrent Draw90 mAExpected battery life under continuous useAlkaline: Approx. 3 hours\u003cbr\u003e* These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.AccessoriesOwner's Manual\u003cbr\u003eLeaflet (\"USING THE UNIT SAFELY`\" \"IMPORTANT NOTES`\" and \"Information\")\u003cbr\u003eAlkaline battery (9V` 6LR61)Option (sold separately)AC adaptor (PSA series)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdt class=\"\\\u0026lt;\/p\"\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e","brand":"Boss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619741364514,"sku":"CP1X","price":355.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/cp-1x_main__32492.1587101973.1280.1280_36450e55-20b1-4dc7-9fde-c87150cdc177.jpg?v=1790232482"},{"product_id":"boss-cs3-compression-sustainer","title":"BOSS CS3 - Compression Sustainer","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe BOSS CS-3 has been a favourite of studio pros for years, thanks to its fluid tones that smooth out playing dynamics by compressing loud signals and boosting quiet signals.
