Leveraging powerful DSP, BOSS applies their MDP (Multi-Dimensional Processing) technology to the BC-1X Bass Compressor Pedal for advanced multi-band compression in a standard stompbox. On the outside, the BC-1X features the standard BOSS chassis with an added reflective accenting and a real-time LED gain reduction readout on the control panel. While the adjustment options on this pedal are simple on the surface, with standard Threshold, Ratio, Release, and Level knobs, each control makes many adjustments under the hood.
