“The player is not renting or subscribing to access the effect… It’s a purchase that lasts a lifetime”: The Boss PX-1 Plugout FX backlash has gone viral – but is it justified? We put the biggest criticisms to Boss – here’s what they had to say

Boss PX-1 Plugout FX.

Last month, Boss announced the PX-1 – a ‘convertible’ stompbox designed to provide players with the opportunity to play through a number of classic Boss effects, all from a device inspired by its classic compact pedal template.

At its basic level, the PX-1 is a single-switch multi-FX pedal that offers eight pre-installed effects, with the space for up to eight additional effects to be added. The original list includes fan favorites, such as the DS-1 Distortion, and discontinued vintage gems, such as the SG-1 Spectrum.
