hi there guys I'm Sam from professional music technology and today I'm taking a
look at the boss special edition CP 1x compressor and seeing how it compares to
the standard cs3 Pedal
Hey
that may look very similar but these two pedals are worlds apart whereas the
best-selling cs3 is an analog compressor the next generation CP 1x is powered by
bosses state-of-the-art multi dimension processing or MVP digital processor
cosmetically these new X range of pedals are very similar to every other boss
pedal out there they've got the same bulletproof housing comes supplied with
a five-year warranty and they run off a 9-volt battery or optional power supply
but the big giveaway there's something special about them is this shiny control
panel and chrome knobs the CP 1x also has a handy LED compression meter so you
can easily see the amount of gain reduction whilst playing this controls
that output volume compression level attack and ratio even though it's really
simple to use as you're tweaking each of these knobs you're actually controlling
multiple interlocking parameters at once enabling a wide range of tone shaping
with minimal effort the powerful DSP process is intelligent circuitry adapts
to the subtle nuances in your playing providing a really natural compression
was maintaining clarity and because it's digital it greatly reduces noise a
common problem for many analog compressors this low noise floor
combined with its punchy transparent sound means that the CP 1x also works
really well as a booster pedal with its professional-grade
18 volt input circuitry the CP 1x allows ample Headroom for even the hottest of
pickups this means you can use any type of guitar 6 7 or h3 or an
electro-acoustic and it will still deliver exceptional clarity without any
unwanted distortion so let's plug it in take a listen and do a quick tonal
comparison with the standard analog cs3 this is the boss special edition CP 1x
