New Boss Pedal - Plugout FX PX-1

[Pepe]

Well, if it sounds good and behaves like the rare red original unit, then why not? The pedal models have to be 100% convincing. It could be possible with today's DSP power.

Yes, but (but) ... the allure of the SP-1 is the rarity? The effect itself isn't terribly interesting. Same for the SG-1.

Ah, I see your point now. The sound of the SP-1 may not be "terribly interesting", but at the same time it cannot be mimicked too easily. For example you cannot do that with a BOSS GE-7 and even not with the PQ-4. Having this special sound (and that of the SG-1) in this strange looking pedal is not the worst thing.

At YouTube my demo videos of the SP-1 and SG-1 regularly receive comments of disappointed viewers. Especially the SG-1 is often regarded as an expensive doorstopper while they say that the SP-1 was a banal EQ. Well, folks, it is not.

Nothing will convince me the PX-1 is something I want. Likely I'll be hard pressed to think it is a "good" pedal at all.
