The CP-1X is a smooth ride, baby. Helped along mainly by their new Multi-Dimensional Processing technology that, in a nutshell, takes a look at everything coming to it - from extreme bottom end to shrill top end - and makes everything even. Every note has a good time! There's little bloom (a good thing for me), tons of control, plenty of makeup gain, plenty of headroom (internal voltage doubling to 18V) and it's BOSS tough. You know how tough BOSS pedals are, right? I sure as hell do. This one's a ripper. If you're a compression freak, you need to try this at least once. And after you do, I'll bet you don't leave the store without it.

Of all the compressors over they years this one is hands down the best. Studio like.
Best video of this pedal. I've seen them all.
Sold my Cali76 and using the CP-1X… awesome. Totally transparent and completely retains your tone. No noise.
Boss finally developed a top shelf compressor. This is up there with the best on the market.
Really amazing pedal. It limits the peaks in my picking without changing the tone or giving you hiss
Every time I hear one of the Boss X pedals I am blown away.
fantastic demo, very useful and realistic - many thanks. Edit - bought this on foot of your demo and it is superb. Perfectly quiet, smooth, very musical and just enhances my acoustic beautifully when finger picking and doing quieter stuff... brings the volume up in a really natural sounding way to keep pace with the strummy stuff.
Man..... this pedal is a MUST have.
Great presentation, I think I understand it much better now and I'm gladcI bought it 😂 ..thank you.
ive got one myself and its awesome , this guy demos it very well. So glad i bought this :D
love the look of these pedals, reminds me of toys I had as a kid.
Always on sounds like the right approach.
always a treat , your demos are great , nice style and grace, clear easily understood
Using one on my acoustic board.. love it:-)
Okay, you've convinced me. I need to get one of these babies!
I got this on my board,It sounds real good,
best explanation of this pedal 👍🏻👍🏻
I got this pedal pink label. I loved it at first - sold it - stupid I am . I am ordering now. Thanks
Very nice! Don’t hear much about this one, but seems like a good one👍
great demonstration video man!...and amazing tone wow
Excellent review! Sounds incredible.
Please make an acoustic guitar demo with this pedal
Este tipo tiene la voz de Seiya en latino! Es idéntica su voz!!!!
So cool. I hate bloomy compression so this is really nice to me.
Very good review, thanks
I'm a compressor addict. I've found Carl Martin compressors are best I've used so far (though I'd really like to try an Origin Effects comp), so I wonder if this new Boss compressor does that very transparent, high headroom thing that Carl Martin compressors do. I have a regular Boss compressor and it tends to smear the attack (no matter the attack setting) and filter out low frequencies, making the guitar sound rather thin, which can work in some situations, but is not ideal as an "always on" compressor.
Dave... that's what I'm talkin' about!!
Question: Will a SLOW attack time (in order to preserve transients) sound close to a compressor that has a blend control to achieve the same purpose? I love the way this compressor sounds but it doesn't have the mix control which I think might be better for me. I play a lot clean and jazzy stuff.
Top Review.
waited 40 years for this technology cuz I hate the squish
Well explained
I have actually never really liked compressors-they seem to rob the freshness of the tone, but this one sounds usable.
3:07 Attack. ... So turning it up (clockwise) increases the time before compression kicks in. That always confuses me.
Same. I thought a fast attack meant the comp grabs the note quickly, slow attack it takes a moment to kick in.
Was the compressor before the dirt and delay? Thank you for a great review.
Wow , I will sell my Diamond. Amazing sound!
I love your videos. I learn so much. Now that you have had a chance to play this pedal and the Keeley Compressor Plus. Which do you prefer for boosted singing overdrive?
is this pedal as quiet as they say it is? i use a compressor with distortion at times
please help, I cant decide between this boss cpx1, tc hypergravity or the mxr studio compressor?
sounds better than the previous boss offering but still sounds sterile to me
La Salsa SECRETA!
Based on some of the odd comments here.., it reminds me of many years ago (‘75)…I had been playing for about 6 years and I took an MXR Dyna Comp to a jam….I didn’t really like it, cuz I really didn’t “get it”….
And no offense but it seems many newbies have not developed their listening skills to understand what exactly they are listening for…
It seems that guitar compression can be a bit confusing to newer players…..Over the years, like many things, it gets easier to understand & hear what is going on.
Just sayin..😊
tone, punchiness, and noise floor all considered... this or the wampler ego?
Comparative with Analog Alien Double Classic ?
Does this stuff work well on acoustic guitar?
Yep. This Compressor should work with an acoustic
Where did the sustainer part go that was available in CS-3?
The comp knob basically replicates that
Good！CP-1X Go On^.^7
I don't know what I am missing hear. Many people love this pedal and I am not sure why. The changes to me are very subtle, especially when the dirty channels are played. Is it really worth the asking price?
Very subtle on the drive. Better for sustain and as a boost for drive. But holy shit it makes the clean sound amazing
Someone please help me. I purchased this pedal and I really don't see the results that everyone else claims to get. Even when listening to the different settings in the video. I really don't hear a significant improvement. Especially using it with your clean settings. I just don't notice a huge difference. True, it can be a boost to your gain, but why spend $150 just for a few extra decibels. Not sure it is really worth the money. I watched multiple videos and their has not been one out there that shows this is worth adding to your pedal board. What the heck am I doing wrong? Please comment if you will. Thanks
Turn the ratio knob up.
"artificial intelligence" - nah. Just multiband compression.
"With MDP, only the overtones are compressed, preserving the fundamental" - that is exactly what multiband compression is: different compression parameters are employed for different parts of the frequency spectrum.
Is this a digital compressor?
yes
