Boss announced the PX-1 Plugout FX on August 28, 2025, a compact digital multi-effects pedal that recreates effects from its compact pedal line12. Guitar Pedal X reported that the pedal was in global distribution and at dealers by the time of its article1. Premier Guitar reported an availability date of September at $249.993; Guitar World gave the price as $2502, and Guitar Pedal X listed $2491.
The pedal holds 16 effects, eight installed permanently and eight loaded into user memories through the Boss Effects Loader app for iOS and Android, which requires a Roland Cloud account and connects by USB-C or Bluetooth13. The included effects are the OD-1 Over Drive, SP-1 Spectrum, PH-1 Phaser, SG-1 Slow Gear, CS-1 Compression Sustainer, TW-1 T Wah, SD-1 SUPER OverDrive, DS-1 Distortion, CE-2 Chorus, BF-2 Flanger, PN-2 Tremolo/Pan, OC-2 Octave, PS-2 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay, VB-2 Vibrato, DD-2 Digital Delay and DF-2 SUPER Feedbacker & Distortion3. Guitar Pedal X reported that the first eight are fixed and the order of the listed effects follows the order in which they are downloaded1.
The PX-1 has three clickable knobs and an onboard display, with no color screen, and no battery compartment because the screen takes up that space, according to Guitar Pedal X1. It can run one effect at a time or two toggled with the footswitch, and a Swap function switches between two effects13. It offers stereo inputs and outputs, tap tempo and MIDI clock support for time-based effects, and a jack for one or two expression pedals or footswitches23.
"The PX-1 comes with 16 unique effects, including eight permanently installed “1” models and eight that can be loaded into the pedal’s eight user memories."
Guitar Pedal X reported that OD-2, DM-2 and DC-2 Model Passes arrive in January 2026 at $9.99 each, with demo versions that introduce a small audio gap every 30 seconds1. Premier Guitar said each new effect will be available with a low-cost Model Pass in the app3, and Guitar World reported additional paid-for effects from January 2026 that can be trialed for free2. Premier Guitar reported that six months of Roland Cloud Ultimate membership comes with the pedal3; Guitar World described it as a free six-month subscription2.
