Boss released the first trio of PX-1 Model Passes in January 2026, comprising the DM-2 Delay, DC-2 Dimension C and OD-2 TURBO OverDrive¹. The passes add emulations of the three vintage compact pedals to the PX-1 Plugout FX, a compact pedal that holds a fixed set of onboard effects plus a limited number of downloadable ones¹².

The PX-1 ships with eight "1" designation effects in its permanent library: the OD-1 Over Drive, PH-1 Phaser, SP-1 Spectrum, DS-1 Distortion, CS-1 Compression Sustainer, TW-1 T Wah, SG-1 Slow Gear and SD-1 SUPER OverDrive¹. It also has eight user locations for downloaded effects, which are obtained through the Boss Effect Loader app after registering the pedal with a free Roland Account¹³. The Model Passes are bought and downloaded through that app, which is available on Android and iOS, at $9.99 each or $19.99 for three².

Guitar Pedal X dates the original pedals behind the January passes as the DM-2 Delay (1981-84), DC-2 Dimension C (1985-89) and OD-2 Turbo OverDrive (1985-95)². The same outlet reported that the PX-1 holds 16 models in total, eight fixed and eight downloadable, and that downloaded models appear in the order they were downloaded and cannot be freely rearranged or deleted from the original set². It called the pedal's organizational side "not right in my opinion" and said the firmware needs an update to allow models to be moved and unwanted ones removed².

Boss describes the PX-1 as giving "guitarists of all styles and levels access to a spectacular array of vintage, rare, and classic BOSS effects," and says its engineers in Japan are continuing to develop optional Model Passes¹. The maker has not published US pricing for the PX-1 pedal itself in these pages.
