New boost

A few days ago, I sold off one of my acoustic guitars in preparation for the upcoming unemployment days. It's insufficient to see things through but it's better than no money at all. There was an unexpected windfall along the way so I managed to get the BOSS BP-1w. These days, I'm more interested in acquiring (affordable) gear to beef up my tone so this, to me, was a good buy especially when I get to use accumulated Swee Lee membership points for discounts. Full appraisal soon.

BP

This is quite a strange one by BOSS but it'll click with the I want a little more kick campers, em, like yours truly here.

Strange because this Booster / Preamp (hence BP) unit is based on the booster / preamp circuits of two non-booster units; the CE-1 (Chorus Ensemble) & RE-201 (Space Echo). These were deemed very inspiring in this aspect & were duly extracted & served in a single platter which is the BP-1w. Folks, I can attest to the CE-1 affair despite not owning this pedal but the CE-5 instead. You just get addicted to that simple but useful clean push, especially for your, you guessed it, clean tones. 

BOSS also reminds users that there is an addition buffer type selector at the pedal's rear that could possibly contribute to some tonal variations, so to speak.

I'm definitely interested in this pedal but why does it need to be under the WAZA label which would price it in the boutique-ish price bracket? Hmm...
