New and Cool: Boss Compact Pedal 40th Anniversary Box Set
The Boss Compact Pedal 40th Anniversary Box Set is a special limited-edition commemorative package that features one-time-only reissues of the original three Boss compact pedal models: OD-1 Overdrive, PH-1 Phaser and SP-1 Spectrum.
Each pedal set is made in Japan and comes in a deluxe presentation box with a serial number, the Boss 40th Anniversary logo and a personal message from Boss President Yoshihiro Ikegami.
The reissue OD-1, PH-1 and SP-1 pedals are produced exactly as the originals were, with wiring and circuit adjustment performed by hand on a special production line in Japan. All electronic components are carefully selected, ensuring fully accurate reproduction of the original pedals’ sound and response.
Each pedal also includes subtle improvements for modern performance, including a PSAcompatible power supply section with a protection circuit and noise filter, a reinforced battery snap and an LED that shows effect on/off status.

Paul Riario has been the tech/gear editor and online video presence for Guitar World for over 25 years. Paul is one of the few gear editors who has actually played and owned nearly all the original gear that most guitarists wax poetically about, and has survived this long by knowing every useless musical tidbit of classic rock, new wave, hair metal, grunge, and alternative genres. When Paul is not riding his road bike at any given moment, he remains a working musician, playing in two bands called SuperTrans Am and Radio Nashville.
