Special Reissues of the Compact Models That Started It All

In 1977, Boss introduced the now-famous compact series with the OD-1 Overdrive, PH-1 Phaser, and SP-1 Spectrum. Often referred to by collectors as the "traffic light series" because of their red, yellow, and green colors,… read more these three pedals launched an effects revolution that continues to this day. With over 15 million units sold and counting, the iconic Boss compact design remains as vital as ever, and continues to influence music makers all over the world. Now, dedicated Boss fans everywhere can enjoy the classic sounds that started it all with this one-of-a-kind, hand-wired reissue set, which comes accompanied by a special heartfelt message from Boss President Yoshihiro Ikegami.

Made in Japan, Just Like the Original Pedals

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 features useful modern performance improvements that have absolutely no effect on the tone. These include a PSA-compatible power supply section with a protection circuit and noise filter, a reinforced battery snap, and an LED that shows effect on/off status. (On the original pedals, the LED#s main function was to show battery status by lighting only when the switch was pressed.)
