Review: Sensational Secret Sauce pedal!! - The BP-1W is one of the jewels in the Waza Craft crown. Boss outdid themselves with this low key gem-it’s part boost, part drive, part compressor and all brilliant. I use this primarily for solo shows with my Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, it’s up front on a pretty extensive board (behind a TU-3W and a ten band EQ), and I use it as a clean boost for fingerstyle, to push my overdrive for solos, to stack with my compressor for edgy tones and controlled feedback and sometimes just as a mild drive. The Nat setting offers a slightly hairy and vaguely compressed clean boost, like an MXR Micro Amp into a Diamond Comp turned way down, but more hi-fi. It simply makes everything sound better and bigger. RE mode is a little darker and crunchier, bringing a replica of the Space Echo pre into play. The CE mode sounds just like a MIJ CE-2 with the chorus controls turned all the way down. The CE mode is why I bought this pedal-my producer has an early ‘80s CE-2 which we often use as an always-on “bettering” pedal, such is the great tone of the preamp in it. This does the same job but for way less money than an MIJ CE-2! The BP-1W is super easy to use. Two knobs, one three way switch, and an on/off treadle. Great tone is easy to find-just switch it on, find unison output, add gain to taste and let it do its work. It just works so well. Would probably be my desert island pedal. I bought one before, didn’t appreciate the subtlety, returned it and almost immediately bought it again. It’s simply sensational.
Review: I have a TS-9 as well, but I prefer this! BOSS is BOSS! - This new, Waza Craft, in other words; Made In Japan Super Overdrive (as were the OG BOSS pedals), is superb! I have a fair few overdrives, and although the Waza Blues Driver (BD-2w) is probably my favorite for lead boosting as an overdrive, this one isn't far behind, and is arguably the better 'always on' pedal of the two, especially for Hard Rock / Heavy Metal tones! That's probably a biased statement, as that's the genre of music I prefer, but stack the two together and you've got something quite special! Harmonics just seem to jump out with this pedal on, and I find myself having a very handy 'Van Halen-esque' tone constantly and easily - great for lead and rhythm. Simple, foolproof layout and knob options, typical bombproof BOSS build quality, low current draw (15mA for all you pedalboard builders out there!), comes with a 9V battery as well. The switch in the middle changes the character of the drive from the old, standard SD-1 (but with improved circuitry) to a more modern take - both are great, but I personally REALLY like the Custom option! Nothing to dislike here, superb pedal at a more than fair price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best pedal of it's type
*by A***B on 24 February 2025*

Likely the best overdrive. It has a really good range from subtle to slightly over the top. Really nice when playing monophonic or duophonic. Not really for metal, there are better distortion pedals for that I would say, but great for rock and blues style for many popular bands styles. Not sure I needed the waza features, when on, the waza reminds me of the Dolby switch hifi devices used to have ie it adds tone maybe a little dull and less rough. Through a large amp this may make a huge difference. Better to have it and not regret it later though when you see reviews or your friends tell you how great waza is
