When your company is a world standard that goes back to 1977 (at least) and you've developed dozens of legendary tones and pedals, you're entitled to do a little modern repackaging now and then, I think. Boss realise that many of their earlier pedal models like the Spectrum, OD-1, PH-1, Slow Gear and others are pretty much unobtainium to most of us unless we want to shell out four figures for an oldie. So they've reinvented themselves by popping these coveted models (and many others) into a familiar package which they call the PX-1. The PX-1 can load and access sixteen different models with authentic tones and controls, just like the pedals of yore. You simply upload them via Bluetooth from the Boss Effect Loader app and you're away. You'll also get stereo routing plus the familiar control, expression and MIDI facilities seen on most of the current Boss gear. The PX-1 is a lot of fun, simple to use, sounds great and will appease tweakers who like to chop and change their boards every now and then. Killer stuff from Boss, once again.

![CRAFTROS: SPIRITUS FUZZ - No-Chat HSS Jamcut Demo
https://craftros.com/en/products/spiritus
This is a supplementary jam-only demo played with a HSS guitar. The original Strat-based demo can be seen at https://youtu.be/pP6s8EyDNb0
When I moved house a year or so ago and then got stuck into extensive renovations in this new place, a bunch of stuff that was already overdue for demonstration got shelved and lost in the chaos, much of which Im just starting to unearth now. So firstly an apology to those builders who got left by the wayside but I am going to to get through the lot, albeit a little (or a lot) late. This is the Spiritus Fuzz by Japanese company, Craftros. I dont know much about it or them except that its built and presented way above normal standards and it sounds great - kind of a mix between a fuzz face and muff, I guess.
Its probably better described by the guys who built it so heres the blurb from the website:
This fuzz pedal has a stable usability with an outstanding overdrive.
Its sharpness has a moderate mellowness, and it is balanced with a broad coverage, from playing the guitar as the main focus, to band ensembles.
For the tone control in the 12 o’clock position, the active EQ is flat, and with some excellent adjustment to the circuit, we concentrated on intuitively drawing out the wanted sound while making use of the entire rotational range.
Spiritus provide trackability for the guitar volume and also a one knob EQ that will not fail no matter what position it is in so it won’t get too muffled even when turned down, and it won’t sound weak even with turned up settings.
Elaborate circuit design and high quality parts produce low noise.
• Original designed machined aluminum enclosure
• True Bypass
• Controls : Fuzz, Tone, Volume
• Terminals : 1/4″ phone jacks
• Current consumption : approx. 18mA
• Power supply : 9 volt battery [006P], AC adapter
• Dimensions : approx. W78mm x D124mm x H66mm [incl. protuberances like knobs, switches, jacks, etc.]
• Weight : approx. 1lb
