@springerspencer Not really. The SP-1 has two filters on a double ganged pot that notch one frequency up and the other down at the same time. So two wah-wahs in series would be getting there except that the ''Q" factor (the width of the frequency notch) is wider on the SP-1 than on a normal wah pedal too.
@ayello2007 The amp is a Vox AC15 handwired which has no reverb fitted. The reverb unit I'm using is the Fender '63 reissue external all-tube spring reverb.
It's a nice little effect but it's hard to justify shelling out what they are selling for these days. The same goes for the Slow Gear SG-1, there are lots of analog pedals you could buy for the price of the two of those Boss rarities! Nice video that describes the SP-1 perfectly well.
mod this so the spectrum is attatched to a expression and you have a wah pedal, with a changeable range. and on ebay I see one for 300….. vintage is nice but not that nice.
I had one Boss SP-1 Spectrum many years ago, Its was robbed. today I could only get the Beheringer SE 200 which is exactly the same with the difference that the chassis is plastic and the color is yellow. The beheringer SE 200 is a photocopy of the internal circuit, the sound is almost identical and very economical
It's a good demo, but lacking highlight the middle and lower frequencies. With patience and some ear changes can be made very interesting sound texture giving another instrument
Sounds kinda like a Contour-Knob-In-a-Box – which I have been lurking for since I sold the Valvestate 8080 some 400 years ago but recently found by sheer coincidence in the Marshall (!) Jackhammer stomp box. The SP1 sounds promising too, especially if a B**nger photocopy is available 🙂 Oddly, the going price for a used Jackhammer beats even the B*rs…
I make clones of the sp-1, gotta be one of my favourite pedals, totally underrated, and it really annoys me reading people on the forums slating them.. I liked the Beheringer copy but like most Beheringer pedals, it was noisy, and kinda cheap quality, so i decided to make my own, other people liked it so i started selling them too
I think pedals like this, and the Ibanez AD80 are better used sitting on top of your amp so you muck around with them by hand when playing. You can make some sweet swirly sounds 😀
Nice, demo but I see why Boss quickly shelved this pedal didn't last long on the market yet it is a rare pedal.
Like a shelve display queen same as when someone has a rare yet fugly car keeps in the garage covered for a 100years to gain the collectiabllty of it. haha
Excellent! Says Wane….Boss are now doing a Anniversary set with this pedal in, only con is you have to buy two others to get it! and their not putting it in their Pedal Perks list of goodies either! Shame! great sound…. if your stuck in the 70's – Soul thang… I like it!
@Heartdelay Oh come on man! It's vintage. That means it has to be special and worth lots, errr, doesn't it? 🙂

just get a wah pedal, and then press it on. same treble type filtered sound.
@OCTAVEDIVIDER behringer makes a clone called se200 spectrum enhancer..
but its a behringer….ill check it out but i highly doubt it will ever b like my old sp-1 and not gonna stop till i have one again. but thnk u. for the help i will dig a bit but wld rather hv a sp1. are u ridding of yours?

Great demo that covers the whole spectrum of the SP-1 Spectrum (pardon the pun!)
I see you're wearing converse all star… THUMBS UP TO THIS GUY!!!
Hi ! great demo ! Can you tell me what is the amp used for this video ? i love the reveb sound . Thanks
@ayello2007 The amp is a Vox AC15 handwired which has no reverb fitted. The reverb unit I'm using is the Fender '63 reissue external all-tube spring reverb.
behringer pedals have plastic bodies…………hmmmmmmmmmm
Its a filter pedal.
Great video. I like the way you set it up at the end but for solo not rhythm
So…

I have one for sale for a sensible offer…. probably Boss's best secret tone weapon for sparkling up clean tones

So like a glorified parametric EQ?
the electro harmonics bad stone re issue has a setting like this it freeses the phaze shifter in one place its great
Sounds like shit ! You want how much for it?People are asking stupid money for this pedal.Ebay gone wild.
That is one crap pedal. Looks nice though 🙂
$700 on reverb lmao

wow, this is nice pedal.
This pedal is currently for sale on e-bay!
cheesy sound…too much highs and treble
Pointless pedal.
it was discontinued for a reason.
it sucks
The First of Boss

Excelente pedal, aumenta el volumen y hace q los humbuckers suenen como single coil. Las posibilidades cuando mezcles con otros efectos son increibles
Set it in the middle and it would be a great pedal for Dire Straight's "Money For Nothing."
Definitely a mid-eq filter. Very useful! Especially if you put it before a dirt pedal!
Thanks for that. I def WONT be buying that pedal. Trebly and tinny ewwww
It's a wah circuit. I like the phasey-ness.
Can someone explain to me what this pedal does?

I would never use this pedal, unless I was making 70's porn music….so wait on…but seriously, it sounds like shit. what were you thinking?
almost makes it sound like the pickups are wired out of phase.
Bizarre thing…
it's a bit like the JHS Haunting Mids?
Meh….
