The BT-1 is a simple, single-trigger pad with a compact, curved shape.

Plugging the BT-1 into a trigger input on a V-Drums module or SPD-series percussion pad allows users to play any sound or trigger a wide variety of functions. These include start/stop of songs and phrase loops, kit selection, tap tempo, effects on/off, and many others. For V-Drums players, the BT-1 makes it simple to incorporate additional triggers without having to add more pads. For acoustic drummers, the BT-1 offers an easy and affordable way to integrate electronics with their kits. Unlike large round pads and footswitches, the BT-1 blends seamlessly without the player having to adjust their setup or playing style.

Next-Generation Effects with Innovative New MDP Technology Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2013 — BOSS is pleased to announce three next-generation compact pedals featuring innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP). Powered by this important new technology, the TE-2 Tera Echo, DA-2 Adaptive Distortion, and MO-2 Multi Overtone pedals deliver an amazing range of dynamic and expressive sonic textures, providing guitarists an exciting new set of tools to dramatically expand their tonal range. Superior Tone with Multi-Dimensional Processing Roland's innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) analyzes audio signals in many dimensions and applies ideal effects to each. By giving different dynamic changes relative to the input signal in real time, MDP can create bold, all-new sounds with a previously unattainable range of expression. TE-2 Tera Echo [attachment=141546:name] The TE-2 delivers amazing new ambience effects that go far beyond traditional reverb and delay processing. MDP produces an incredibly deep and spacious sound, dramatically enhancing the straight guitar tone without overwhelming it. With simple, familiar stompbox controls and incredible dynamic sensitivity, an extremely wide range of inspiring sounds can be achieved. In addition, the TE-2’s expressive Freeze function allows players to hold the current effect sound for lead backing and unique sound effects. The 100th BOSS Compact Series Model The TE-2 has the further distinction of representing the 100th model in the long history of the BOSS compact series. Starting with the release of the OD-1 Overdrive in 1977, BOSS’ legendary stompboxes have been integral tools of artistic expression for millions of players around the world. Fueled by a spirit of dedication and innovation that began nearly four decades ago, the TE-2 and the new MDP-powered pedals carry on the BOSS legacy of bringing inspiring, leading-edge technologies to all musicians. DA-2 Adaptive Distortion Unlike standard distortion pedals that process the entire guitar signal with a single effect, the MDP-powered DA-2 adapts the sound in real time to create the ideal tone for every register. The result is a rich, musical distortion that plays well all over the guitar neck, from tight, edgy low-string tones to fat, smooth highs. With the power of MDP, the DA-2’s distortion is amazingly responsive to playing dynamics, and every note can be heard with high definition, even when playing two or more notes at the same time. MO-2 Multi Overtone The MO-2 provides incredibly distinctive and expressive tones only possible with the magic of MDP. Using the guitar’s rich harmonic overtones as a starting point, the MO-2 builds completely unique sounds that enhance and thicken the normal tone. Three different modes offer diverse sound-shaping options, while the DETUNE knob unlocks a wide range of impressive modulation effects. From shimmery multi-string resonance to flute-like transparency to powerful textures reminiscent of organs and synths, the MO-2 brings a variety of all-new dynamic resonance characteristics to guitarists everywhere.
