As I've mentioned, you get a really nice modulation layer and not a ton of fluttering or pitch shifting. You can get some of that sound, but the dominant feature of this pedal's tone is a soft, watery layer of chorus which is exactly the type of modulation I like to use. A distortion pedal can be a guitarist's most defining tool. Learn to pair it with other effects and expand your sonic approach.

When you increase the depth, it increases the intensity of the effect. When you adjust the rate (or delay time) it makes the repeats occur closer together or farther apart. Renowned Boss build quality The Boss CE-2 Chorus, and its big brother predecessor the CE-1 (along with the same effect built into the Roland Jazz Chorus amp), defined the sound of chorus during the late '70s and '80s.

Frequently Asked Questions about BOSS Chorus Pedals

First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best chorus pedals on the market right now. The Way Huge Smalls Blue Hippo Analog Chorus is a miniaturized, pedalboard friendly doppelganger of the original, preserving the same features and sweet tones in a compact pedal footprint. Though it’s not sized as a typical mini-pedal, it’s still small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and is less boxy than its original counterpart, making it super pedalboard-friendly. Released in 176, the BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble took the chorus circuitry from the JC amplifiers and placed it at the feet of guitarists everywhere. The CE-1 featured the very same circuit found in the JC series and included both chorus and vibrato functionality. There are five presets which you can call up instantly, but this list expands to a lofty 127 if you use MIDI or connect the pedal to a computer running the Eventide Device Manager software.

For our money, the key areas you should look at when buying a chorus are the range of speed and depth, whether it's digital or not, and whether it's stereo. Launched in 1976, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was not only the world’s first chorus effect pedal, but also the very first BOSS pedal. Three years later, this inventive new sound was squeezed into the blue CE-2 Chorus, and chorus pedals have remained in the compact lineup ever since. Four decades on, the spacious modulated tone of the signature BOSS effect is still loved by musicians everywhere. In 2016, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS innovation, the original analog chorus sounds are now reborn with the Waza Craft CE-2W. The CE-2W’s Standard mode faithfully recreates the classic CE-2 chorus sound, and adds an expansive new sound field with stereo output, which was unavailable in the mono CE-2. CE-1 mode fully reproduces the stereo chorus and vibrato sounds of the legendary CE-1, with the addition of variable chorus depth not available in the original pedal. To commemorate the birth of BOSS effects, the CE-2W is made exclusively in Japan, just as the original CE-1 and CE-2 were.The features and controls are fairly standard for a chorus pedal - depth and rate control the sound and speed of the chorus whilst E.level is an effects level, acting as a wet / dry mix. The CH-1 also includes an additional function in an EQ knob, which can give give a really strong, bright and shimmery chorus sound, whilst boosting the depth at the same time can create a sound verging on the edge of vibrato! It delivers a clean chorus sound with crystal-clear highs and a unique stereo effect, variable between the left and right speakers. An EQ function adjusts the tonality of the chorus sound. Boss pedals are renowned for quality and value and the CH-1 has been an industry favourite for over 20 years. What does a chorus pedal do? The Rate and Depth control configuration are identical to that of the original Boss CE-2 chorus, but an extra output is provided for stereo chorus-only (output A)/direct-only (output B) effects.
