If you're seeking a no-frills chorus pedal that won't break the bank, then the June 60 Mk II is a great call. It sounds excellent, modeled on the rich, seductive chorus found on the ’80s Roland Juno synths. Consequently, it's equally at home on guitar and synth, with extra options available via external dip switches. Despite the price point, it's even stereo via Y-cable.

That’s why the CE-20 includes six chorus modes covering classic sounds from the CE-1 and SDD-320 to modern chorus effects. Three new types of chorus are also provided, for getting everything from extremely rich sounds to chorus tuned specifically for bass and acoustic guitar. New “Brilliance” and “Ambience” Controls

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. Alkaline battery (9 V, 6LR61) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mmCH-1 is a very smooth and clean sounding chorus effect, that compliments any clean guitar signal beautifully (always works great on overdrive). It works great in mono, but also has a stereo output - stereo chorus is always cool!

Even at higher rate and depth settings, you don't feel overwhelmed by the pulse or the fluttering. I noticed that the rate on the CE-2 setting seemed a little faster and more intense, but it was still mild compared to the norm we see in most chorus pedals, particularly the digital variety. 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. The CE-2W Chorus proudly honors the 40th anniversary of BOSS effects with a premium analog pedal made exclusively in Japan. A: No. Although there’s a lot of true bypass hype these days, neither true nor buffered bypass is objectively better than the another. On account of a buffer’s ability to drive long cable runs and provide silent switching, Boss remains resolutely in the buffered camp. Chorus adds an extra dimension when paired with other pedals. Here are some dynamic suggestions for combining it with different effects. Read more… Five Creative Ways to Use a Chorus Pedal for GuitarThe "analog-ness" of this pedal really shows through.
