BOSS CE-2W Chorus | Premium Waza Craft Guitar Effect Pedal with Analog Circuitry | True Reproduction of the Legendary CE-2 & CE-1 Chorus Pedals | Made in Japan | 5-Year Warranty

The CE-2W is the ideal chorus for a variety of applications. Classic 80's chorus tones are easily accessible but without any of the quirks of vintage chorus pedals. The control layout is easy to use and it is built to last, rugged, easy to operate, and versatile. With the classic Boss footprint and switching it is familiar and user-friendly. There are lots of famous chorus sounds that can be obtained with the CE-2W. The chorus bassline from songs like "Don't Stop Believin'" is easy to duplicate. You can duplicate old-school Jazz Chorus-style tones. You can also use it as a rotary speaker simulator at more intense settings. Though this particular chorus is more pricey than some other CE-2 type choruses, the extra cost is well worth it. I can't think about much I would change about the CE-2W.

So I do have a Roland JC77 I love the chorus on. However I run a 1x12 Tone King Sky King as my main amp. In band practice two amps, and band practice don’t jive. We are on a big PA and I’m running backing tracks with a click, mainly use mono with a live mic. This thing sounds exactly like my Roland in the 1st mode. Very subtle and rich! The second mode is the stronger one and great for 80s and picking. Last mode mode is more a vibrato thing for me. I crank the rate knob up and it has beautiful artifacts hitting chords. So any mode I use it just works and most settings are easy! Start down the middle and roll both back in unison. It’s very simple and one of the best out there! Prior I was using a JuneV2 I took off my keyboard rig. Now I use that one before dirt, and this Boss Waza after. To me this is the last chorus you will buy, and a hood one to put after dirt for sure. I chose to put a more budget friendly before dirt as a boost and to get a different sound if needed. All around great investment, pedal is beautiful and very durable. Def when I compare it to my normal boss pedals you can tell some extra care went into this. It’s built like a brick house!

This Waza version fixes all the drawbacks of the original but retains essentially the same classic and sought after sound. I have a mid 1980s CE2 that I love and that sounds incredible but is noisy in my pedal chain and requires the old Boss ACA power adapter voltage. The Waza version sounds just as good (not quite as warm but real close), takes a regular 9v adapter and is noise free in my pedal chain. Plus, the Waza version has the CE1 and custom chorus sounds if you want chorus on steroids or something that can sound like a rotary speaker. This has prompted me to order the Waza DM2 delay and has generated interest in other Waza pedals. I will probably try the blues driver BD2w or SD1w sooner than later. And I will certainly look at some of the others like the DimensionC.

Adds a unique sound

This pedal is top notch, every dollar you pay for it is worth it. This is the kind of pedal that stays on your pedalboard forever. The original CE-2 setting is amazingly subtle, great to add to your leads without getting in the way. The CE-1 is magic, to play some chords and create atmosphere. The vibrato setting is something more radical to experiment with if you like that warbly sound, not for me though. Very easy to use, once you engage it you can't disengage it bc it add that magical flavor to your tone, trust me this pedal is a plus in every way. The Waza line is top tier stuff. Glad I bought this. Just how I love my pedals, few knobs, easy to dial in and amazing tone.

I waited way too long to buy this pedal. This thing has serious mojo… it not only gives you the classic chorus sound (three different ones), but in a stereo synth mix it sweetens the overall sound without being obvious, so it isn’t just a nostalgia relic - it’s a pro recording signal processor.

After a few days of playing around with it... Price/Features: The price becomes justifiable when you treat it as the multi-effect. Were it just a simple CE2 clone, the cost would feel a little steep. But, to me, there is clear difference between all three modes. The CE2 mode has a subtle almost flanger-like sound. The CE1 mode is the pinnacle of that 'lush' buzzword that is often used to describe chorus pedals. The Vibrato mode inherently increases the rate of the modulation and sounds great as well. I was surprised by this, because I expected to almost never use this mode. I actually really enjoy it and use it often. Interface/Enclosure: I'm a big fan of having less knobs. I get option paralysis with those bigger and more sophisticated digital effects. The two knobs Boss gives you are all you need. Great sounds can be found across the entire sweep of both controls. The iconic Boss pedal enclosure needs no review. There's a reason it hasn't changed in 40+ years. Comparison: I would take this over my Walrus Julia and the approximations from my Strymon Mobius and Strymon Deco every time. The CE-2W beats all three, hands down. It's the sound I hear in my head when I think "chorus".

👍

A truly fantastic chorus pedal. As a professional musician I have an arsenal of FX pedals, including the MXR analog chorus & EVH Chorus which both rule! But the Boss Waza Craft chorus is definitely the most versatile. It’s a wee bit more expensive, but it’s definitely worth the extra money. Wether you’re looking for the classic Boss chorus sound of the 80’s or a smooth modern version of it, you won’t be disappointed!

El sonido original, y además puedes elegir dos modos más, que son más pronunciados. El CS2 original es un chorus sutil, pero es justo lo que le da la calidad al tono. Además tiene modo estereo.

Excellent!!!

Le son de chorus originale qu'on a entendu sur tant d'albums. J'ai comparer de nombreux chorus avant d'acheter, et a l'aveugle c'est toujours celle ci qui a le petit quelque chose de plus qui fait la différence et qui ressort dans le mix. Vous pouvez acheter les yeux fermés.

Toll verarbeitetes Pedal mit den üblichen Boss-Vorteilen (leiser Schalter, simpler Batteriewechse, solides Gehäuse und verschraubte Regler) und wunder bar weichem Klang. Mein Favorit ist der mittlere CE-1-Modus. Mit der dritten Einstellung kriegt man auch eiernde Vibratos hin. Der Klang ist insgesamt eher hell, das ist also kein dunkler Chorus. Das relativiert sich aber, wenn man noch ein analoges Delay dahinter hängt. Ansonsten keine Nebengeräusche und es kommt mit einem Wet-Ausgang. Ich dachte eigentlich, ich hätte mich schon in den 80ern an derartigen Effekten satt gehört, jetzt finde ich mich dabei wieder, wie ich sehr vergnügt Wave mit diesem Sound spiele. Jetzt bitte auch noch einen Flanger als Waza-Version.
