The Boss CE-2W Chorus Waza Craft is an all-analog Waza Craft chorus that combines the voices of two Boss classics, the CE-2 and the original CE-1. Its standard CE-2 mode delivers the unmistakable thick, lush, shimmering Boss chorus heard on countless classic records, with a liquid, watery motion that thickens rather than drastically alters the tone and can be dialed subtle enough to sit subliminally in a mix or soloed for organic, classically analog movement. The deeper CE-1 mode is queasier, murkier, and more in-your-face, the heaviest chorus among Boss variants, while an added vibrato mode provides a genuinely transformative pitch-modulated effect. Despite being fully analog it is remarkably low noise and preserves the core guitar tone while keeping the three-dimensional character of the legendary originals. It suits players across rock, post-punk, indie, and ambient wanting authentic, versatile vintage Boss chorus and vibrato.
The Boss CH-1 Super Chorus is a long-running stereo chorus known for a clear, creamy, and thick sound with a notably versatile EQ. Rather than leaning warm or overly bright, it carves out a darker, more neutral tonality, with an EQ knob that swings from a modern, bright, shimmery chorus on one side to a subtle, warm, CE-2-style tone on the other. That flexibility lets it produce nearly any chorus imaginable, from bright jangle to dark, thick warble, making it a reliable, balanced all-rounder. With Rate, Depth, EQ, and Level controls and stereo outputs, it has appeared on countless recordings across genres. Its neutral, adjustable voice and stereo spread suit rock, pop, indie, funk, and ambient players wanting a dependable, flexible chorus that can sit subtly in a mix or wash the tone in shimmer.
