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 Wampler Nirvana Chorus is a lush chorus pedal from Wampler Pedals (Indianapolis, Indiana), delivering rich, warm chorus with independent Depth and Rate controls and a 3-position Intensity switch for selecting subtle shimmer, moderate ensemble, or thick liquid chorus character. Designed for transparent, musical chorus that enhances tone without artificial-sounding artifacts.
