Boss -2W Chorus
Boss · pedal
The Boss CE-2W is a Japan-made Waza Craft reissue of the legendary CE-2 chorus pedal, adding a stereo output and a Mode selector switch that provides access to the CE-2 standard chorus, the original CE-1 chorus, and the CE-1 vibrato circuits. Controls include Rate and Depth for the chorus modulation. Uses analog BBD (bucket-brigade device) circuitry for warm, dimensional chorus character. Stereo outputs enable wide spatial imaging. Reviewed as a faithful vintage recreation with expanded functionality. Suited to clean tones in rock, jazz, indie, and pop.
