Boss CE-2 Chorus

Submitted on July 12, 2005

As the world's first compact chorus pedal, few guitarist or bassists could resist plugging into the CE-2 Chorus Ensemble. This pedal gave musicians a greater range of control, from subtle vibrato sounds to thick, syrupy chorus. In fact, the basic design and tone of this pedal lives on to this day in its descendent, the CE-5.
