Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble Pedal

DESCRIPTION 

The CE-5 inherits the rich, warm character of the iconic BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble from 1976, expanding its legacy with modern versatility. Enhanced controls—including independent high-cut and low-cut filters—unlock an array of chorus effects, from classic to contemporary. Stereo outputs with separate wet and dry signals create an immersive sound with unique depth and spatial dimension, further setting the CE-5 apart from the crowd.

Timeless BOSS Chorus, Enhanced

The CE-5 infuses the famous BOSS chorus effect with more range, offering everything from warm vintage tones to sharp, glassy colors for modern styles. The pedal’s adaptability makes it perfect for musicians seeking both traditional sounds and the ability to explore new, dynamic textures.

Versatile Tone Shaping

Intuitive controls allow you to fine-tune the modulation speed, depth, and effect amount to craft anything from a pleasant, subtle shimmer to rich, wavy modulation. The two filter knobs provide pinpoint control of the effect’s high and low frequency ranges, letting you shape and polish your sound with maximum precision.

Deep Stereo Dimension

The Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier is renowned for its lush, room-filling sound, produced with a stereo circuit and the unique Dimensional Space Chorus effect. The CE-5 features a stereo output inspired by this iconic amp that provides discrete wet and dry signals. When sent to two amps, these independent voices magically merge in the sound field, authentically recreating the wide, immersive experience of the JC-120.
