The Boss CE-2W: Reviving the Iconic Analog Chorus for Modern Players

A Tribute to Four Decades of Innovation

The Boss CE-2W redefines the legacy of BOSS chorus pedals with modern enhancements and timeless tones. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of BOSS effects, the CE-2W recreates the beloved analog chorus sounds of the original CE-1 and CE-2 pedals while introducing new capabilities. The Standard mode offers the classic CE-2 chorus tone with added stereo output, while the CE-1 mode brings back the lush stereo chorus and vibrato effects of the first-ever chorus pedal, now with variable depth for enhanced expression.

Premium Waza Craft Analog Design

Crafted in Japan with Waza Craft expertise, the CE-2W delivers a premium analog experience. Its bucket-brigade delay line provides warm, spacious modulation, and its all-analog circuitry ensures a rich, authentic tone. This pedal is the ultimate choice for musicians seeking vintage chorus effects with the reliability and quality of modern engineering.

Intuitive Controls and Expanded Features

Equipped with RATE and DEPTH knobs, the CE-2W allows for precise adjustments to your sound in both Standard and CE-1 modes. The pedal's Standard/CE-1 mode switch makes it easy to toggle between classic and modern tones. With dual outputs, you can achieve a wide stereo soundscape, perfect for both live performances and studio recordings.

The CE-2W is designed for demanding musicians. Its durable construction and buffered bypass ensure consistent performance and reliability. Powered by a 9V battery or AC adapter (sold separately), it provides up to 32 hours of operation with alkaline batteries, making it a dependable companion for gigs and rehearsals.
