Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble Guitar Effects Pedal

The Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble is a compact guitar effects pedal designed to create rich, multi-dimensional chorus sounds. It works by duplicating the input signal with slight variations in timing and pitch, producing the illusion of multiple instruments playing simultaneously. This classic effect has been a staple for guitarists across genres for over two decades, offering both subtle thickening and more pronounced, swirling modulation. The pedal provides comprehensive control through four knobs: Effect Level adjusts the volume of the processed signal, Rate controls the speed of the modulation, Depth determines the intensity of the pitch variation, and the Filter knob engages high- and low-cut filters to shape the tonal character of the chorus effect. This allows precise tailoring from mild, natural-sounding chorusing to the clear, penetrating stereo chorus popular in modern music. It features a mono input and stereo outputs, enabling connection to two amplifiers or use in stereo studio setups for a wide, immersive soundscape. Built with Boss's renowned durability, the CE-5 is housed in a robust metal casing suitable for rigorous live performance. It is powered by a standard 9V battery or an optional AC adaptor and includes a five-year manufacturer warranty. This pedal is an excellent choice for guitarists and keyboardists seeking a reliable, versatile, and affordable chorus effect that delivers professional-grade results in both live and recording environments.
