Description

Launched in 1976, the CEC chorus ensemble was not only the world’s first chorus effect pedal, but also the very first BOSS Pedal. Three years later, this inventive new sound was squeezed into the Blue ce-2 chorus, and chorus pedals have remained in the compact lineup ever since. Four decades on, the spacious modulated tone of the signature BOSS effect is still loved by musicians everywhere. In 2016, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS innovation, the original analog chorus sounds are now reborn with the WAZA craft CE-2W. The ce-2w’s standard mode faithfully recreates the classic ce-2 chorus sound, and adds an expansive new sound field with stereo output, which was unavailable in the mono ce-2. Ce-1 mode fully reproduces the stereo chorus and vibrato sounds of the legendary ce-1, with the addition of variable chorus depth not available in the original pedal. To commemorate the birth of BOSS effects, The CE-2W is made exclusively in Japan, just as the original ce-1 and ce-2 were.

  • Perhaps the best chorus pedal on the market
Style: Pedal
The CE-2W is the ideal chorus for a variety of applications. Classic 80's chorus tones are easily accessible but without any of the quirks of vintage chorus pedals. The control layout is easy to use and it is built to last, rugged, easy to operate, and versatile. With the classic Boss footprint and switching it is familiar and user-friendly. There are lots of famous chorus sounds that can be obtained with the CE-2W. The chorus bassline from songs like "Don't Stop Believin'" is easy to duplicate. You can duplicate old-school Jazz Chorus-style tones. You can also use it as a rotary speaker simulator at more intense settings. Though this particular chorus is more pricey than some other CE-2 type choruses, the extra cost is well worth it. I can't think about much I would change about the CE-2W. ... show more

  • Just like original CE2 plus more and silent in the pedal chain
Style: Pedal
This Waza version fixes all the drawbacks of the original but retains essentially the same classic and sought after sound. I have a mid 1980s CE2 that I love and that sounds incredible but is noisy in my pedal chain and requires the old Boss ACA power adapter voltage. The Waza version sounds just as good (not quite as warm but real close), takes a regular 9v adapter and is noise free in my pedal chain. Plus, the Waza version has the CE1 and custom chorus sounds if you want chorus on steroids or something that can sound like a rotary speaker. This has prompted me to order the Waza DM2 delay and has generated interest in other Waza pedals. I will probably try the blues driver BD2w or SD1w sooner than later. And I will certainly look at some of the others like the DimensionC. ... show more

  • Worth full price
Style: Pedal
After a few days of playing around with it... Price/Features: The price becomes justifiable when you treat it as the multi-effect. Were it just a simple CE2 clone, the cost would feel a little steep. But, to me, there is clear difference between all three modes. The CE2 mode has a subtle almost flanger-like sound. The CE1 mode is the pinnacle of that 'lush' buzzword that is often used to describe chorus pedals. The Vibrato mode inherently increases the rate of the modulation and sounds great as well. I was surprised by this, because I expected to almost never use this mode. I actually really enjoy it and use it often. Interface/Enclosure: I'm a big fan of having less knobs. I get option paralysis with those bigger and more sophisticated digital effects. The two knobs Boss gives you are all you need. Great sounds can be found across the entire sweep of both controls. The iconic Boss pedal enclosure needs no review. There's a reason it hasn't changed in 40+ years. Comparison: I would take this over my Walrus Julia and the approximations from my Strymon Mobius and Strymon Deco every time. The CE-2W beats all three, hands down. It's the sound I hear in my head when I think "chorus". ... show more

  • Great Chorus Pedal!
Style: Pedal
So I do have a Roland JC77 I love the chorus on. However I run a 1x12 Tone King Sky King as my main amp. In band practice two amps, and band practice don’t jive. We are on a big PA and I’m running backing tracks with a click, mainly use mono with a live mic. This thing sounds exactly like my Roland in the 1st mode. Very subtle and rich! The second mode is the stronger one and great for 80s and picking. Last mode mode is more a vibrato thing for me. I crank the rate knob up and it has beautiful artifacts hitting chords. So any mode I use it just works and most settings are easy! Start down the middle and roll both back in unison. It’s very simple and one of the best out there! Prior I was using a JuneV2 I took off my keyboard rig. Now I use that one before dirt, and this Boss Waza after. To me this is the last chorus you will buy, and a hood one to put after dirt for sure. I chose to put a more budget friendly before dirt as a boost and to get a different sound if needed. All around great investment, pedal is beautiful and very durable. Def when I compare it to my normal boss pedals you can tell some extra care went into this. It’s built like a brick house! ... show more

  • Secret Sauce
Style: Pedal
I waited way too long to buy this pedal. This thing has serious mojo… it not only gives you the classic chorus sound (three different ones), but in a stereo synth mix it sweetens the overall sound without being obvious, so it isn’t just a nostalgia relic - it’s a pro recording signal processor.

  • Worth of every dollar
Style: Pedal
This pedal is top notch, every dollar you pay for it is worth it. This is the kind of pedal that stays on your pedalboard forever. The original CE-2 setting is amazingly subtle, great to add to your leads without getting in the way. The CE-1 is magic, to play some chords and create atmosphere. The vibrato setting is something more radical to experiment with if you like that warbly sound, not for me though. Very easy to use, once you engage it you can't disengage it bc it add that magical flavor to your tone, trust me this pedal is a plus in every way. The Waza line is top tier stuff. Glad I bought this. Just how I love my pedals, few knobs, easy to dial in and amazing tone. ... show more

  • Quintessential Chorus
Style: Pedal
This pedal does a great job or recreating that lush 80s chorus sound. With only 2 knobs, you can set them anywhere and can get a good sound. It is a little pricey but it’s strength is great sound with simple controls and it’s nails the classic chorus tones. The Waza toggle opens up additional sounds from the pedal for some added variety. ... show more
