The new Waza Craft CE- 2W Chorus is a premium analog pedal made exclusively in Japan to honor the 40th anniversary of BOSS effects.
Introduced in 1976, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was not only the first BOSS effects pedal, but also the world’s first chorus effect in pedal form. The Waza Craft CE-2W brings the sounds of these pedals together in one stompbox with enhanced features.The mono CE-2 provides a variation of the CE-1’s “Dimensional Space” chorus effect in a smaller, battery-powered stompbox. Using analog components and BBD circuitry, the Waza Craft CE-2W brings BOSS classics to today’s players. Standard mode reproduces the original CE-2 sound, which can now be further enhanced with the CE-2W’s stereo output capability. CE-1 mode includes both chorus and vibrato, authentically reproducing the original’s distinctive sounds. Rate and depth knobs provide effects adjustment in both modes. In CE-1 mode, these controls offer more sound variation than the original pedal, which was not equipped with a depth control.
