Es el mejor

As one of them is purple, I really need clarification here.

omg me too

In my opinion i like the Blue one

Looool :-)

CE-5*

Is that true for the ch1 too?

@@Danthehorse No. The CH-1 does not have independent filter controls for the chorused effect based off frequency ranges. The eq control on the CH-1 is just a tone control for the repeats however the chorus is applied across the spectrum.

Very nice info

thank you!

are you one of the builders for boss pedals? or you have used chorus pedal for a really long time?

It' a great pedal, enjoy! ;-)

The MXR was one of my favourites! But unfortunately it sucks tone even when bypassed (check out my video on that!).

+1 agree. was about to say the same thing

the only sound that would change is the price tag, a $600 chourus sound that sounds like a Boss chorus pedal.

Yes. It's true purpose.

Not at midnight! And not in front of a mirror on a Full moon, at midnight either! It's too sexy.

it might open a time-travel portal back to the 80's

Thanks for watching Dan!

Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching! - Mike

yeah except for the fact that there was no utilization of the duel out put on 3 of the pedals and unfortunatly for this video we don't get to heard where the biggest difference comes from in sterio out

@Infinite Revery CE-2w is the most flexible and versatile, I’d go for that first, and then Dimension C. The Providence Anadime is really good as well.

Can they thought I think they all sound the same

I used to have a CE 300, the stereo image was stunning, should have never let it go, would be curious to listen to one now...

It sounds massive in stereo

I believe the CE5 handles Distortion effects much better also.

​@@squirelova1815 Definitely, I played in a band using heavy drive plus chorus pretty much always on, and the CE-5 EQ was perfect for killing the low end in the wet signal and just adding some color on the highs. Wouldn't be my go-to for a clean tone with super lush chorus, but it's great for more subtle stuff.

@@LunaticTheCatwhich one?

@@MintFX0 The CE-5

Yes! :-) I did recommend it here as an alternative to the CE-2w! It's great!

The MXR Analog Chorus suck your tone

@@julho1584 I havent had that problem with Mine. 🤷‍♂️

I use the metal zone with super chorus and dd-3. They sound perfect together!

💯 true!

With the cut knobs on flat, it sounds like the super chorus... it just gives you more control. The CE-2w "CE for Chorus Ensemble" is basically just the original Chorus Ensemble and the CE-2 in one box in stereo. I do like the way it sounds a bit better. It has a bit more warmth, but the CE-5 is better than the CH-1 imo.

I agree

Definitely a good choice pedal when pairing it with distortion as it offers great control over the end results.

This pedal is a Chameleon and I know what I'm saying since I have it for 14 years now. It stays very clear and defined with distortion... Gave me instant "Somewhere in time tone" with a bit of delay, but you can also use it more subtly to color some solos without being too evident or 80's. On clean it can gets pretty lush as well, even though not the best ever. I also have ce2, ce3, cs9, csl, cs505, sc10 and cs5 because I'm a chorus junkie...and the ce5 is still my go to.

It's a gorgeous pedal, both in look and sound! :-) Thanks for watching - Mike

It's incredible.

I just bought one a few days ago

whats the switch doing on DC

I have to agree. The CE-5 is very underwhelming. I had high hopes for it but it’s just not very lush.

For the CE-5 you have to turn the filter controls all the way up, or at least past 12:00 to get a deeper, darker chorus. It will sound so lush. This was not demonstrated in this video.

@@bradshields1047 Thanks for the heads up. I’ll make renewed attempts!

@@bradshields1047 I owned a CE-5 and it just didn't get the job done for me, the CE-1 switch on the Waza Craft CE-2 is just simply phenomenal, most of the chorus done on 80's songs is spot on with it, its heaven to earth difference

agreed

It's a great pedal :-)

I’m really curious about experimenting with the Dimension C in front of and after the CE-5.

@@FadingFires I also have the Free the Tone Tri Avatar Multi Dimensional Chorus - that's my #1, but I do Love the DC-2W alot. Try it out? Ya never know. Good luck.

Michael Caz Thanks, I actually might when I can afford to splurge on something like that again. Aside from that I don’t create music anymore sadly.

@@FadingFires You can always get back-to-it, - if you get the itch again. I stopped playing Guitar (once) for a few years too. It's very Therapeutic for me, with the Current state of the world.

Michael Caz I certainly miss feeling inspired and I’ve never lost my love of music. It has more to do with my current setting, time, and the fact that I do not have my collaborating partner. I only do my best with him. I can and have experimented with a fair amount of unfinished stuff that I had written at the time (we had roughly an album and a half’s worth of material) and been pleased with the results, but it doesn’t have the same feeling. It used to be when I’d get off work and go over there, we would get everything setup and rehearse for hours upon hours. All weekend, almost non-stop. And there was always a rush I’d get from playing and how much better we were improving, and that translated over into the music we made. Trying to create without that feeling doesn’t...have the same meaning. If that makes any sense at all. And that was our litmus test for the music: if it didn’t create that surge, if it didn’t “light up” and give that rush, or strike something in a genuine way, it didn’t get used. And now I’m stuck that way after all this time. So it’s a bit difficult for me to play for any reasons beyond doing it for the same reasons a person might look at an old photograph.

Yes

That is what I bought ;)

I got the CE-5 and didn't know that...thanks

I was thinking the same thing. It's not a "weaker effect" he just doesn't have the filter on full signal.

@@obahrey5197 It's kind of an odd set-up - have to read the fine print.

The eq on the CE-5 was not set up correctly to be a fair comparison with the other pedals. Cutting the highs and lows is naturally going to impact the tone. Also as some other people mentioned, the older analog CE-5 pedals sound better than the digital versions: "There are 2 versions of the CE-5 where the second version is denoted CE-5A. This is printed on the PCB so it is easy to figure out which version you have. The first version is closely related to the CE-2 and CE-3. It uses the 1024 stage Panasonic BBD MN3007 and its associated clock driver 3101. The CE-5A is completely restructured. It uses surface mounted components and the BBD has been replaced with a digital design. All CE-5s made before October 2001 will have the old analog BBD circuit. The easiest way to determine which version you have is to use the serial number. If the second letter/first number combination is earlier than P1, you have the analog type. This also mean that all digital CE-5s will have a dark gray label." bossarea.com/boss-ce-5-chorus-ensemble/

You're absolutely right. The detune effect on the Boss Harmonist is awesome and works really on high gain.

Had both kept the Waza, they're close but the waza is better build quality and easier to Dail in.

I'd have to agree with you to be honest. When I got the CH-1 years ago, money was kind of a thing and I thought I was missing out but thanks to this video, I can see I'm really not!

I agree that it sounds fantastic. I'm wondering how close it is modeled after the analog counterpart, the CE-300 Super Chorus. Because I'm in love with that rack mount unit!

I agree

I totally agree. I found that the CE5 sounds the best with distortion compared to the Waza's

Indeed

2 years later - sold CH1 to get an analogue CE-5. There are many videos on the pre 2001 analogue CE-5 and more latest digital CE-5. I picked from ebay for 50 quid and for me it blew the CH1 away. Also note the comment by Jesus Mercado below. I keep the treble knob at 1 o clock and the bass full way up at 5 o clock - works well for my guitar / amp settings with warmth - the ce-5 handles distortion extremely well (CH1 didnt) Thinking about Dimension now ---- but definitely keeping the analogue CE-5. There still isnt any comparable chorus pedal video to this excellent one even two years later !

Couldn't agree more.

Bang-on. I bought my Boss chorus pedal some time ago. I really listened very hard and compated the CH-1 Super Chorus with the CE-5 Ch. Ensemble. The Super Chorus sounds very metallic and thin, like low resolution digital (which is probably is). The CE-5 sounds nice and clean. I know the old analog chorus pedals of the 1980s. They sound much richer and warmer, but are noisy.

he wasnt using stereo out, thats where its at, these pedals sound different that way

@@SZINNAPALM ya, if you plug them into a DAW with stereo they end up sounding massive.

Really versatile too. So many great choruses but... I don't think I'll buy anything else for many years

I just bought one
