The CE-2w is a fantastic recreation of a classic chorus effect, now expanded to stereo. It nails that subtle, watery chorus tone perfect for 80s clean sounds or adding depth to leads, and the build quality is solid thanks to its Japanese construction. If you’re after that iconic Boss chorus vibe without the vintage price tag, this is a great choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

The CE-2w uses two independent chorus circuits for a wider, more immersive stereo image – the original CE-2 was mono.
While Boss doesn’t explicitly state the exact BBD used, it's designed to replicate the tonal characteristics of the original CE-2’s BBD, ensuring a similar sonic response.
It's possible, especially with high depth settings; careful EQ adjustments or a cleaner amp tone can mitigate this. Experimenting with the rate and depth knobs is key.
