Product Description

Boss CEB-3 Bass Chorus, Bass Effect Pedal

Effects for bassists are always a bit tricky. Too much modulation impairs the directness and precision of the sound; moreover, normal guitar effects generally tend to cut the low frequencies of the signal, especially when the bass is a really undesirable side effect. BOSS is one of the first FX companies of the bassists and promises high-quality effect sounds, which should leave the important bass frequencies undamaged. The BOSS CEB-3 essentially corresponds to the CE-5, but has a low filter control, with which the bass range can be adjusted exactly to prevent sound degradation.

  • From the pioneer of the chorus effect comes the versatile new CEB-3 bass chorus. With it
  • you can create long-range chorus effects without altering the natural bass sound. In order to give you even more flexibility
  • we have installed a low filter control
  • which allows you to determine exactly the frequency that you want to record with Chorus. This gives you an incredible range of effects
  • from rich
  • spatial chorus for solos to very easy chorus effects
  • which only affect the overtones. To adjust the sound even more precisely
  • rate and depth controls are still installed. With this versatility
  • it always provides the optimal effect
  • whether you play with your fingers
  • with a pick or slaps. In addition
  • the CEB-3 also has a stereo output
  • which makes the chorus effect much more spatial. A really ideal effect pedal to expand your expressive possibilities.
  • Through the low-pass filter
  • the chorus effect does not affect the low frequencies and the bass sound remains differentiated and does not mash
  • Power consumption: 22mA
  • Power supply with a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply (coaxial connector - negative pole / terminal inside - not included in delivery
  • for example
  • see item #409939# for availability)
  • Dimensions: (WxDxH) 70 x 125 x 55 mm
  • Weight: 450 g
PROS
  • • Dedicated bass frequencies preserve low-end clarity and punch.
  • • Low filter control precisely shapes the bass response for optimal tone.
  • • True chorus effect delivers rich, swirling modulation without muddiness.
  • • Boss’s renowned durability ensures reliable performance for years.
CONS
  • • Limited control range compared to more complex chorus pedals.
  • • Can sound overly subtle for players seeking extreme modulation.
  • • The CEB-3’s sound signature might not suit all musical genres.
