BOSS Ce-5 Stereo Chorus Ensemble

Product Information

Its qualities and capabilities will surprise you in the best way and that’s always a good thing, right? But if I were you I would not trust a mere blubber of a stranger. If so, then stay with me as I provide you with all the details that made me fall in love with this pedal in the first place. Let’s begin! Features

Boss’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a Boss effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, Boss have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet Boss have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from Boss’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams. R. Assign this EULA, or any right or obligation under this EULA, or delegate any performance, without Roland’s prior written consent, unless You are transferring the Software in accordance with the Transferability Section 3 below. Even if Roland consents to an assignment, You remain responsible for all obligations under this EULA that You incurred prior to the effective date of the assignment. When it comes to the outputs, the two models have the same approach which most musicians will appreciate. There are two signal outputs A and B. This means that users can connect the pedals to two amplifiers for lush stereo chorus output. Each will receive a different kind of sound. With the Output A port, you can tap the wet signal with all the effects created. With the Output B port, you are able to get the straight dry signal for a clean and crisp audio. As a result, guitarists will be able to enjoy a more pleasing and colorful sound where the original signal still dominates while the chorus effect plays support instead of overpowering everything else. Sound QualityReliability really can be affordable to all. Boss are so sure their compact pedals last the test of time, they cover them with a full five year warranty. Key Features

This End User License Agreement (“EULA”) is between the individual consumer or business entity that will use the Software (“You”) and Roland Corporation (“Roland”). We also did a "flashing rate mod."The LED flashes in time with whatever rate you set for the pedal. When you turn up the rate, the LED flashes faster. When you turn the rate down, the LED flashes slower. This is a neat mod, but not just because it looks cool (it does look cool). This mod allows you to see the rate as well as hear it. When you have a gig you can set the rate without playing a sound. 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. The real gem of the CE-5 Chorus pedal is its stereo output. This way the pedal can be connected to two separate amps, which adds even more dimension to an already spatial chorus. It will have different depths depending on the space between the speakers. This unit can easily shift between subtle and extreme tones, and that is why it is so versatile. The filter control opens up a whole new scope of possibilities and lets you produce everything that your heart dictates. Oh, I almost forgot, CE-5 Chorus Ensemble will give you fantastic results when paired with other effects pedals. It can have a leading role in the chain or be an addition to others. Either way, it sounds amazing! ConclusionGoverning Law and Jurisdiction.

Roland may terminate any license to Free Software at any time in its sole discretion. You may not transfer Free Software to anyone else. Nothing in this EULA affects Your statutory rights if the laws of your state or country do not permit it to do so. There are 2 versions of the CE-5 where the second version is denoted CE-5A.

For a number of years, Boss have been one of the most popular pedal manufacturers in the world, and – aside from the highly controversial Metalzone – they have a great reputation with customers and critics alike. Over the years, they’ve been praised both for their durable casings and high-quality effects. In short, they’re a safe and reliable brand. What Makes the Boss CE-5 Distinct? Nominal Input Level -20 dBu Input Impedance 1 M ohm Nominal Output Level -20 dBu Output Impedance 1 k ohm Recommended Load Impedance 10 k ohms or greater Bypass Buffered bypass Controls HIGH FILTER/LOW FILTER knob I use the CE-5 mainly on my bass pedalboard. it gives that nice shimmer without taking over the sound. The reason this works as a bass chorus particularly well is the filter option to limit the effect to the highs (or the lows if you'd so prefer, but on a bass the lows become quite muddy). It makes those runs to the upper register of your bass shine and ring out nicely, all in all it can be very subtle - The Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble pedal is the ultimate stereo chorus pedal from Boss, with a wide frequency range and great control options.As a rule, analogue pedals do give a better overall sound. This is because they produce a continuous wave where digital pedals have a sample rate. On the other hand, the significant benefit of digital is that they tend to produce a more consistent sound.

Alkaline battery (9 V, 6LR61) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mm For many, the centrepiece of the Boss Chorus Ensemble line is the Boss CE-2 – an iconic pedal which, in some people’s eyes, set the bar for what a chorus pedal should be. That’s all well and good, but the CE-2 was discontinued in 1982, and although the CE-2w seeks to recreate that iconic sound, it’s far from the only option on the table. The main distinction between the Boss CE-5 and the CE-2w is that the CE-5 is digital whereas the CE-2w is analogue. AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately) Current Draw 55mA Expected battery life under continuous use Alkaline: Approx. 6.5 hoursBoss pedals are renowned for quality and value and the CE-5 has been an industry favourite for over 20 years. What that means is you get a great sounding pedal withadjustable settings to fit your style at an affordable price. What does a chorus pedal do?
