CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
The Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble is a versatile compact chorus pedal, popular for over 20 years, offering a range of chorus effects from subtle to extreme. With high- and low-cut filters and adjustable controls for Rate, Depth, and Effect Level, it allows guitarists and keyboardists to shape their sound from mild chorus to shimmering stereo effects, similar to the sound of multiple guitars. Built with the renowned Boss durability, the CE-5 provides reliability and a five-year warranty, making it a solid choice for both studio and stage. The CE-5's design is an evolution of the classic CE-2 Chorus Ensemble, but the CE-5 is digital while the CE-2W is an analogue pedal.
What BOSS say about the CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
The CE-5 inherits the rich, warm character of the iconic BOSS CE-1 Chorus Ensemble from 1976, expanding its legacy with modern versatility. Enhanced controls—including independent high-cut and low-cut filters—unlock an array of chorus effects, from classic to contemporary. Stereo outputs with separate wet and dry signals create an immersive sound with unique depth and spatial dimension, further setting the CE-5 apart from the crowd.
