Special edition Waza Craft pedal delivers the ultimate BOSS tone experience
Standard mode provides a perfect reproduction of the legendary CE-2 sound
CE-1 mode features chorus and vibrato, authentically reproducing the two stereo sound modes in the world's first chorus pedal
Includes new sounds not available in the original pedals, including CE-2 stereo output and variable depth for CE-1 chorus sounds
Premium all-analog circuitry with bucket-brigade (BBD) delay line
THE WORLD'S FIRST CHORUS SOUNDS, REBORN WITH WAZA CRAFT Launched in 1976, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was not only the world's first chorus effect pedal, but also the very first BOSS pedal. Three years later, this inventive new sound was squeezed into the blue CE-2 Chorus, and chorus pedals have remained in the compact lineup ever since. Four decades on, the spacious modulated tone of the signature BOSS effect is still loved by musicians everywhere. In 2016, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS innovation, the original analog chorus sounds are now reborn with the Waza Craft CE-2W. The CE-2W's Standard mode faithfully recreates the classic CE-2 chorus sound, and adds an expansive new sound field with stereo output, which was unavailable in the mono CE-2. CE-1 mode fully reproduces the stereo chorus and vibrato sounds of the legendary CE-1, with the addition of variable chorus depth not available in the original pedal. To commemorate the birth of BOSS effects, the CE-2W is made exclusively in Japan, just as the original CE-1 and CE-2 were.
In 1975, Roland debuted the "Dimensional Space Chorus" effect in the famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier. Released the following year by Roland's newly formed BOSS division, the stereo CE-1 Chorus Ensemble made it possible for players to achieve the lush, spacious chorus and unique vibrato sounds of the Jazz Chorus with any amplifier setup. Housed in a robust metal chassis with an attached AC cord, the CE-1 contained the same analog chorus and vibrato circuitry from the original Jazz Chorus amp. While both of these effects sounded great in mono, the CE-1 offered up its real magic when used in stereo with two separate amps. This delivered an incredibly rich and immersive sound experience that was a true joy to play. The CE-2W provides an authentic reproduction of the CE-1's analog sounds, with additional chorus adjustment now possible with a variable depth control.

Bringing familiar elements of the original CE-2 like a two-knob layout for rate and depth and lush, analog chorus with a few new tricks like an added stereo mode and variable chorus depth, the Boss CE-2W Waza Craft Chorus takes the best bits of a classic pedal and dolls them up with modern boutique versatility. A flick of a switch also allows players to summon the circuit of the CE-1 chorus pedal of the late '70s. Part of the Waza Craft series reimagining the favorite pedals of the company from yesteryear, the CE-2W's dual mono/stereo nature makes it an attractive option for the discerning audiophile while the build and features make it a great choice for anyone who wants organic, room-filling chorus.
