For sale is a highly original and authentic early-production Boss CE-2 Chorus, made in Japan circa 1980, one of the most iconic analog chorus pedals ever produced.

This is the real deal from the golden era of Boss engineering, when build quality, component selection, and analog tone were at their absolute peak.

Condition

This unit is in excellent vintage condition and has been extremely well cared for over the decades. It functions exactly as it should with:

• All controls operating correctly
• Pots and jacks cleaned and noise-free
• Fully tested and 100% functional

Cosmetically, it presents beautifully for its age with only light signs of honest use. A true survivor, not a beat-up studio relic.

Tone & Character

The CE-2 is legendary for its warm, lush, and dimensional analog chorus, offering a smooth modulation that never feels harsh or artificial. It delivers that unmistakable 80s shimmer that sits perfectly in both clean and driven tones.

This is the same sonic DNA that helped define countless recordings from the late 70s and 80s.

Legacy

The Boss CE-2 is part of the original Boss compact pedal lineup that set the standard for durability and tone. These early Japanese-made units are widely regarded as the most desirable, built during a time when Boss pedals were engineered for touring professionals and studio musicians alike.

Used by countless influential guitarists of the era, the CE-2 helped shape the chorus sound of artists ranging from studio legends to arena rock icons.

Beyond Guitar

While iconic on guitar, the CE-2 also shines on synths, keys, and drum machines. It’s especially popular in modern synthwave, ambient, and retro electronic production, where its rich analog movement adds instant depth and width.
