BOSS Ch-1 Stereo Super Chorus

Product Information

The CE-1 is the original Boss chorus. In fact, the company’s first ever pedal was the CE-1, which helped to establish their name and begun their journey to become arguably the most recognisable pedal brand today. Released in 1976, the analogue CE-1 circuit derived from the one found in the renowned Jazz Chorus amplifier, produced by Boss’ parent company Roland. Used appropriately, the chorus effect can make a bass sound lush, shimmering, metallic, or outright spooky. Can I use a guitar chorus pedal for a bass guitar? The CH-1 Chorus Ensemble covers a wide frequency range and features highand low-cut filters. This lets you create any kind of chorus effect from a mild, natural chorus to the clear and penetrating stereo chorus effect popular in contemporary music. Reliability 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 Two band filters allow you to control the bass and treble frequencies individually, so you can create a wide range of great sounding chorus effects.

There are plenty of options too, with analogue chorus pedals known for providing bold, old-school “vintage” tones while their digital counterparts tend to sound clearer and are more tweakable. There’s a raft of companies that build chorus effects too, with the big-hitters like Boss, Electro-Harmonix and Strymon remaining as popular as ever while the likes of TC Electronic, Tone City and Landlord FX make great affordable chorus pedals. The front panel has 3 pointer knobs for Depth, Speed, and HPF with a ‘Deep’ switch. Rate and Depth are the basic controls to find and fine-tune sounds. Alkaline battery (9 V, 6LR61) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mmThe build quality and chorus effects are far superior compared to similarly priced options. It may be overkill if you just need a cheap, simple chorus stomp.

Terms like LFO might be bamboozling at first glance, but think of it simply as the rate, a sine wave that you can hear giving motion to the guitar.One of the great things about this pedal is its great chorus circuitry that has a direct lineage from Boss’s first chorus pedal, the legendary Boss CE-1. For our money, the key areas you should look at when buying a chorus are the range of speed and depth, whether it's digital or not, and whether it's stereo.

These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use. Accessories Leaflet ("USING THE UNIT SAFELY,""IMPORTANT NOTES," and "Information")

Nowadays, most choruses are digital, which carries with it the usual tradeoff of increased flexibility at the expense of often more clinical tones. However, this isn't a given; not only are some digital effects rich and warm, but others emulate vintage units for a specific tone, like the Strymon Deco's tape machine modeling. The EHX Bass Clone is one of the best-selling bass chorus pedals, and not just because it’s modestly priced. Includes new sounds not available in the original pedals, including CE-2 stereo output and variable depth for CE-1 chorus sounds Many chorus pedals feature multiple controls, meaning that you can get a whole range of sounds out of them. However, there are also some early examples which have as little as 2 controls, or even just 1! But most of the time, you’ll see 3 key knobs on chorus pedals – 'level', 'rate' and 'depth'.
