Boss CE-2W Waza Craft Chorus Pedal

Boss CE-2W Waza Craft Chorus Pedal: 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.

Celebrating 40 Years of BOSS Innovation

In 2016, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of BOSS innovation, the original analog chorus sounds were 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. This pedal is made exclusively in Japan, just as the original CE-1 and CE-2 were.

Premium All-Analog Circuitry

The CE-2W Waza Craft pedal delivers the ultimate BOSS tone experience with its premium all-analog circuitry featuring a bucket-brigade (BBD) delay line. The pedal includes new sounds not available in the original pedals, such as the CE-2 stereo output and variable depth for CE-1 chorus sounds. The Rate and Depth knobs provide fine sound adjustment in both pedal modes, ensuring that you can achieve the perfect chorus or vibrato effect for any musical context.

Proudly Made in Japan

The CE-1 and CE-2 represent the early days of BOSS's longstanding dedication to innovation and quality, which remains stronger than ever at four decades and counting. Bringing together cutting-edge technology, savvy craftsmanship, and a devotion to helping musicians create great music, these landmark pedals embodied the spiritual mission for every BOSS product since. For this memorable 40th anniversary, the Waza Craft CE-2W Chorus is produced in Japan just like the original pedals, honoring the long, rich heritage of BOSS effects.
