Boss CE5 Chorus Ensemble

[PEMAMETAL]

Hey man, let me ask You a question, I have a boss CE-5 too and I've always used only one output of this pedal (mono) with the volume at 12 hours, these days I tried to use it in stereo, but I realized that in stereo if the volume is at 5, when I turn it on, it looses gain (distorted) or volume (clean), so the volume knob has to be at 3 hours to avoid this. Is your pedal like that too? I found it strange!

[grupteori]

this song is same Zombie :D

[christoofart]

Thanks for this demo ESPECIALLY due to the fact that you recorded it in STEREO.

Since most demos oro stereo pedals on here aren't.

[ROBBEMALL666]

One question, how do you connect it using both outputs, where do they go?? Thanks for your help

[notanother]

@ROBBEMALL666 It depends what your connecting too, the output will need to be stereo so if your connecting to an amp you will need either two mono amps (one for left and one for right) or a stereo amp. Then you connect output A of the pedal to the left channel and output B to the right channel. Hope this helps

[serphent7]

It's very much similar to BOSS's other chorus pedals...

[fattirevsbud]

whats best this one or the Boss super chorus

[mikeyfatstrings]

all three demos you had either the rate or the depth turned way up. i wanted to hear some subtle chorus!

[TheGuitarMartin]

Do you think boss CE-5 is better than CE-2

[ElGbayRGX]

Nice vid you have a Squier like me =) !!!!!

[avengedguitarfreak]

is this true bypass?

[notanother]

@avengedguitarfreak no i dont think that it is true bypass

[yobhsiFehT]

@avengedguitarfreak

No Boss pedals are. Sometimes it can be good to have a buffered pedal in your chain, tho, so don't assume that since it's FET it must be crap;):)

[nirvousfreek]

Is this a good watery pedal?

[eendereetje]

@nirvousfreek you bet! i use it all the time live, can't rock without it~!

[Quepedoporquenoentra]

Kinda Robin Guthrie's guitar @ Cocteau Twins!

Great!

I think the best BOSS pedals are: D-D7 Digital Delay, Chromatic Tuner, and maybe Chrous Ensamble CE-5. Indeed, as last one: Digital Reverb. The other kind of Mod and OD/Dist i rather MXR and Electro-Harmonix. Z.Vex in some mad FX's, and in wha's sound Dunlop Cry Baby or Real McCoy.

My opinion...

Greetings.

@Quepedoporquenoentra

Do you think the CE-5 Chorus is better than the Boss CH-1 Super Chorus ?

Why ?

[notanother]

im not sure i havent tried the CH-1 apparently the CH-1 effects an wider frequency range and the CE-5 effects lower frequecies.

theres a good site called bossarea that has loads of info about boss pedals see what you can find on there

[Cyberbob182]

@notanother ok thanks a lot for the site !!

[TheSAJ11]

@Cyberbob182 yes 10 thousand times , why .. buy both and hear why for yourself.

[shoekstra1419]

can you get psychadelic rock tones do you think with this?

[OnlyByFishStandards]

yeah listen to "the woods of suicide" by buckethead, there's a brake in the beginning where he has a vibrato piece

[Gomagomes]

this pedal is great, i have one for 6 years and it's very versatile =)

[ruffles272]

chorus pedals aren't really as necassary as say: an overdrive or a compressor. or definitely a delay.

[revin42]

what did you play during this?

[VertSpike]

This pedal is a pretty good chorus pedal, depending on your style though, it might not be necessary. I use these pedals:

DD3 Digital Delay

OD3 Overdrive

NS-2 Noise Supressor

CS-3 Compressor

CE-2 Chorus

RC20 XL Loopstation

I reccomend the delay, the compressor, and the noise surpressor. They come extremely useful. Lot's of boss's distortions/od's have alot of noise on them, the NS-2 is awesome for it. The compressor gives my tone a nice poppy sound

[samnninty]

do you think i should look into buying the ch-1 or the ce-5

i mostly will use chorus for the smiths

[TheSAJ11]

@samnninty CE-5 all the way , CH-1 sucks .

[invictorium]

@VertSpike disagree. Boss compressor sucks tone and has an annoying buzz most of the time

[jsoi03]

nice demo, sounds like the chorus that i want ;)

had 3 choruses and still wanting to have another

[vareela94]

why does it has 2 output lines?

[cuerpoeperra]

Stereo

[jesse1291]

whats the difference between this and the super chourus

[notanother]

hi, i havnt personally used the super chorus however looking at the boss website it seems that the only difference between the two is the tone controls. the super chorus has a simple low-hi tone control whereas the CE-5 has both high and low pass filters. If you want a simple chorus then the super chorus might be better however the CE-5 allows more control over the tone

[madziontist]

nice video in video

[atticus155]

Why are there 2 outputs jacks, I am a beginner and I am planning on by this, and I was also wondering why my Boss digital delay 3 had 2 output jacks

[notanother]

hi most guitar amps are mono, as are many effects the ce5 and the boss dd3 are stereo. therefore output two signals (left and right) from jack sockets A and B. If you are using it in mono just use one output, boss suggest output A.

hope this helps

[arg13415]

You can also use two amplifiers if you want to get some other neat effects

[thisistheslam]

To be very clear, the 2 output jacks are for the left channel and right channel. While you don't NEED to use them, this pedal is a stereo pedal and it will open up it's sound a lot more using two channels of audio. Each channel will be a little different from the other, creating a wider and more unique effect. A lot of professional players run stereo cause it sound absolutely awesome. You can run Mono (usually left output or output A on Boss) and still get a good sound though.

[davo171]

I will sometimes plug my amp into the second output only, it gives a sickly detuned sound. Kinda reminds me of the modualation on the old phonograph recordings. Ive got the older analog version.

[slayerxv]

where the 2 out puts are is that where i would plug in 2 amps?

[notanother]

yeah if you want it in stereo plug in two amps, left will come out of one and right will come out of the other. ive done it once and it sounds pretty cool...

[slayerxv]

cool thanx.i needed to no bc i got a little zakk wylde orginal rig.liek the hendrix wah boss ce 5 overdrive and i hav 2 marshall microstacks.and i didnt wanna try pluggin it in so it wouldnt explode or sumthing lol

[notanother]

hmm should be ok. you need to have two heads, not just one head and two speakers if you plug straight into a speaker i dont think it will work hope that helps

[slayerxv]

oh i no.i hav 2 complete stacks.2 heads and 4 cabinets so its 2 full stacks

[davo171]

I just got one, I plan to use it with the high cut for electric guitar, and with highs flat in stereo for my acoustic.

[capodastaro]

i had this pedal for about 2 days, my MXR stereo chorus died on me so i got this and i hated it, i like the CH-1 super chorus better in my opinion

[nissanskyline16]

why dont you go for the best go old style boss ce-1 or go for the cheaper copy the retro sonic stereo chorus i have one they sound alot better

[JODQ11]

sweet

im getting one tomorrow ;D

[alterbridge111]

this song is relaxing what is it!?

[Hasjhus]

What is output B for? Or where does it go?

[notanother]

hey

the CE5 has stereo outputs, so output A is the left and output B is right this demo is in mono as youtube only supports mono, I provided a link in the video description this should take you to a stereo version of the video!

[charlitunaman2002]

I'm fairly new to this. I know it will split into two amps. Does it pan back and forth between the two? And if so, have you tried it and what is your opinion? Thanks!

[rikimarufly]

nice demo

[mario68079]

wtf...weird demo... the first 28 seconds are with the pedal off and then it is with the pedal on?

[notanother]

yep i added the effect clean so that you can compare the chorus effect and clean signals... i thought it might be useful

[briceX]

it is useful. thank you
