BOSS MIJ CE-3 Stereo Chorus Effects Pedal Demo

[GuitarMonkey5180]

I have this pedal. its great overall

[666thrashmaster]

Is this pedal good for lead playing

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

I currently have another Japan CE-3 on eBay along with heaps of other gear check it out at the link in description

[azwel]

only prob with this pedal, is I can never see the led! I may have to remove that middle knob black part... I like the pedal a lot. or i can move it all the way to the right side of my board so I can get an angle view.

[Laclandestinidad]

I love this chorus, I have one green label, but has a big mistake in design, if I don't stand up over him, is impossible to see the light, the middle knob is in awful position. Still is a excelent chorus.

[stratman7000]

@Laclandestinidad I have one and I love it.... try to change the LED to a BRIGHTASS white...you will never miss it. :D

[marbleheadband]

no bass shrill high end? use a fuckin' eq you moron

[greysword1908]

what song do you play at 1:21? And also is this pedal worth buying thank you :) !

[destChaos]

@greysword1908 that's Nirvana - come as you are.

[frenzexperiment]

have you ever tried ibanez bc9 chorus? if yes do you think the boss one is less subtle?

great demo!

[Kozmo260]

Love this pedal! It's on a friends board I used it at a couple open jams now. Really like it!

[Hankandthetanktops]

2:54 under the milky way tonight

[petejt]

Try running it in stereo to two amps, in Mode 2. You get the spacey wet chorus sound but the bass is more intact, thus it's warmer and not so icy-sounding. Plus works better with dirt that way.

[footudotnet]

is this pedal a 9v or 12v ?? Because i've read both..... :(

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@footudotnet The old ones are 12v aca adaptor but if used in a daisy chain it defeats that voltage drop in the pedal and works off 9v and 9v batteries work great to

[footudotnet]

@JimijaymesGuitarist thanks for the answer !! I've just bought one today !!!

[Jungleboy867]

@footudotnet all boss compact pedals are 9v

[Cricchio427]

I have the same pedal: 1981 made in Japan. Great pedal!

[PanduGus]

have you ever use "output B" ???

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@PanduGus in stereo no I haven't as of yet but in mono I have tried it and it doesn't really sound very different in mode 1 but in mode 2 it is only wet signal so can get some strange vibrato

[melindagreenjeans]

Yep, no bass, shrill high end, just like I remember them being. 1:20 PMSL just such a shitty chorus pedal and that song really shows so clearly how bad they are.

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@melindagreenjeans

Its funny that you say that cos while they're are better chorus sound, everything I've tried sucks in comparison (Guyatone MC3, BOSS CH-1, Ibanez CF7)

[giantrobot9000]

@JimijaymesGuitarist

Don't even listen to that fool. Just look at their profile.......just some frustrated hack who leaves negative comments on people's clips. This is a good pedal, especially for the money. There might be more "lush" or expansive choruses out there, but this one is totally usable and perfect for '80s music.

[MrOzgooner]

@melindagreenjeans

Its an 80's chorus pedal with lots of colour and definition unlike many on the market that have no depth or character at all.. You want more bass then u have to turn up the bass on your amp or EQ

[TheSongsparrow]

It's stereo, but you are demoing it mono. Lame

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@TheSongsparrow I'd be surprised to see many true stereo demos on utube by amatuers. Thats two exact amps two mics at least then recording into seperate channels a costly set up for the sake of a few demo's but maybe I'll do one with some amp sims later on as that is much more manageable

[race1717]

The Chorus gives off tthe kind of sound they used in the 80s or somewhere around.

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@race1717 Yeh it was originally released in 84 I think and is similar sounding to the CE-2 which was 81 and is used on tons of 80's recordings

[race1717]

@JimijaymesGuitarist It discontinued, huh?

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@race1717 Yeh the one in the video is an 82 version but I think they stopped making them in 1992 or around there and they brought the CH-1 in to replace it.

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@JimijaymesGuitarist Sorry 82 it was brought in and CE-2 was was made from 1979 onwards

[kurdt47clon]

what other possibilities are there for powering this pedal besides the daisy chain? and what differences has it with respect to moderns choruses, i mean about tone? thank you

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

@kurdt47clon There are a few Brick style power supplies (be careful with the Dunlop DC Brick as the outputs aren't isolated but others like PPII and the BBE Supa Charger are) that over 12v outputs and you can use these or you can use batteries. As it is analog batteries don't run out too quickly.

[MikhailAaron]

Oh nice man! Buy it immediately!

Thank you for video

[guitar4life9]

what's the difference between mode 1 and 2.

[luit13]

With the mode knob you can switch between stereo and mono
