Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble Demonstration (Part One): Clear Chorus - 'Street Spirit' by Radiohead

[joeypaint]

What other songs besides Street Spirit would you say use chorus? I was gifted a EHX Poly Chorus but I feel like I'm leaving it out of songs, ideas?

[craigmcarthur1]

I dont even think there is chorus on the original recording of Street Spirit it was just the first song that popped into my head when I recorded this demo. There will be literally hundreds of songs with chorus,particulaly in the 80's were post studio effects became popular. Listen to The Police, lots of chorus use there.  Alot of chorus use will be subtle. Some Guns and Roses tracks have some chorus on the cleans

[100grapes]

Oh wow! Love this song!! 

[Helicon2112]

Actually it sounds identical to the studio version before you kicked in the chorus ensemble. Beautiful playing. If I could find someone in the states who could playing Radiohead this good and had an ear for it the way you do, I'd start a Radiohead tribute band in a second.

Nice sound

What are the settings?

Do you heard a huge difference between prs and your custom epiphone?

Will you have the same clip sound with a epiphone?

thx

[craigmcarthur1]

Read the video description. The settings can be found in the Boss User manual for the CE-5, I added a link in the user manual.

Yup PRS sound better than the epiphone in my opinion.

I dont have a clip with the Epiphone using the same settings

[809Metallica]

Nice you a got a Real guitar, cause you have alot of epiphones!!!

[craigmcarthur1]

I have to defend the epiphones. Ive choosen carefully the built quality is decent. Then spend a little upgrading the electronics and pickups and they r surprisingly decent guitars. I use them as alternative tuning and backup guitars. The PRS is very nice to play. By far my favourite guitar

[drakeaengland]

lmfao he has like 5 Real guitars lol

[ravendarque72]

Forget it...I read your comments about the CE5 on another one of your gear reviews...no worries... :-)

[craigmcarthur1]

Hey,  yeh I am not a massive fan of the CE-5, its abit digital and sterile sounding and colours your tone just a little to much. There are better pedals out there. I currently use my TC Electronics Nova Modulator for most chorus tones

[809Metallica]

Hey Can i get that Zakk Wylde high Octave booster tone with this CE-5? What's Better the CE-5 or the MXR Stereo Chorus?

[809Metallica]

or the EHX Small Clone?

[craigmcarthur1]

I would probably say no you cant.

I would have the MXR over the CE-5, I;m not a huge fan of the ce-5

[809Metallica]

And what about the EHX Small Clone? better than the MXR?

[craigmcarthur1]

Not sure to be honest, I havent really used a Small Clone for more than a few minutes in my local guitar store, so wouldnt be fair to comment on it. Sorry

[809Metallica]

Oh, But Thanx for Replaying!

[ravendarque72]

Great demo as usual...hope all is well with you and the band... A question...do you prefer the CE5 chorus? If yes, why? Is it the chorus over all other choruses??

Be well...

[bigman1225]

Gee, I wonder if he likes Radiohead much.

[yorkism]

Radiohead!!!!

Don't love the CE that much tho but you are great. Dig your other pedals and reviews.

[Wolfman898]

I LOVE THAT PEDAL!!! I usually combine it with "Hot Rod" For paul Gilbert type sounds, and with "Blues Driver" For Clapton type sounds. That thing is the shit.

[dimebagjosh2007]

I have that Floyd poster in the back.

[spikelive]

grandissimo!awesome as always!

ciao cheers

ps street spirit awesome song by radiohead!

[GTRrocker666]

That is my fav pedal in my collection. Great depth.

[skaterkid061095]

WTF IS UP WITH THE LP ON THE LEFT???

[craigmcarthur1]

Nothing, its a 7 string Les Paul. Why, what do u think is worng with it?

[skaterkid061095]

ITS A RELI WEIRD SHAPE

[craigmcarthur1]

Its not, its exactly the same shape as the 3 hanging next to it, only difference is the neck. Its just the perspective of the camera and the shadow behind the guitar that makes it look that way.

[skaterkid061095]

it looks realy weird from the camera angle looks like you have cut the bottom off

[craigmcarthur1]

Na afraid not. There is a computer monitor sitting in front of it.

[skaterkid061095]
