DEMONSTRATION: Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble
SETTINGS: Clear Chorus sound with minimal sound interference
ADDITIONAL PEDALS: Line 6 DL4 + Boss RV-5
AMP: Mesa Boogie Tremoverb Head
CAB: Mesa Boogie Stereo Recto 2x12 with V30s
GUITAR: PRS SinglecutSONG: 'Street Spirit' by Radiohead

This is a demonstration of the Boss CE-5 Chorus pedal. For the purposes of the demo I am using the suggested sample settings as described in the Boss Users Manual (not necessarily settings I would use myself). You can download the manual from the Boss/Roland website, using the following link:

I use a Line 6 DL4 delay pedal set to 'Tube Echo' to produce a very short delay in conjunction with a Boss RV-5 set to a short 'Room Reverb' to thicken the sound. All pedals are connected to my amps Effects Loop via a Gig Rig Pro 14 and Gig Rig Humdinger.

I am using a GigRig Pro 14 switching system to control my amps and effects. More info on this unit can be found at:

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

[cool117]

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

[bigman1225]

Gee, I wonder if he likes Radiohead much.

[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

[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.

[809Metallica]

Oh, But Thanx for Replaying!

[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]

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

[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
