Is the original, Made in Japan (MIJ) Boss CE-2 still the greatest chorus pedal of all time, or has modern technology finally overtaken it?
In this video, we dive deep into the legendary 1980s bucket-brigade (BBD) circuit. We test its iconic warm analog modulation, compare its distinct sonic footprint, and find out if it actually deserves its legendary status in 2026. Whether you are chasing classic 80s new wave tones or pristine clean textures, the CE-2 is the blueprint.
Is it worth the vintage price tag, or should you just buy a modern Waza Craft CE-2W? Let's find out.
