Best Chorus Pedal Available July 16, 2008

This is the best chorus pedal I've ever heard. I've only had it for a day and I am completely blown away by it. I have used other chorus pedals in the past like the Danelectro Cool Cat and Electro-Harmonix Small Clone and both of these pedals don't hold a candle to the sound of this pedal.
What I enjoy best about this pedal, besides all of the possible tonal variety, is the fact that this chorus isn't one of those lush sounding pedals, which I guess is a personal preference, but for my own personal style I needed something that was subtle, but you could tell it was there, and the CE-5 delivers in every possible way. You probably could get a pretty lush sound out of it using the depth knob, but again, it's a something I have little interest in.
I am running the CE-5 in conjunction with a TC Electronic Vintage Compression pedal, a Line 6 DL4, and an original Alesis Microverb and I'm also using a stereo amplifier setup. I'm into the chamber/ambient/avant garde jazz thing, so it's great that the CE-5 can provide me with the chorus sound I have been looking for all of these years.
Give the CE-5 a chance. I think you will be surprised by the results. It's time to sell my other chorus pedals now. If something happened to this pedal, I would replace it in a heartbeat.

Of course the only other chorus pedal I have owned is the standard boss chorus but I have played many others. You can adjust everything involved from speed to depth etc. Boss has always made strong dependable pedals and this one is no different. Combine this with an MTR phase 90 and you can get some beautiful sounds. The only other chorus that might come close to comparing is the small stone.

Sorry, I couldn't resist the cheesy title. But seriously, if you're a player who prefers pedals, you could easily spend thousands on boutique models (I've done it) and still not do that much better than the reasonably priced and unbelievably tough Boss pedals. I've talked to tone purists who say that these steal tone, muddy up the signal, etc... Eh, maybe there's some validity to this argument. But unless you're looking for ultra-pure, uncolored tube tone heaven, you would do well to go with a Boss rig, in my opinion. Here are some basic reasons why:
1) Price is right.
2) The Level, Rate, Depth and Filter knobs really do a lot to shape the tone. You can do even more with the high and low cuts.
3) Stereo outs make for a really nice chorusing effect between amps.
4) The pedal design is very responsive to the foot when playing, jumping around, and stomping. Some of the plunger switches on other types of pedals can get stuck, break, or fail to engage/disengage when you step on them. The Boss switching is much smoother in my experience.
5) Tough. I jam with a guitar player who has used and abused his Boss DS-1 distortion pedal for over 15 years and it's still hanging in there. Meanwhile, I broke a $340 boutique chorus pedal plunger switch with a clumsy stomp one day. That simply would not happen with a Boss and that's why I replaced said boutique candy ass with this one (even though it was easy to fix the switch on the other one with some solder).
Long story short, the Boss line is money well spent.
