Review Demo - Boss CE-2w Chorus Waza Craft

Read the review: www.premierguit...
Once upon a time, I was an anti-chorus reactionary. Then one day a very trusted engineer suggested an original Boss CE-2 on a 12-string track I was recording. I scoffed. I protested. In the end, I relented. Because just a touch of magic from that little blue Boss really did add a bit of extra kinetic energy to a tone already brimming with harmonics and color.
I was impressed. And if I didn’t become a full-bore convert, I began to tinker with the effect a lot more often-very subtly, usually. But I learned to love the possibilities of faux Leslie and even the compositional value of Johnny Marr’s and Peter Buck’s classic ’80s textures. (They almost beckon you down the path toward chord arpeggio melodies.)
Boss’ new CE-2W, a reimagining of the original CE-2, lacks none of the magic that made the original so surprisingly and simply effective. Yet it adds additional voices that expand it’s utility on stage and in the studio.
The Japan-built CE-2W (previous Waza pedals are all Taiwan-built) wears the same light blue paint job that marked its antecedents. The additional features on the Waza version make the pedal busier looking than the original CE-2, which, in its minimalist, 2-knob guise, is the essence of Boss design elegance. Aesthetics aside, the new functionality is all upside.
