Casey Butt Yeah. Ended up selling mine. Got the Roland CE1 and believe it or not... MXR M234 analog chorus. I've had many chorus pedals and that MXR is impressive! Only $60!
I bought one of these back in the late '80s /early '90s. Had it until about 12 years ago, when I sold it for quite a lot of money. Missed it. Bought a 2nd hand one of these on Ebay for £20 a few months ago. Nice to have it back.
I have had this pedal for over 20 years. It’s amazing for its cost at the time. The sustain is top notch. And the suppressor is perfect in my view. The Combo of the compressor and the overdrive is pretty satisfying You’d get the most crunch with the drive at about 80% comp full.
If you connect a dummy patch lead into the stereo out, leaving the mono out connected as per normal, the chorus becomes a wicked vibrato pedal full of seasick goodness.
oldie but goldie. I've had BE-5 and I've sold it to buy something else. I missed BE-5 a lot.... But later I bought BE-5M, similar, but slighty upgraded version with programmable presets and aditional volume control :) Veeeery nice sounding very smart toy :)
I still have two BE-5M. The chorus stopped working on one of them, but the good thing about these pedals is that even if one effect gets defective, you can still use the rest. The delay is great!

I have one of these I bought in about 98 for £15 from a guy in a local band. Still works. It's still part of my set up and the delay is ridiculous.
Cs-3, Od-2, Dd-3, Ns-2(one knob) and CE-2 in one box. It’s amazing

Gotta try that...thanks Daniel Ollis
Post it if you do :D
I forgot I owned one of these in ‘91. And “upgraded” to a Digitech RP-1 . Oops.

I really like this unit. Glad you took the time to do a video of this pedal. Great video. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Lyon Hansen
you guys ever put your hands on the Ibanez UE-400 rack unit from back then? glorious thing.
David not yet...hopefully the guys from Mojo Stompboxes will send us one sometime
I dunno if they have any. They have some curious stuff though. Check the the old Fender Phaser [the big knob one] and the Pearl.
God....I love this one ! Even though I am Not a multi effects guy. Thanks for the demo !
what about the tone em purism? is the same have this and the pedals separate? thanks :)
Sounded pretty great I thought. Cheers guys!
Thanks Glistening Kabana
Can this be used for bass?
Sure
that's exactly my rig, but the day I will get I will automatically find to other efx on the street and would be like, fuck, how I set the chain now
Does this have a reverb built in?
I don’t think it does...this was a few years ago so I’m not 100% sure...but from memory it doesn’t
Delay chorus overdrive compressor.
Wow I had a 2nd hand one of these in about 93.
I bought one of these from swap meet. Used it for a year and flipped it
whats that blue guitar? it looks rad.
Its a Larrivee RS2 with P90s
I like watching this one once in a while. Just gotta do me-5 through me-10 next!
That sounds like it could be fun...
The SuperFunAwesomeHappyTime Pedal Show! It really would be
