Description:
The 1982 Boss CE-2 is a legendary analog chorus pedal known for its warm, lush, and "watery" modulation. Produced in Japan, this specific era features the "Black Label" and is highly sought after by collectors for its iconic Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) circuitry.
- Sound Profile: Unlike its predecessor (the CE-1), the CE-2 was specifically tuned for electric guitar, featuring a mid-range boost that helps the effect cut through a mix. It provides a subtle, shimmery modulation that sounds equally musical with clean or overdriven tones.
- Controls: It features a simple, user-friendly two-knob interface:
- Rate: Adjusts the speed of the chorus modulation.
- Depth: Controls the intensity and sweep range of the effect.
- Key Components: The 1982 model typically utilizes the MN3007 BBD chip and MN3101 clock driver, which are credited for the pedal's high headroom and low-noise analog warmth.
