How To Choose The Right Boss Chorus Pedal For You - DC2w, CE2w, CE5 or CH1

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

I used to think Dimension C is very limited, having only buttons. But listening to the nature of it's modulation it's honestly hard to imagine it would be improved much by having knobs to tweak. Each of the options is just so beautifully crafted. It would be like ordering an exquisite dish from an expert chef, and asking to change ingredients for you. You'd probably just ruin the thing.

[@-Pol-]

As gear becomes more and more feature laden it's refreshing to limit ourselves to just a few pre-optimised options - none, some, more and most. Certainly helps avoid decision fatigue.

[@IanBoccio]

The DC-2 is also a great chorus for analog synths, where the subtle movement and shimmer adds life to the patch. A lot like the chorus on the Juno synths.

[@StratsRUs]

I had the original and it really worked well with those limitations, in stereo it came into its own. The Waza is a lot more feature laden.Beautiful.

[@ilanmoore6957]

I love my EHX small clone because all its got is an intensity switch and a rate knob, i love just being able to kick the rate knob with my boot and thats all i need to change. Wish i had a boss chorus though, only because of how beautiful the colors are.

[@mrbaiser4133]

A speed control would make it a lot more versatile. And with pots instead of switches you could get all those nuances in between the presets. And Boss would have sold a lot more copies - used prizes would be much lower today.

I've had the CH-1 Super Chorus on my board for about 25 years. It's a great pedal and I'm always able to dial in exactly what I need.

[@hailmaryrecordings8255]

It’s my favorite too. I used a Small Clone for years, but it broke before a show and the only chorus-pedal they had at the local shop was a Super Chorus. This was … 2006, and I’ve used it ever since. The Small Clone is repaired, but it never gets used.

Yeah but that version was analog. The version in this video is digital.

[@robb4340]

Take them both and put and DC-2w after the CE-5

[@TomMilleyMusic]

I used to have a CE-5 and there's a kind of hidden sound with it. If I remember correctly, you can turn the rate and depth down, turn up the blend, and then use the EQ to get this kind of thick but metallic and hollow kind of sound. Probably not for everyone or everything, but it was cool in it's own way.

[@zerosoma33]

Yea ive got one myself; it does a bit of a volume boost generally when engaged with the mix all the way up, which can be both a good or bad thing. And ur right, it has this hollow but silky/metallic sound to the boost.

Yeah there definitely is something great about the simplicity of the two knobs on the CE-2w, yet with the mode switch it's still pretty versatile too.

Dimension C is by far my favorite ; it is not a pure chorus , more like mix flanger+chorus+Leslie first speed ; so discret but in the same time so analog feel,so 3D hi-fi feel ,so good taste ,works perfect also on overdriven sounds

[@-Pol-]

I have the Behringer clone which sounds very close to the original Boss and allowed you to engage multiple buttons before the DC-2 waza (the original DC-2 wouldn't let you do this). My favourite setting is the one most overlooked - with the pedal on and no buttons engaged at all. The modulation is present but very subtle indeed; sounds great in stereo and adds lovely depth without being an in-yer-face chorus effect.

[@StratsRUs]

Yes, not really a chorus.

[@Rustreaver]

This is a really informative video! 🤘 I got the CE-5 specifically for the hi cut and low cut filters. Really helpful when using it with overdrive or distortion to tame both the high end and low end. It may not be the best sounding pedal of the 4 in clean tone, but I think it's the best one for higher gain sounds.

[@stephenburkett9193]

I think you do the ideal balance of showing and telling and I appreciate that you do direct comparisons between different pedals so often. You've got high quality videos and recordings that let the viewer hear how each pedal sounds, and then also give your opinion on how they feel and work best to help bridge the gap between what it's like to hear it and to have it. A lot of people want all tones and no talk, but I think that misses something. I'll put it this way: if I were to make KZbin gear videos, I think they would come out very similar to yours. Or at least that would be my goal.

[@ProfessorX931]

I'm a bass player and chorus is my most used effect. It's pretty much always on. So how did I choose between these pedals? Simple. I bought them all.

[@trance9158]

Pros and Cons of each used with bass?

[@ProfessorX931]

@@trance9158 I think cons with these chorus pedals on bass would be the DC-2W and CE-2W don't have Level knobs. This is not an issue to most people. It really isn't to me either but it is annoying. The DC-2W is great for recording though. I've always found the Dimension style choruses to be great for recording. The CH-1 is great but it's a super strong sound lol. Think Peter Steele. I find this pedal works best for fatting up synth sounds. The CE-2W is the chorus sound. Even on bass. It's just great. But, like Mike said. It's mid heavy. So if you are using a P Bass be aware lol. Finally, the CE-5. Not a very interesting sound compared to the rest. But it is my favorite because I find the most useful. Plus, having separate high and low filter knobs is so great. This pedal gives me what I wasn't quite getting from the CEB-3. I actually have the analog and digital versions of the CE-5 because I like it that much. Sorry for the wall of text and late response. Hope this finds you well!

Have you tried stacking choruses at all? Or just stacking modulation in general? I've been trying to avoid buying more pedals lol so I'm trying to approach the DC-2 vibe with a CH-1 and BF-3, but at this point I'm considering splurging for a singular pedal that can get what I'm after

[@JohnSmith-in1tt]

I’ve had my CE-2w for almost 2 years and love it. When I think of a lush, full, unapologetic chorus, it has the sound that comes to mind. Plus in the third mode, with rate at about noon and depth at about 1 o’clock it does a pretty good Leslie sort of sound.

[@ChrisJones-ht9zn]

CE-2W is absolutely superb. If I had the money I would own the entire waza line. The quality, sound and additional features are worth paying those prices imo.

[@-Pol-]

In these times of Option Overload the DC-2 is the perfect pedal for a compulsive knob tweaker like myself. My Behringer clone of it is the first thing I grab whenever I just need "some chorus"; I like that it's "fire and forget" and just sounds great! Such a simple choice: subtle chorus; some chorus; Chorus; More Chorus! Now just leave it alone and forget about it - it's surprisingly liberating! While I value the versatility of the CH-1 I think the CE-2w would be my next chorus purchase. I'm too easily diverted by all the extra controls of the others.

[@Yountica]

I'm playing in a 4-piece cover band on a chimey Vox AC30. I'm looking for a chorus pedal to add some lushness for dancy pop songs (eg. Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus), but a lot of the chorus pedals I've tried are too bright/mid-high end for my chimey amp. We have no keyboardist, so I'm playing lush chords or rhythmic funk accents. That CH1 sounds a little darker and like it could sit back a little more in the mix.

[@MichaelBanfieldGuitar]

Yeah, CH-1 and CE-5 both have more tone and EQ options than the others, so yes, I'd expect they'd be your best bet.

[@alexmurphy5289]

[@ryanmurphyart]

Best comparison of those four Chorus pedals that I've seen! I have the CE-2W and love it, but I've always wanted to try the Dimension DC-2W. It's just so expensive in Canada at $369.99 plus tax, but it's sounds magical.

[@MichaelBanfieldGuitar]

Hey thanks. Yeah the DC-2w is cool. I didn't find it the most versatile but I think it bridges the gap nicely between chorus and phaser and has a particularly nice sound when running in stereo. Thanks for commenting!

[@jacobbrown1690]

Dc2w has the best stereo separation of any pedal i ever had. Thats also what its known for. Hook up two amps to it and you will finally get. If you are in canada just keep asking your sales person at long and mcquade to look for a used dc2w on the computer system

[@lidbass]

A mate of mine had the original Dimension C but it really comes into it’s own when you use it in stereo. Not always a possibility, I know, but we did some recording together going straight into the desk, and the sounds are just unbelievably gorgeous. Always wanted one, never had enough money to get one, the originals go for silly money now.

I owned all of these pedals, but sold them since I started using a Line6 HX Effects. It can sound like any of them, and so much more. Without the hiss, but with presets. I liked to build DIY pedals, but today, the digital multi fx are just better. I only kept some overdrives and fuzzes.

The Dimension C is an instant time machine to the 80's!! When you combine the modes, it gets a slight flanger effect to my ears. The Super chorus was my first chorus pedal.

I've got the DC5 and the DC-2W and had the CE-2W for a few months but couldn't get it to do the really deep watery lush sounds that the others (the CE5 in particular) can do really well. I haven't messed with the DC-2W in months as I feel like the Eventide Tricerachorus does everything the Dimension does but better and sounds absolutely insane when run stereo. Having presets and midi built into the pedal is also really cool. My CE5 has been with me since the mid 90's ever since reading a Guitar World interview with Adam Jones where he said that was his favorite chorus. I also got a Dunlop 535Q the same year I got my CE5 also because Jones preferred that at the time (Aenema album era) But yeah, if you guys are looking for a nice lush and deep chorus but something with more flexibility than these Boss units, check the TriceraChorus.

Nice video - I have the analog CH-1 from the 90'ies, very powerful compared to nowadays its digital replica , I think is the most versatile due to the controls and somehow incorporates all the other choruses - Satriani used a CH-1 for years and it gets you those tones from "Flying in a blue dream" album - beyond that, the analog CH-1 seems to me like the 80' ies essence chorus .
