Members andreas Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 3. Boss CE-2Huh? That pedal was discontinued in 1982... The t.c. SCF in 10th place is a small surprise - not because of what it is (chorus was a big deal back then), but because of its pricetag. /Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 80's sucked! :poke: We never talk about or use those effects now! The above 4 pedals still receive alot of discussion here, 20 years later. That's the 2000's for you!

Members ReckedTrek Posted March 29, 2008 Members Share Posted March 29, 2008 I double checked, and it does say ce-2. Must have been a misprint. I think Boss officially pulled the CE2 from their catalog in 1982, but I think they made them a few more years after that. I don't think this is the only pedal they've done it with, either. Now if they made them for an additional 6 more years, that does seem like a stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is the only pedal they've done it with, either. Now if they made them for an additional 6 more years, that does seem like a stretch. according to www.bossarea.com the CE-2 was being made/sold until 1990 (or maybe even later). "Roland says that they stopped marketing the CE-2 November 1982. The pedal was however still produced and sold at least [until] 1990. The label changed from black to green 1984. The CE-2 was produced in Japan up until 1988 when production moved to Taiwan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hiero Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 The CE-2 went into (and was derived from) the Roland Jazz Chorus amp. It also went into the BOSS ME-5 in '87/88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GREC Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah the 80s did suck. Everyone was going digital. Crappy digital rack systems to replace all your pedals.Early digital reverb -THE HORROR!I was one of those weirdos buying 60s gear in the 80s. It was DIRT CHEAP then.

Members Reaganomics! Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the emergence of FET switched pedals - Boss and DOD especially - put a lot of pedal companies out of business from a period of the mid-80s to mid-90s. EHX disappeared in like 83' or something and didn't show up again until the russian big muffs showed up. MXR disappeared until Dunlop resurrected the name. Danelectro, Line 6 etc.. didn't exist yet. Basically, Boss, DOD/Digitech and Ibanez were the only things that existed and ProCo was kind of a weird holdout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted February 2, 2013 Members Share Posted February 2, 2013 EHX went bust because union action brought the company to a standstill for weeks (maybe months?) and it wasn't able to recover. Not sure about MXR, but I think they were just out priced by the Japanese stuff that started to emerge, which as I understand was like the "Made in the PRC" of the day.

I agree. Most of my musician friends do not hang out here and even with the influx of semi boutique brands showing up on GC shelves Boss and DOD are the two brands most musicians associate pedals with.
