CE-2 Vibro/Chorus Mod

The 2nd unit looks like the 1st. There is no changes to the outside I could see except I sent him a better looking CE 2 pedal. I use it with a '62 Strat reissue and a Tele Plus w/lace sensor p/u's and sometimes a Les Paul thru a Soldano SLO w/Boogie EV12L loaded 2x12 cab. My latest purchase was a used JCM 800 2210 Marshall head and this pedal sounds even better thru it as most things do. I also use a 2ch The Twin and this CE 2 chorus sounds sweet and clean thru it. As mentioned before I try hard to get a David Gilmour/ Warren Haynes sound. Since the two sounds are different in every way I use 2 separate setups. The chorus side of the mod is the normal Boss CE 2 low sweet chorus as usual but the modded Vintage Vibro side is a nice to wild vibro depending on how far you go on the speed knob. The sound quality has jumped up quit a bit from the first unit. Tim is on to something here, trust me!

It is basically a Boss pedal with mods throughout. If there is a problem I am sure Tim would fix it no questions asked. I do gig with another unit, remember this is the 2nd unit I have bought from the Doc. GOOD LUCK DOC!

This is the 2nd unit I have bought from Tim. The first one was late last year I believe. Since I have 2 different setups I always try to pickup 2 pedals of each model so not to have to rearrange the setups everytime I want to add or change something. The reason I am reviewing the 2nd unit is Tim changed the mod a bit. He told me he used a few upgraded parts due to the fact he found some vintage parts that were not available in the 1st unit. It sounds great. It is cleaner than the 1st and the speed of the Vibro is faster and a bit chunkier. I think it's that it has a bit more bottom end than the 1st unit. Remember it's a Boss CE 2, 2 knobs and a toggle, very simple unit to operate. Boss compact pedals in my opinion are the best money can buy. Some can be modified to make better but a bad sounding pedals will only sound bad if it's modified so to modify a good sounding pedal makes sense and Tim knows what he is doing. (checkout his website www.pedaldoctor.com) You will be glad you did. He has several pedals to mod and he builds several of his own designs and is working on a few new pedals as we speak!

I play classic rock and blues. I have played everything from INXS to Led Zep and all in between.I write and record my own music now. I have been playing all my life since I was 12 yrs old and I am 47 now so Rock is my life and I have played for a living but I retired from gigging a few years back. Now it's recording only! This pedal and other CE 2's are the only analog chorus pedals I use. I do use a few digital chorus pedals but they are mainly for Distortion add ons like the Boss MZ 2 tone. But the CE 2 vibro/chorus is one fine unit.
