Members petejt Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 The Boss CE-1 is a pedal form of the chorus/vibrato circuit inside the Roland Jazz Chorus-120 amp. Would it be redundant to run the CE-1 in the effects loop of the Jazz Chorus, with both choruses turned on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jet Bycraft Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 If I had a CE-1 and a Jazz Chorus amp I would try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 If the original Boss CE-1 (with BBD chips, not digital simulations) was available in music shops, I'd get one straightaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted April 29, 2008 Author Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 80's:idea:But they both incorporate guitar effects that were invented in the 1970s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members spentron Posted April 29, 2008 Members Share Posted April 29, 2008 The only problem with extreme settings is that they are, well, extreme ... Personally I think the JC-120's chorus itself is excessive (as soon as you click it on the sound becomes hollow), and I might want a chorus with a mix control for when I want less. I'm also not sure what the point of a loop is on a JC. (BTW, people, stop buying crappy old Boss effects, how do you expect someone like me to buy up old cheapies and modify them into something useful if you keep paying full price on ebay?)

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted May 3, 2008 Members Share Posted May 3, 2008 Funny thing is, I have the best sounding chorus EVER in my amp, and I really cant stand chorus. This one is good. But I have NO use for it. Flange and phase get me the watery sounds I need. We should start the JC worship club. For Jazz Chorus owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members petejt Posted May 6, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 6, 2008 I don't understand it, but my own JC-120's chorus just doesn't seem as shimmery & lush like other JC-120 combos I hear played on YouTube. I hope nothing is wrong with my amp!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echodeluxe Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 jc-120!!!! the ce-1's circuit is not identical to the jc120's chorus/vibrato circuit. DO IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amp_surgeon Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 jc-120!!!! the ce-1's circuit is not identical to the jc120's chorus/vibrato circuit. DO IT. That's right, at least for the 1976 (?) JC-120 we've got. There are lot's of similarities, though. They both use the same BBD chip. They also both have this somewhat bizarre 4 transistor flip-flop circuit that converts the triangle wave from the rate oscillator into a square wave to clock the BBD chip.So how close are they? I DON'T KNOW! My CE-1 is still broke (don't have time to work on it), and the JC-120 still needs to be reconed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members echodeluxe Posted May 23, 2008 Members Share Posted May 23, 2008 My CE-1 is still broke (don't have time to work on it), and the JC-120 still needs to be reconed. i am bringing mine to the shop today so we can start to science it out if you want. i have a feeling it might be something in the power supply, since it wont even power up.

Members petejt Posted January 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2009 I still want to try this. At the moment I'm loving it running the Deluxe Electric Mistress in front of the Jazz Chorus , as well as my H2O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
