Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 So Ive been told that my amp's (Roland Jazz Chorus) chorus has the CE-1 circuit in it, or at least something very similar. I love the way it sounds, but I have a problem with onboard efx.....I dont want chorus at the end of my signal. So....Im wondering what the closest thing to a CE-1 is. Ive heard that the CE-2 and CE-3 are both very good, but do they get anywhere near the CE-1? Id prefer the CE-3 because of stereo. Under $75 used. Really. Please dont tempt me with stuff that is $350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EvilSoup Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Retrosonic chorus is said to be based off of the CE1. I don't know, buy a Small Clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 The RetroSonic Chorus is a dead on clone of the CE1. None of the other boss choruses really come close but if you must play it cheap, get a CE5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yeah. Cant spring for the Retro. CE-5 it is. Seems like they are fairly easy to resell too.

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 After looking at the bossarea.com page for the CE-5, it seems like there are two versions. One uses the BBD chip, and the other does not. Anyone know which label (color) is the one with this chip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keith SIO Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 The CE-3 IMHO is not comparable to the CE-2 at all. The CE-2 is a much better sounding subtle chorus. The CE-3 is a little more digital sounding, and you can't tweak the trim or else it sounds worse. The CE-2 is a little tweakable. Having said this. I would love to own the CE-3 and CE-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Maybe I can take the chorus circuit out of my amp and rehouse it into a pedal enclosure........ .......haha. Right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I could be done Im sure. If you had the schematic Im sure its just wired in there in a little loop. See if you can get a schematic and take it to a tech. They might be able to tell you how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members freeridstylee Posted September 10, 2007 Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 DON'T buy a ce-5. I had the bbd version, doesn't hold a candle to the jc120. Honestly, nothing even comes close. The ce-5 is way more subtle and thin sounding. I've used the ibanez 9 series, its a lot better then the ce-5, but is somewhat dark. No ce-1 thats for sure. I've had a visual sound h2o, that was alright, did more of a leslie thing, but still left a lot to be had (but the echo side was nice, for the $$ can't go wrong). Umm the dod one I had was really pretty good, but gave it up b/f giving it a wholehearted try. Sorry for the rant, but I haven't found anything in the lower end that even plays on the same field as the ce-1. I'd say your best bet is to try the small clone.

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 I had a Clone. I sold it for mad cheap because I needed PP funds for my JC-77. Find the irony in that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldCrankyDouche Posted September 10, 2007 Author Members Share Posted September 10, 2007 Ive thought about selling myself. Meh. My soul has been sold for a while.

Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thats Sean. He's pretty crazy. He broke both his main guitar and his backup guitar on tour and had to buy a new one. Then he and Justin bought the same guitar and it ruled.

Members Seth Carmody Posted September 11, 2007 Members Share Posted September 11, 2007 The CE-2 is close to the chorus side of the CE-1. I've also heard the Ibanez RC-99 is very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
