BOSS CE-2W
After Boss reissued the muchloved VB-2 Vibrato, we all knew the
CE-2 Chorus would soon follow,
and here it is. Thanks to the Waza
Craft line (Waza means Art and
Technique in Japanese) Boss has
been reissuing some of their most
loved classics. But rather than
doing straight-up reissues, it has
been adding a little extra magic to
each pedal. Guitarists the world
over would be thrilled to have a
regular CE-2 reissue. But thankfully,
that isn’t the Waza way. As a result,
we’re going to get all of the classic
CE-2 chorus tones and a few new
surprises. Those surprises are two
modes that seek to recreate the
sounds of the “big box” Boss CE-1
Chorus Ensemble, a pedal that
was well-used by John Frusciante, Johnny Marr, and a few other fabulous
guitarists not named John. And along with the CE-1 Chorus mode, we also
get the CE-1 Vibrato mode. With three fantastic sounds in one new pedal,
Boss is no doubt back at the top of its game.

THE STREETS, SOME ARE A
