The BOSS CE-5 Chorus Ensemble pedal delivers a full spectrum of chorus tones ideal for any guitarist looking to expand their sound. This compact yet powerful unit provides adjustable Rate and Depth controls to produce subtle chorusing or intense modulation. High and low-cut filters allow you to shape your tone, creating stunning effects ranging from glistening 12-string-like shimmers to lush, ambient washes of sound. With stereo outputs, you can utilize the CE-5 with two amps for an exceptionally wide and dimensional tone.

Achieve Iconic Sounds With Simple Controls

Designed with an intuitive layout, the CE-5 makes it easy to dial in lush chorus effects with just a few knobs. The Rate control adjusts the speed of the effect, allowing you to create slow, undulating waves of sound or rapid pulses for vibrato effects. The Depth knob controls the intensity of the chorus, from subtle enhancements to your tone to dramatic, seasick pitch warbles. High and low-cut filter knobs allow you to shape the effected frequencies to your liking, perfect for guitarists wanting to retain low end punch or cut through a mix with shimmering highs.

Go Stereo for Spacious and Dimensional Tones

With stereo outputs, the CE-5 can be used in conjunction with two guitar amps or a stereo effects loop to create an exceptionally wide and full sound. When used in stereo, the CE-5 generates two distinct chorus effects, one for the left channel and one for the right. The resulting sound is rich, lush and spatially expansive—ideal for both ambient textures and pop-infused rhythms. For mono operation, simply use the CE-5's mono output jack.

Roadworthy and Built to Last

BOSS is renowned for the durability and reliability of their products, and the CE-5 is no exception. Its solid metal chassis and footswitches are built to withstand the rigors of travel and stage use. Dependable and built to last, the CE-5 delivers iconic BOSS quality and performance that you can count on, gig after gig and session after session. Powered by a 9V battery or optional power supply (sold separately), the CE-5 is a roadworthy pedal you can rely on.
