Boss CE-2W WAZA CRAFT Chorus with CE-1 Mode, Made in Japan

The Boss CE-2W Waza Craft Chorus is more than just a chorus pedal — it’s a piece of Boss history, refined and brought right up to modern standards. From the very first chorus sound ever put into a pedal, to one of the most loved effects of all time, this unit carries decades of tone in one compact box.

It all starts with the legacy. The original CE-1 Chorus Ensemble (1976) wasn’t just groundbreaking — it invented the chorus pedal. Then came the CE-2, which distilled that lush, modulated sound into the now-iconic compact format. Fast forward to today, and the CE-2W brings both of those voices back to life — properly.

In Standard mode, you get a faithful recreation of the CE-2 — that warm, swirling, unmistakably musical chorus that’s been heard on countless records. It’s simple, rich, and sits perfectly in a mix.

Flip over to CE-1 mode, and things open up. You get the wide, immersive stereo chorus of the original CE-1, along with its lush vibrato effect — plus an added bonus: variable chorus depth, giving you more control than the original ever allowed.

The result is a pedal that can go from subtle shimmer to full, dimensional swirl, all while keeping that unmistakable analogue warmth and movement.

And this is Waza Craft — so it’s all premium analogue circuitry, carefully tuned by Boss engineers in Japan. In fact, just like the originals, the CE-2W is made in Japan, which adds that extra bit of authenticity for players who care about the details.

Run it in mono, or take full advantage of the stereo outputs to create a wide, spacious sound field that really brings your tone to life.

It’s the kind of pedal that doesn’t just add an effect — it adds a feeling.

You’ll often see players plug into one of these in Musicmaker, hit a chord, and immediately get that grin — because some sounds just never go out of style.
