Boss CE-5 Mini Review by Fran


This is a classic Chorus stomp by BOSS, which delivers a pretty standard effect.


It has the usual knobs on a chorus: Level (adjusts effect volume), Rate (affects the sound wave), and Depth (Makes the effect stronger or weaker).


On top of these it sports an additional EQ Filter control with two extra knobs that allow cutting Hi/Lo frequencies. In my opinion this is the best feature of this pedal, as it allows to colour your sound in so many different ways besides typical rate/depth adjustments. The manual provides some examples which actually serve well as a starting point to tweak the pedal to your own taste.


It has two outputs which allow stereo in case you need it (I've never used it in stereo though). This stomp is digital, unlike the old CE-2, and some people find it a bit cold. I like BOSS chorus, so I'm happy with the results, though I can see how some might prefer some stronger "deeper" chorus stomps.


As usual with BOSS it's built like a tank, and it's not pricey either. An affordable classic chorus with a nice extra EQ filter. Worth my cash!
