Sound: I have been using Boss pedals since long time but i did not tried their chorus as i already had a Ibanez one. So when i plugged it in my amp it just sounded superb. It even produce brillant sound in mono setting. It has got everything which a guitarist wants. Sound is clean, rich and amazingly beautiful. It is something i have been missing since so many years. I am completely satisfied with it. It gives good sound if it is being used with distortion. Feature: The best feature it has got is the low and high filters which gives you complete control over your desired sound. The pedal is very rugged and the variable knobs are very smooth and quiet. The unit is simply one of the best constructed. Ease of Use: It is very easy to shape any sound from this unit. It also very simple to mix it with other effects and does not cause any trouble. The manual is very clear and it also stated all the famous settings for various sound productions. Quality: The unit is very strong and very well made. But its paint finishing seems a little dull. I used it on the road and it is completely reliable. Overall its quality is great. Value: I think the price is a little higher. People now a days perfer to buy the complete effect boards so consequently these individual pedals prices should be reduced to let the hobbiest to get them more easily. Manufacturer Support: Never had a problem with their units so far. The Wow Factor: It is a perfect addition to my effect pedal libary. After buying it i can't think to play my guitar without it. Overall: No i would not change it. I will buy same another one if it being stolen. It surely complements all my musical targets. The best thing is its sound quality and least is its paint finishing quality it is rather dull.

Sound: Great sound, from really watery effects to crazy fast modulation. Perfect for what I do. I use it with keyboards and theremin, too. Makes for some great noises when coupled with heavy delay and some distortion. My only complaint is that it makes a low hum with the low filter turned even half way up. Feature: It would be nice if it came with an adapter because it does drain batteries FAST. Otherwise features are good. Quality: The high filter knob has bent a little bit, but it doesn't really effect performance. I've had it for 10 years now and it hasn't fallen apart. Boss makes tough pedals. Value: Don't remember what I paid, but I've never regretted buying it. I can't live without a chorus pedal. Manufacturer Support: Don't know, never talked to them. Maybe I should about that hum. The Wow Factor: I like the look of Boss pedals, but that's not the most important factor here now is it? Overall: Like I said, my only complaint is that hum with the low filter dial turned up. Maybe there's a way to remedy that? If I had to replace it, I would probably look at other models. Before I bought it I also tried the Boss Super Chorus, but the Chorus Ensemble definitely had the better sound.

Sound: excellent sound, really brightens up your clean tone, i dont ever use it when playing with distortion but im sure it can keep up with it. I can really hear the difference between playing with a chorus pedal and going completely dry signal clean. I couldnt imagine playing anything clean without chorus just because this pedal adds so much more beautiful tonalites to your tone. Feature: 5 control knobs, perfect for honing in the sound your looking for, anything from wickedly liquid chorus to something very small and faint sounding Ease of Use: Its a boss, so obviously just plug and play. They give you a few examples in the instruction guide which are great but more so better for you seeing how exactly the pedal works and what does what, then from that being able to find your own sound Quality: ive owned a boss pedal for almost 6 years now and it hasnt broken so i entrust this one to stay put for just as long Value: its nice and cheap, though i traded in my old wah for this so i didnt pay a cent, but its still only like 119 bucks canadian Manufacturer Support: Havent had to deal with them, boss products are top of the line they'll never break The Wow Factor: its baby blue, looks like any other boss pedal so it fits in nicely on the ol pedalboard with the rest of em. Made of metal so its gonna be able to take a stompin. Overall: As far as im concerned i wont ever need another chorus pedal, if it breaks i'll buy another one just like it. It suits all my needs ive never been limited by what it can or possibly cannot do, absolutely perfect for chorus. Go out an buy it if your lookin for chorus, its lush.

Sound: Sound just what I wanted. Smooth, warm and clean. I really love it especially in clean tunes sounds like it float in the sky while you do the plucking or strumming.

Quality: BOSS pedals are gonna last long thats why I like them. Value: Dont hesitate to buy this one really worth it. Overall: Overall Im empressed with this pedal and Im damn glad proud I choose Boss CE-5. Sound + quality + value = BOSS CE-5
