Analog chorus pedal.
An input jack and two outputs (one single and one for the stereo, which allows for spatial sound).
9V power like all these little pedals ...
The rest is the Boss: Always the same chassis, the same switch, the same size foot. Very solid.
UTILIZATION
The manual captures some basic settings when starting from scratch (and in my case). We quickly understand what it's about:
- Potentiometer "Level E" to control the output level of the effect
- Potentiometer "Low Filter" which lets you control how often the worse from which the chorus will be applied
- Potentiometer "Rate", which manages the speed (or frequency) of the amplitude variation of the effect. At 7am the chorus varies very slowly over time, at 5am the chorus swings very quickly.
- A last potentiometer "Depth" which controls the effect depth.
The only thing that bothers me are the small buttons dials: I find them very tight and when we play and that in the heat of the moment is to make small adjustments, if only one is a bit awkward or that we have some big fingers, you can inadvertently disrupt a little knobs that we manipulated neighbors! Nothing really bad but sometimes it bothers me a little. We went immediately into account the discomfort, I knew to buy, I paid so knowingly.
SOUND QUALITY
The chorus is very well what he is asked.
To my taste the sound lacks a little bass output but it's really personal, I would have liked some sort of "bass boost" dedicated to the pedal (like EHX did when they released their model low for the Big Muff).
When the gauge lightweight, but it is clear that clarity disappears very quickly when you push the settings further. This gives a warmer sound to 'Come As You Are' by Nirvana to give a famous example.
Depending on what you want your chorus, it is important to test a relatively transparent and another to get hotter the difference in rendering. Please ask your dealer to different models for you to make a difference if you do not know.
OVERALL OPINION
I use a little more on my guitar as my bass in the end but I am very happy after 3 months of use. The possibilities are wide enough for what I do. Which is quite nice is that exceeding the 2hr with Rate and Depth knobs, you get a sound almost detune, and I love this vibrant sound that sounds a bit 'fake' and fits well in sentences atonal example.
In this price range, I think I would do this election day but if I hear of a change to bring more heat and / or more bass, I will be surely try.
Contrary to advice given below, I think the comparison with UniChorus BSE is absolutely not justified because the model of EBS has a mode and a mode Flanger Vibrato against which the CEB-3 Boss can not compete: BSE is almost 3 pedals in 1, which explains why it pays 90 € more ... You just know what you want.
