Analog Stereo Chorus, mine is a "green label" Made in Japan (Most recent internship factories in Japan) of APRS that the serial number date 1987 (I l I bought a OCCAZ ').

It is defined be low on the circuit of the famous CE-2 by adding the Stereo.

from a 9V DC power supply (it can also be powered by battery).
Between 1 and 2 outputs Jack.
3 knobs: Rate, Depth, and STEREO MODE.

Otherwise it's the classic case Boss, known for its robustness.

Beautiful light blue mtallis (Boss compact pedals THE FIRST using the paint mtallise, ouaiiiiiiiis class too! Hh.

It is the only Boss pedals with three knobs online and not in "V" as the current boxes of the brand 3 knobs.

UTILIZATION

The PDAL is very simple, two main rglages (in normal use and mono), depth and speed, it's easy, but ask for another chorus?

I did not have the manual with it and apparently one of the few pedals that Boss does not offer a version of numrique booklet on its site.
APRS contact by mail, they'll confirm that numrique version of the manual does not exist but I can get a paper version ... paying!, fun ... Fortunately it is not essential to have!

To continue the nitpicking, I prfre a switch in which mtal "click", rather than the Boss switch a little soft, with that in mtal even if you feel the big pumps although it has started (I'm quibbling, I quibble ...)

ngatif last point, the red LED and feeble (compare the blue LED in my Fulltone OCD which can cause blindness!) which is hidden behind the knob in the middle that forces be placed near the vertical the pedals to view properly.

Be no good if EXAGRES is dtails of a Boss pedals is when gnial same as compact, robust, etc ...

SOUND QUALITY

I was looking for a good chorus sound prcis, the sound of 80's, clear and subtle plutt.
I do not like the sounds of vintage chorus too cut with a knife, pulling the leslie effect (the Kurt Cobain) and I do not like the sounds of pedals numriques current. I did not need either a large pedals modlisation mulant more or less the sound of 50 pedals (often quite average).

With the pedals I'm thrilled it's right what I was looking, she sublimates my sound: warm but prcis, clear, Arian, with a real grain that may evokes the sounds of Police, Cure ...

Its dtracteurs accuse him of attnuer a bit low, yes, but a personal drang me not to contribute to the same chorus sound I like I think.

The breath I do not drang ...

Although the recess PDAL is not true-bypass, I think it's one default.

I did not test in Stereo.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a little over a month, is the kind of pedals, which is regrettable when the complexion, I am 100% satisfied it's exactly what I wanted.

If I had my pedalboard rduire 2 pedals I would choose the pedals as well as a distortion.

The report quality price seems to me correct because trs relatively low rating of the pedals makes INTERESTED trs and affordable.
