## Description

From the manufacturer CE-2W Chorus About BOSS BOSS, a division of Roland Corporation, has achieved legendary status among guitarists, bassists, and vocalists with a diverse, class-leading product line-up of creative tools with exceptional sound, intuitive control, and rugged durability. Since 1977, BOSS has lead the way with innovative effects pedals, amplifiers, multi-effects processors, and loopers to wireless systems, vocal effects, tuners, metronomes, rhythm machines, recorders, and more. About WAZA CRAFT Made in Japan Offering updated & modified versions of BOSS classics Made from high quality, hand selected components THE WORLD’S FIRST CHORUS SOUNDS, REBORN WITH WAZA CRAFT Launched in 1976, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble was not only the world’s first chorus effect pedal, but also the very first BOSS pedal. 3 years later, this inventive new sound was squeezed into the CE-2 Chorus, and chorus pedals have remained in the compact lineup ever since. To this day, the spacious modulated tone of the signature BOSS effect is still loved by musicians everywhere. In 2016, BOSS marked its 40th anniversary by reintroducing the original analog chorus sounds in the Waza Craft CE-2W. Waza Craft innovation for a premium analog tone experience Standard mode provides a perfect reproduction of the legendary CE-2 sound CE-1 mode features chorus and vibrato, authentically reproducing the two stereo sound modes in the world’s first chorus pedal Includes new sounds not available in the original pedals, including CE-2 stereo output and variable depth for CE-1 chorus sounds Rate and Depth knobs provide fine sound adjustment in both pedal modes Premium all-analog circuitry with bucket-brigade (BBD) delay line The CE-2W’s Standard mode faithfully recreates the classic CE-2 chorus sound, and adds an expansive new sound field with stereo output, which was unavailable in the mono CE-2. CE-1 mode fully reproduces the stereo chorus and vibrato sounds of the legendary CE-1, with the addition of variable chorus depth not available in the original pedal. To commemorate the birth of BOSS effects, the CE-2W is made exclusively in Japan, just as the original CE-1 and CE-2 were. The CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, released in 1976 In 1975, Roland debuted the “Dimensional Space Chorus” effect in the famous JC-120 Jazz Chorus amplifier. Released the following year by Roland’s newly formed BOSS division, the stereo CE-1 Chorus Ensemble made it possible for players to achieve the lush, spacious chorus and unique vibrato sounds of the Jazz Chorus with any amplifier setup. Housed in a robust metal chassis with an attached AC cord, the CE-1 contained the same analog chorus and vibrato circuitry from the original Jazz Chorus amp. While both of these effects sounded great in mono, the CE-1 offered up its real magic when used in stereo with two separate amps. This delivered an incredibly rich and immersive sound experience that was a true joy to play. The CE-2W provides an authentic reproduction of the CE-1’s analog sounds, with additional chorus adjustment now possible with a variable depth control. The CE-2 Chorus, released in 1979 Soon after the iconic BOSS compact pedal line was launched in 1977, guitarists started requesting the CE-1 chorus sound in this smaller, battery-powered format. In 1979, these demands were answered with the CE-2 Chorus. Specially designed for guitarists, the CE-2 offered a milder modulation compared to the CE-1, always keeping the guitar sound sharp and well defined. This refined chorus tone was an instant success, becoming the go-to sound for hit guitar tracks throughout the 1980s and beyond. In addition to authentically producing the CE-2’s original mono-only sound, the CE-2W makes the classic pedal’s soft modulated tone available in stereo for the first time ever. Proudly Made In Japan The CE-1 and CE-2 represent the early days of BOSS’s longstanding dedication to innovation and quality, which remains stronger than ever at four decades and counting. Bringing together the cutting-edge technology of the time, savvy craftsmanship, and a devotion to helping musicians create great music, these landmark pedals embodied the spiritual mission for every BOSS product since. For this memorable 40th anniversary, the Waza Craft CE-2W Chorus is produced in Japan just like the original pedals, honoring the long, rich heritage of BOSS effects. Waza Craft: The Art of Superior Tone Since the beginning, the engineers at BOSS have been committed to achieving the finest guitar tones using any technology necessary, from old-school analog circuits to high-tech DSP. This enthusiastic spirit continues on with the Waza Craft series, which brings you exceptional tone and touch response through carefully selected analog components, refined circuitry, and meticulous attention to detail. In Japan, “Waza” is the term for art and technique, and these special edition pedals proudly carry the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.

Review: Sensational Secret Sauce pedal!! - The BP-1W is one of the jewels in the Waza Craft crown. Boss outdid themselves with this low key gem-it’s part boost, part drive, part compressor and all brilliant. I use this primarily for solo shows with my Fender American Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, it’s up front on a pretty extensive board (behind a TU-3W and a ten band EQ), and I use it as a clean boost for fingerstyle, to push my overdrive for solos, to stack with my compressor for edgy tones and controlled feedback and sometimes just as a mild drive. The Nat setting offers a slightly hairy and vaguely compressed clean boost, like an MXR Micro Amp into a Diamond Comp turned way down, but more hi-fi. It simply makes everything sound better and bigger. RE mode is a little darker and crunchier, bringing a replica of the Space Echo pre into play. The CE mode sounds just like a MIJ CE-2 with the chorus controls turned all the way down. The CE mode is why I bought this pedal-my producer has an early ‘80s CE-2 which we often use as an always-on “bettering” pedal, such is the great tone of the preamp in it. This does the same job but for way less money than an MIJ CE-2! The BP-1W is super easy to use. Two knobs, one three way switch, and an on/off treadle. Great tone is easy to find-just switch it on, find unison output, add gain to taste and let it do its work. It just works so well. Would probably be my desert island pedal. I bought one before, didn’t appreciate the subtlety, returned it and almost immediately bought it again. It’s simply sensational.
Review: I have a TS-9 as well, but I prefer this! BOSS is BOSS! - This new, Waza Craft, in other words; Made In Japan Super Overdrive (as were the OG BOSS pedals), is superb! I have a fair few overdrives, and although the Waza Blues Driver (BD-2w) is probably my favorite for lead boosting as an overdrive, this one isn't far behind, and is arguably the better 'always on' pedal of the two, especially for Hard Rock / Heavy Metal tones! That's probably a biased statement, as that's the genre of music I prefer, but stack the two together and you've got something quite special! Harmonics just seem to jump out with this pedal on, and I find myself having a very handy 'Van Halen-esque' tone constantly and easily - great for lead and rhythm. Simple, foolproof layout and knob options, typical bombproof BOSS build quality, low current draw (15mA for all you pedalboard builders out there!), comes with a 9V battery as well. The switch in the middle changes the character of the drive from the old, standard SD-1 (but with improved circuitry) to a more modern take - both are great, but I personally REALLY like the Custom option! Nothing to dislike here, superb pedal at a more than fair price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the best pedal of it's type
*by A***B on 24 February 2025*

Likely the best overdrive. It has a really good range from subtle to slightly over the top. Really nice when playing monophonic or duophonic. Not really for metal, there are better distortion pedals for that I would say, but great for rock and blues style for many popular bands styles. Not sure I needed the waza features, when on, the waza reminds me of the Dolby switch hifi devices used to have ie it adds tone maybe a little dull and less rough. Through a large amp this may make a huge difference. Better to have it and not regret it later though when you see reviews or your friends tell you how great waza is
