Billed as a "Contemporary Chorus," this Boss unit seems to either hated or loved by chorus freaks out there. While it doesn't have nearly as much warm personality as the older Boss CE-1 or CE-2 chorus units, it's still a pretty cool pedal that provides a very light, transparent, and watery sounding chorus. I'm sure 80s cover bands, R n B types and sensitive new agers will dig the pristine sounds of the CH-1. It really does seems to perform best when played through bright amps and clean guitars. The addition of an EQ knob racks up a few bonus points for tonal manipulation and should appeal to the all-around gigger. Because of its ultra smooth sound, we've seen the CH-1 in many keyboardists rigs over the years. This goes without saying, but running the CH-2 in stereo is a true treat and should impress even the most jaded gear snobs.
