Boss CE-1 vs. EHX Small Clone

Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe! This is Japan vs USA in a transcontinental chorus shootout! A 1979 (approx) Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, and a very early 1983 EHX Small Clone "Mini-Chorus" (with the MN3007 BBD). Which do you prefer? Comment below! The CE-1 is the big daddy and has just one knob to control the rate & depth of the chorusing. The Small Clone has a knob for speed and a two-position Depth switch. The Small Clone sounds most similar to the CE-1 with the Depth switch up, so that's where it stayed for this video - just be aware that the SC can also do slightly more subtle sounds with the switch down. I also tried to match the rate of the Small Clone as closely as possible to the CE-1, so we can better compare the fundamental sounds of the pedals. The CE-1 was originally designed for keyboards, not guitar, and has a 50k input volume pot - this is active even when the effect is bypassed. If you give the pedal the high impedance signal from a guitar, the 50k pot will remove much of your high end. To solve this, you can do one of two things: modify the pedal and replace the 50k pot with one of a much higher value, or simply give the pedal a buffered, low impedance signal. As the video shows, once I put a Suhr buffer in line before the CE-1, all the high end comes back. I leave the buffer in line before the CE-2 also, just to keep all variables as close as possible & create the fairest test. The CE-1 has a high/low input switch. Guitars tend to work best on the low setting, with the volume turned up to the point that the CE-1's preamp just starts to clip when you dig in (this grit is an important part of the CE-1 sound). Guitar is a Fender Strat through a Hughes & Kettner Puretone, recorded with a simple SM57 and an sE Electronics RNR1 Ribbon. [email protected]
