Mike Lindup uses the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, as evidenced by a photo he shared on Instagram. In the caption, he thanks @johnhenryenterprisesinc for the rehearsal space and mentions checking out new gear for the tour. The image includes the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble among other equipment.

A guy that knows Steve on this forum says He used a CE-1 Chorus Ensemble on the early Mr. Mister recordings in the mid 80's.

Postby markmod » Mon Feb 20, 2006 7:58 pm Hey Guys,

Steve is a pal of mine and I thought I could give you some information. Yes, he recently moved to Nashville, and he goes back and forth to Nebraska, where he owns a hunting preserve. Steve is an avid hunter and sportsman.

His early Mr. Mister rig consisted of Jim Kelley and Dumble combos, split into stereo via a modified BOSS CE-1, with a Korg rack delay into the FX loop of the Dumble. A BOSS HM-2 (Heavy Metal) pedal was used on "Broken Wings," among other Mr. songs. This was all before his first Bradshaw rack. Steve mentioned that his big influence during the Mr. Mister years was guitarist, Jamie Oram-West of the FIXX. All those splashy, effected, and compressed chords came from that influence.

Some years ago, I did a couple of tech jobs for Steve when he played out around Los Angeles. He had a small rack with pedals (fulltone stuff, a red snapper, among other things) through a modified Bogner Shiva head and 4X12 cab. His guitars were usually a white reissue Strat and a reissue goldtop Les Paul. Switching was done via Bradshaw 2X4 and RS-10 MK II.

His studio rig is another story, he uses a larger rack and multiple heads and cabinets. Steve is pretty secretive of his set-up and doesn't give up much information. However, I have seen it many times and have played through it. Out of respect for Steve's wishes, I will not give up any of that info, just the older rigs I can discuss. Thanks for understanding.

At 1:01:43 in the video titled "My Synth Studio Revealed | Studio Tour 2025" by Anthony Marinelli Music on YouTube, Anthony Marinelli's pedal collection is shown to include a Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble.

We can see the 2 switches + power button of the CE-1 at the bottom right corner of the picture.

In the MusicTech interview "Sonic Tapestries," Jane Weaver mentions using the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, highlighting its role in shaping her sound.

A photograph of Masaaki Yaguchi's pedalboard, included in an interview from "Guitar Magazine Japan," confirms his use of the Boss CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, which is modified with a "Weed" mod.

He uses Boss CE-1 Chorus Enseble in his rig.

The instrument appears on the list of instruments on official artist's website (http://olszak.pl/).

• Yamaha SS-30 String Synth
• Prophet 5 x 2
• Yamaha CS-50
• Yamaha CP-70
• Roland CE-1 Chorus

There is a part of the interview in which he is asked why he chose the CS-50 over the CS-80. He states that the "...CS-80 is huge and the 50 sits nicely onto my piano. CS-80s are beautiful instruments, but I don't want to have huge piles of keyboards all around."
