Nothing stands up to this chorus

I have used these on stage and recording for years. From the subtle to the extreme it's great. The durability for a working musician is one of the great features! Love it and wouldn't never have a board without one. Ooh yeah and it splits the signal!

Always connected.

After the compressor, it's my favorite effect. The best thing about it is the Blend that allows the bass to maintain the lows, which are its reason for being. I only give it a bit of effect, a bit of depth, and a bit of sustain, but all very lightly. In this way, it gives it a color, a small detail. I use the pedal for guitar, because at the time it was more economical for me, but I love the result, and that's why I have it on permanently, even alongside other effects, no matter what style of music I'm playing.

The best chorus

I bought my CH-1 from a buddy in high school almost thirty years ago. It has been absolutely rock solid ever since and I continue to use it at every opportunity. To me, this is the chorus sound.

From Gear Setup

overlooked because everyone sees ce-2w and ce-5.

i cant really rate this properly because mine is an analog version and not digital. its a pink label from 1998 that i bought for a steal. besides the sweet deal that influences my love for this pedal, it sounds pretty neat. it has that original chorus DNA but it works really well with humbuckers for me.

Very good chorus!

This is one of two pedals I have currently in my setup, I love using it with my Epiphone ES-339 pro for very shiny and washed chords and leads, you cannot go wrong with this chorus. I recommend this for your base chorus that does exactly what it needs to do. Only reason it's 4 instead of 5 stars is there are other choruses that slightly outperform in different aspects but for a great all around chorus for the price go for this!

Quite good for a shimmering chorus

If you like those shimmering choruses than this one's for you. The EQ makes it very versatile and it's easy to adapt to different playing styles be it overdriven or clean. As I have experienced Boss's buffer circuit it tends to make everything sound a bit harsh and this one is no exception. The CH-1 lacks a bit of depth compared to let's say a Maxon CS9 but shines in signal clarity. Neither is better than the other, just two different styles.

The analogue version (blue or pink label on bottom) sounds a bit rounder to my ears but the difference is really marginal.

My favourite pedal I own!

This pedal is great! It’s perfect with my Jazzmaster for an indie sound of any variety. It works with my Squier Strat as well! I really recommend this if you are planning on going into indie music. The settings are a little confusing at first, but after a while, you get the hang of it. The actual foot switch is great, a quick stomp will do it, to turn it on or off. It also works well with the BOSS Overdrive pedal, if you want to achieve an indie rock sound. I highly recommend this pedal.

very good!

i just got it as of writing it and have been continuing to experiment with it, it is quite nice with a sick chorus sound, pretty good modulation device, overall it feeds into my addiction of being a nerd for this type of shit :)

another thing is that this is my first actual boss pedal, ive always wanted one and finally got it after getting it on reverb.

(the one i have specifically is a model from 2001 and is pretty good overall)

Indeed a SUPER Chorus

The Boss CH-1 is simply Superb. The chorus sounds amazingly good and clean while retaining the warmth even with the Eq max out. It may not be as lush as the CE2w nor being able to do the Leslie speaker effect but I would say it has its own charm. The chorus on the CH-1 has a certain sparkle which I really like. It doesn't have the volume boost when it's engaged which is a plus point too. The built quality is second to none and certainly the most value for money chorus pedal out there. Can't go wrong with a BOSS.

Love it

I love this pedal I can change the settings a lot and it is perfect for me, it can be like water, like a ghost or light change of sound to the guitar
