"..get to the chorus already!"

I had a CH-1 Super Chorus clone by Behringer (UC-200), but I after some time I decided to try a different chorus sound. I bought this little Mooer based on various reviews and they were definitely correct - this is a fantastic chorus, a clone of the legendary CE-2.

The enclosure is small yet sturdy, two small knobs for setting the level of chorus effect and depth, one large knob for rate. To be honest, the rate knob is quite sensitive and you could change it even by touching it slightly. This is the only thing that's somewhat "bad", but the rest is only positive things.

Sound is full, great for compressed slightly overdriven lead playing (think current James Dean Bradfield, Johnny Marr), blends well with the distortion. Also, this pedal is dead silent. UC-200 could get similar tones, but I felt that something was lacking. Ensemble King provides that "something" plus sounds great, functions well and is cheap. I definitely recommend.

Preferred Settings + Usage:

From Gear Setup

Perfectly useable, worth the money.

I've got no problem with using this; sounds good, reasonable price, easy to dial in and a surprising amount of versatility (the rate knob goes from practically immobile to faux-leslie warbleness). I also have a CE-2w (which I left in my student res in Canada, and bought this to get some 80s-ness into the stuff I'm currently recording), and it's a perfectly fine surrogate, but it's no replacement: I can't help but feel like I'm losing a bit of high end, and that my signal is getting a little muddier. It's enough to be noticed but not enough to really bug me, though it's definitely the thing that's stopping me from swapping the CE-2 off of the board. Having the level/blend control is also a nice added bonus, though.

So, overall, as I say: perfectly fine, nothing to get overly excited about. I prefer using it with my synth than with my guitar.

A Cheap and Cheerful Chorus to get you through.

This sounds great, that's all there really is to it. To my ears, it doesn't replace the pedal it's very clearly designed to emulate, but it is a very reliable and cool chorus. I like this one best dialled back but it can get into vaguely-rotary-ish territory with a more pronounced sweep. People who are very serious about chorus should look elsewhere to more robust, tweak-able options, but if you just need that one, classic chorus sound for that one moment in your cover band's setlist, this'll do the trick nicely

Spot on CE-2 Sounds

Having owned a ton of chorus pedals and/or rack effects, ultimately I always ended up going back to my old Boss CE-2 pedal due to the simplistic design, deep sound, and durability. However, the thing is so beat up and old, I never know if it's going to die on me during a gig. However, a friend of mine told me about Mooer's line of mini pedals and I was blown away by the accuracy. I've since swapped the big white knob for a boss-style knob, just to keep the outside pleasing to my eye. This is the closest sounding pedal i have heard to an original CE-2, for a fraction of the price. Personally, I dime the top 2 knobs and then keep the rate knob at around 7:30 for a very deep, swooping sound, and when i need a lead tone, turn the knob to around 9.

Great Sound

Super organic chorus.. unbeatable price-quality and easy to set up..

Simple, and EXCELLENT pedal!!

Do not let the presentation or reputation fool you!!! this cheap and little pedal is AWESOME, and it is analog, you can get really good chorus tones with this little beast, and with distortion sounds great!! It is a clone of the mytical Boss CE-2, but way cheaper, Mooer makes really good pedals in general, but this pedal is worth every peny

Boss CE-2 clone

Sounds better, fuller and warmer than CE-2W (didn't try original CE-2). Other advantages: Level of effect control. Cheap. True bypass. Small

Boss Ch-1 replica

True and the best copy of Boss Ch-1. Bang for the buck.

Subtle chorus

Similar tone to the Boss CE-2. Subtle effect.

Nice and small

Nice Reverb, perfect for my small board
