Chorus comparison (with delay) BOSS CE-2 vs MOOER Ensemble King 

Thank you for your comment, I hope you found the comparison useful

It is great at recreating the old Boss / Roland chorus sound

​​@@octoplodI am looking for a chorus that goes well with delay and reverb. There is a small difference between the mooer and the boss. What is the difference according to you?

@@cijntjekid I found the differences between the two were most noticeable with the controls in the extreme positions ie 'slowest or fastest'. In a mix, with most settings it is hard to tell them apart.

Thank you very much

Estoy de acuerdo. El Mooer Ensemble King me sorprendió con lo bien que suena.

Sigo tus maravillosos videos desde México! Saludos@@octoplod

It is much closer than I was expecting

Thanks for your comment. The delay doesn't have any modulation on it (it is just a simple digital delay), so all the modulation is coming from the chorus pedals. I've always felt that a bit of delay makes it easier to hear the chorus but that is just the way I like to evaluate them (it is not an approach everyone likes 🙂). I always comment if there is enough interest, I can make another video without the delay similar to this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5Ig4DdKjHo.html if it would help someone.

Thanks!. I'm not sure what the Ensemble King is a clone of, perhaps just a generic 80's Roland / BOSS analog chorus effect. I did think it compared surprisingly well to my old CE-2 though, much better sounding than I was expecting.

I usually use chorus and delay together so that's how I like to compare them but if there is enough interest, I can make another video without the delay similar to this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y5Ig4DdKjHo.html

I could do a comparison without the instruments but there are lots of videos that already do that. There aren't so many that demonstrate what the pedals sound like once you have drums and bass mixed in but if there is a demand for a video with no other instruments I could give it a go.

Thank you very much!

Thats one way to make a comparison but I think it is like comparing cars without ever driving them on the road. I'm not bothered about the tiny differences that can be heard between pedals when they are used in isolation because I intend to use them on guitar parts in a piece of music so thats how I evaluate them. In the videos I am asking the question, 'If I could use either of these pedals, on this guitar part, in this piece of music what diiferences (if any) can be heard?' . Sure, thats not what everyone wants from a pedal demo, but I think there already many youtube videos that compare them in the way you described, the world of youtube probably doesn't need another. But if you really want to hear the pedals in isolation and that video doesn't already exist on youtube, drop a comment and I will add it to my list.

I love the sound of the CE-2 but there are times when I wish I could make the chorus effect a little more subtle. A mix control would really help with that.

@@octoplod I use a LS-2 to get a mix that way, but it's a complicated way to get it... 😉 FWIW I would look into modding a CE-2B maybe...

Стереоверсия была бы хороша
