One is really beat up and is always on my pedal board, I&#8217;ll get a photo of that up soon. These things just nail the sound I am looking for with an analog chorus. The Ibanez CS-9 is very similar in sound to the CE-2, so if you can&#8217;t find a CE-2, use the Ibanez.<\/p>\n<p>Below:<\/p>\n<p>Chorus CE-2 Made In Japan December 1981<br \/>\nBlack label Serial Number 137700<br \/>\nChorus CE-2 Made In Japan September 1982<br \/>\nBlack label Serial Number 220400<br \/>\nChorus CE-2 Made In Japan October 1983<br \/>\nBlack label Serial Number 350100<br \/>\nChorus CE-2 Made In Japan January 1987<br \/>\nGreen label Serial Number 740800<\/p>\n<p>Info below from http:\/\/www.bossarea.com\/<\/p>\n<h2>CE-2 Chorus<\/h2>\n<p>The CE-2 was the first compact pedal chorus from Boss. The CE-1 was released 1976 and contained the exact same circuit as the Roland Jazz Chorus JC-120 Amp. The CE-2 builds on the legacy of the CE-1 but isn&#8217;t identical. The middle region is boosted in the CE-2 compared to the CE-1. According to the design engineers this may be because the CE-1 had a lower input impedance.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;\"> <\/span> Roland says that they stopped marketing the CE-2 November 1982. The pedal was however still produced and sold at least out 1990. The label changed from black to green 1984. The CE-2 was produced in Japan up until 1988 when production moved to Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Version differences<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The CE-2 exists in both silver screw and black screw versions.<\/li>\n<li>The font used on the &#8220;Chorus&#8221; label is wider on some versions. This results in the C in CE-2 to be located under the r in Chorus on the earliest models while it later ended up under the u.<\/li>\n<li>The circuit has gone through some minor changes but nothing significant. All MIJ CE-2s are designed around the MN3007 BBD using MN3101 clock driver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Specifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Controls: <\/strong>Rate, Depth<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectors: <\/strong>Input, Output, AC Adaptor<\/li>\n<li><strong>Current Draw: <\/strong>9 mA (DC 9V)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight: <\/strong>400 g.
