The 1979 Boss CE-2 chorus pedal was renowned for its lush, warm analog chorus tones, originally built using the legendary Panasonic MN3007 Bucket Brigade Device (BBD) chip and the MN3101 clock driver. The original CE-2 had a notable volume drop when engaged, a characteristic that some players found limiting. Modern reproductions, like the Boss CE-2W Waza Craft pedal, fixed the volume drop issue and used high-quality reproduction BBD and clock chips. However, in their remake a new challenge was introduced: a slight increase in output volume, causing a noticeable volume boost when the pedal is engaged with no way to adjust.

At Harby, we’ve taken inspiration from these developments and gone a step further. We’ve addressed the volume boost issue by adding a volume control knob, allowing you to match unity volume with the rest of your signal chain seamlessly. We’ve employed the newer low noise analog BBD chip and clock driver. Additionally, we’ve included a mix knob, enabling you to blend your dry guitar signal with the modulated wet chorus signal for greater tonal flexibility.

Harby Mizu stays true to the iconic circuit of the 1979 original while integrating these enhancements to meet the needs of modern guitarists. Experience the classic chorus tones with the added benefit of precise control, ensuring your sound remains perfectly balanced.
