A while back, it was 'thought' that the CE-2B might be handy to use on guitar because a) maybe it was a CE-2 just 'voiced' a little differently, and b) sure would be handy to have a level control to dial-in some chorus rather than full-on chorus.

I have been looking now for a cheapie CE-2B (pawnshops etc) for about 1 year and a half and no luck.

Can anyone tell me if this is worth pursuing? Can you tell us if that CE-2B is worth it for the level control to add some subtle chorus or is the voicing all wrong for guitar.

Hi starr36

As far as I can see, the CE-2 & 2B as identical, except for:
The larger value input-output caps.
and the mix-level control.

The CE-2B works really well with guitar.
In face some players prefer it to the CE-2.

Regards Dr. Bob.

That one's pretty cheap.

I was lucky enough to purchase one of these pedals new back in '96 or so, just before the CEB-3 came out.
I use it on both instruments all the time, since it's the only chorus pedal I have.
Although a nice minty CE-2 would make my GAS bubble come to life

hehe. i don't need one right now though :(

it's a taiwan model as well. if it's still here when i get home from work i might pull the trigger on it.

been downsizing a little bit and downgrading effects that i don't use much as my hobbies have strayed away from guitar a bit.
