What should I pay for one in excellent condition? I see about $90 which is what my local store lists it for. I think I have them down to $50 so I offered $40 which I think would be a steal.
I realize most believe the CE-2 is the shit but really.. how good IS the CE-3?
TIA |

CE-3 is usually much cheaper than CE-2 and it�s a damn good chorus. A bit different from each other, but some like CE-3 the most.
I have seen prices around US $30 here in Sweden, so CE-3 is a hidden treasure.

i agree goran,
here in the uk, we can pick them up for �30, if you know where to look. and yes, both chorus pedals are vastly different, but both equally brilliant, in the right settings. :) |

i prefer it over the CE-2 because it has a stereo feature. plus the wet/dry mix feature is cool to mess with. its been known to be a little colder than a CE-2 but in a band situation i doubt its noticeable.
i wouldnt pay more than 75-80 for one. |

Hi Guys
Mine is sitting quietly in the storage case.
waiting for another rainy day,
or the longer rains of winter...
Perhaps we should post our favorite CE-3 settings?
Regards Dr. Bob |

Definitely an underrated pedal.
Must admit I prefer the CE-2 but the CE-3 is half price in comparison and you can't go wrong with that. |

I like it as well although I keep finding that I'll probably never keep a chorus on my board. This is the second CE-3 I had too! It really is nice, but I'll probably end up shipping this one off too  . I'll make it available if anyone is after one. |

I do find it a love/ leave it chorus - if you've got "the other ones"...I suppose it is a good deal and if you can get one on the cheap you've got nothing to lose...but I had a CE-2, an analog CE-5 I liked because you get actually get a lower-end and "thick" chorus from that...not to be condescenindg, but perhaps the idea of "poor man's CE-2" does work...
On a similar thread...what about which chorus excels in a clean/ quiet vein vs. driven/ distorted - that could be a different thing altogether, no? |

A two-amp setup is the key. 
Given that, they the 2 and 3 achieve really different things.
I see some for sale for $75ish, but I think that's a little high unless it's early and in nice condition (box/manual is a different story).

The DC-3 is really good for both clean and distorted sounds
being totally digital, it comes off different than standard chorus pedals |
