pricewise that's not bad. seen them as low as $70 but ~$110-120 is average.

as for sound, they're kind of a jack of all trades master of none.

unless you already have a sweet chorus, i would consider it $100 better spent on something like a CE-2 or CS9.

i guess the question is if you want to be able to make 50 different chorus sounds or if you would be more content with 1 really good chorus sound that is better than all 50 from the machine.

That's the thing. Does it do anything that you couldn't get from a CE-2 or a CE-5?

I like my CE-20 but I prefer my CE-2 or even my CE-3 to the 20.

I think you get some great chorus sounds from it and the CE-1 setting isn't bad.

I still own a 20 but use my 2 much more as it's smaller and sounds just as good (if not better).

Hope that helps.

Thanks, folks - that was exactly the type of feedback I was looking for. Looks like I'll go with my CE-2 and CE-5!!

I was 'talking' to Dr Bob about this in another post ..i've noticed that the price of the CE 20 has dropped here as well...i saw one brand new in a music shop a while back for i think was about 150 euro and less in the small ads secondhand......boss should of went with an all round modulation pedal rather than just a multi chorus pedal.....

I don't want to hijack this thread but i'm sure boss could of easily have done it as line 6 did with it's modulation pedal...imagine having chorus,tremolo,phaser and flanger all in one boss twin pedal...hook it up in stereo into a DD-20 or RE-20 and out to two amps.... i would think it would sound massive.....not to mention the amount of real estate you would save on pedalboards...........

I know...
I'm still hoping too.

Unlike the Slicer/Rotary/Space-echo things they've bought out recently, a modulation twin-pedal would get far more regular usage.
