However, I prefer the MIJ old CE2 and also @ThorpyFX Oggin and the TC SCF (still a class leader)
*An Official Foo-Approved guitarist since Sept 2023.
I've had other CE2 clones and none of them sound anywhere near as good.
It's also really versatile as you also have the CE1 which almost sounds like a very liquid flange (and works well in front of the amp with drive) and also the vibrato setting.
FWIW I think all the Waza pedals are solid buys. Some are niche/specialist obviously, not everyone needs a Dimension or a Metal Zone, but the middle-of-the-road bread n' butter effects tend to be excellent.
All the Wazas seem to be great and I've also got the delay and chorus on a daisy chain with some drives without a load of noise.
The ce-2 and ce-3 both sounded spectacular but added noise to the signal. The ce-2 did not cut as much bass as the ce-3 did, but it wasn't an enormous difference.
The dod is technically better sounding than both, but a bit different. No noise added to the chain, no bass drop, brilliant sounding chorus with a slightly phasey thing available if wanted. Overall, my pick. But it's built like shit and needs a funny power supply converter cable. It'll break one day. I'll be sad.
If you want a ce-2 tone that is well built and modded for more depth/range on tap, the visual sound h20 V2 or v3 is excellent. Lower noise than the vintage examples, well built, soft switch, and can be pretty vibey if you want it to be. Another top pick imo.
As a bonus, all the above are blue! As law dictates
Best Ive used is the Free The Tone, but the simple CE2w is very good.
Like young James said, nothing Ive played sounds or feels really like a CE1, as the pre amp makes all the difference.
The CE2-W perfectly models the chorus in the CE1, but the CE1 is a chorus and a preamp and the CE2-W makes no attempt to model the preamp so it doesn't have any of the crunchy character. I really like it, but it doesn't drive at all.
They are both great, buy both
My wife liked the CE2-W more however and she usually claims all guitar pedals sound the same (we know she is probably right).
Can I really have two chorus pedals on my board?
