A faithful analog modeling of the legendary Boss® CE-1™ Chorus Ensemble, capturing the warm, organic BBD delay line, pitch vibrato, and distinctive transistor preamp stages that defined guitars, synthesizers, and Rhodes electric pianos throughout the late 1970s and 1980s.
Component-Level BBD Emulation: Accurately simulates the MN3002 bucket-brigade chip and clock noise characteristics responsible for the lush, non-linear modulation of the original unit.
Dedicated Chorus & Vibrato Modes:
Chorus: Dial in lush, slow-rate ensemble modulation via the single Intensity control.
Vibrato: Independent pitch modulation with adjustable Rate and Depth controls.
Classic vs. True Stereo Processing:
Classic Mode: Replicates the hardware's dry-left / wet-right spatial layout.
Stereo Mode: Processes both left and right channels with complete, phase-offset chorus modulation for wide, modern stereo imaging.
Discrete Preamp & Saturation Control: Includes the original high-gain input circuit that saturates easily on high-output instruments, along with Vintage Mode filters (Mild and Clear) for clean, unclipped operation.
Preamp-Only Operating Mode: Disengage the modulation circuit to use Chorus Ensembler solely as a vintage analog color box and saturator.
Host Tempo Synchronization: Lock vibrato and modulation rates to DAW tempo subdivisions (straight, dotted, and triplet).
Stereo Spread & Phase Control: Continuously variable stereo width control to fine-tune spatial separation without phase cancellation.
Front Panel & Hidden Controls:
In / Level Controls: Calibrate input gain to drive the preamp stage into subtle warmth or heavy transistor grit.
Vintage Mode (Mild / Clear): Tames aggressive input clipping for cleaner fidelity on synths, acoustic instruments, and master stems.
Chorus Intensity: Sets the blend and modulation intensity of the BBD delay sweep.
Vibrato Depth & Rate: Continuous control over pitch excursion and LFO speed.
Pre / Post Gain: Independent level balancing before and after the effects chain.
Dry / Wet Mix: Blend parallel dry signal directly within the plugin.
Input Impedance Selector: Toggle input loading between High and Low to match electric guitar pickups or line-level synth inputs.
