Boss CEB-3

Found it too subtle for my needs and sold it. It does a great job if you just want some subtle chorus on the higher bass notes whilst leaving the lower register ones untouched, plus the pedal itself is very solid like all Boss pedals. If i was to go Boss again i'd get a CE-5...more versatile and more pronounced if needed

I too echo that the CE-5 is wonderful for bass. Can be subtle or warbly. Also, the low and high cut knobs are useful to keep the low notes defined and still retain the chorus effect. A lot of other chorus pedals I’ve tried muddy up the E string notes
