From the Wall: The CE-2W

The CE-2 is the chorus most later chorus pedals were measured against, warm and wide and analog, and the CE-2W is the analog reissue of the blue 1979 pedal with a second mode for the 1976 CE-1, the first chorus pedal and the first Boss pedal. Standard mode is the CE-2 sound with a stereo output the mono original never had. CE-1 mode gives the CE-1's deeper chorus and its vibrato, a pitch wobble with no dry signal, with a depth control the original lacked.

What's on the Wall

Boss in stock now: the drives, the delays and reverb, the modulation, the pitch and synth pedals, the compressor, the tuners and the Katana amp. Up to three per group, most expensive first; any others are in the collection.

Why We Stock Boss

Paul's line on it: "Boss is the most consequential pedal brand ever. Elegant, legendary design and reliability." We buy direct from Boss, and there's a shelf of them on the wall instead of one or two.

Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 1902 shirt mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If stairs are difficult or you're bringing in something you don't want to carry up, call or text us and we'll arrange access.
