Both of these use vintage bucket-brigade analog circuit, basically sound almost identical. the difference is the MXR gives you more parameters to tweak and cost $100 less
I'm an MXR guy. I have many of their pedals, but in the room and in real world application, this Boss Chorus is my choice. It's an amazing sounding pedal.
I’ve owned both over the years. Of the two I’m confident for my personal sound MXR is my go to. The Boss is good too, but not quite as sweet as the MXR234. You also get a bit more control over the sound with the MXR and I’ve noticed it takes less knob turning, than the BOSS as well. For me hands down MXR.
The CE-2W is great because its alt modes expand the flavors a lot, especially the vibrato setting! The MXR is powerful because the EQs open up the sonic range ten fold. You cant go wrong with either. If you're watching after buying one, dont worry, you cant go wrong with one over the other ;)
So many contrasting opinions, here is mine, the MXR is a very detailed pedal that takes time and effort to dial in but amazing tones, Boss is respectable but I prefer the older Boss CE3 MIJ tone I got over this waza. As a semi-pro my vote goes to MXR on this demo.
The MXR level is a great weapon. The Boss Vibrato setting have more speed rate than MXR. But both pedal sounds great. I have a CE-2w and I love the CE-1 mode. Sounds complex and nostalgic.
I have mxr analog chorus it sounds good but i would recommend boss chorus if the pedal is going to use with other pedals such as OD or Distortion. Mxr chorus sucks a lot of tone when bypass.
Excellent! I'm aware these are 2 of the best chorus pedals out there based on yt reviews. I know this is over a year old. I don't need a chorus, but I would actually do this: BOSS CE-2w for rhythm and MXR for leads. That's exactly what I would do.
Careful. Mxr analog chorus has a very bad buffer and the tone is spoiled when the pedal is off. See discussions on the gear page. I sold mine. Ce2w is totally transparent when off. The mxr can be used only through a looper . Man advised .
Agree...I just bought MXR Analog chorus. It dulls tone when not on. You have to check closely. It is going back. I am trying either Boss, Keeley or Walrus Audio Julia next.
Nice demo! Boss sounds warmer and it reminds us of what a chorus should sound like. I like MXR better, it's less in your face chorus with added EQ and levels which is nice for the subtle stuff.
I never thought I would say this (as an owner of an old MIJ CE-2), but I think the MXR chorus is the better pedal here! I'd say it's a bit deeper and sweeter. And the added low/high/level knobs extend the possible range of sounds considerably. And c'mon, that blinding blue led is insanely cool ;-)
The extra controls make the MXR bass friendly. It sounds amazing on bass and I can now contribute tone wise to my bands more atmospheric sections. Originally brought for guitar but double duty ability is always a pleasant surprise.
The Wazacraft does sound quite fantastic, I just have a very personal and intimate relationship with the MXR Analog Chorus🌺❤✌! Though Iwill not deny that the Boss CE-2w has a very warm and lush tone!👍✌
I just upgraded to the MXR from a TC for my rhythm guitar board. I'm a bit of a modulation fanatic as "always on", switching between the mxr AnaCho and a flanger and/or using the EQD Organizer as an octave pad for faux 12 string sounds. I play a cigarbox, so anything to broaden my sound is definitely welcome.
I have the MXR and it sounds good when on, but really sucks tone when off. People saying that it doesn't suck tone should try to A/B it and the results may shock you.
Guys, if you can, turn on subtitles on this "No Talking" video in Spanish :-) Apparently there are a lot of "Papa, no no, musica, no no" hidden there :-)))
The warmth of the ce2w is quite unmatched. I've seen tons of reviews on chorus since it's my favorite sound effect and I always prefer the lush of this ce2w. Strymon Ola and Walrus Julia are good too but not as warm.
Anyone who says the MXR sounds thin or dark may not realize that the Low & High EQ knobs are cut-only. Turn them fully clockwise for flat frequency response. I like the Low EQ in the middle or slightly lower, to keep the low frequencies from getting muddy when using distortion/overdrive. Set the High EQ higher for more dramatic effect.
I absolutely love MXR pedals, they are right up there will Boss, sometimes even better! The Phase 90 and this pedal are sooo good, reasonably priced too! The only thing that sucks is the battery access!
Luis Angel Guitars - “setting”? Both pedals are nice, the Boss probably a bit easier to use. I don’t like the real fast, warbly stuff, just the lush and subtle effect of the MXR. It also handles distortion very well.
I know we're all gonna play a chorus pedal with delay and reverb. But it still would've been nice to hear these chorus settings without the delay and reverb. But from what was presented, the MXR was the winner for me
Great video! MXR wins because of features and price. I think the sound was pretty similar. The level is absolutely necessary for me because I tend to like Chorus in small doses, with the Boss Pedal I can't control how much Chorus I want. I also like the tone controls. The MXR is also less expensive than the Waza Craft, it seems like a no brainer to me.
i have both the original ce2 and mxr, no doubt the ce2 sounds a really great but i prefer the mxr on my board just because it has the level knob and the eq is a bonus too..wish the ce2w has level knob in the future...and i really love with the 'no talking' review..🤟🤟🤟
I like all the MXR pedals that I have (delay and compression) and this one is no exception. Though the light is WAY too bright and hurts your eyes. a little whiteout will do the trick.
Use a piece of blue painter's tape over the blinding LED. I do that on several pedals with the same issue. If you cut it right...looks nice and still let's light through.
One thing that draws me to the Boss is the CE-1 mode, love that sound! But in the normal mode, I think these sound very similar. Build quality is good on both, but better on the Boss. The design if the Boss pedal is better, and resale value will be good, although it is very expensive!
The greatest finding is, Boss Chorus shouldn’t be double the price and more! For the same price I would buy the Boss, just because… with the current pricing, I does not justify to buy the Boss, period. Buy 2 MXRs!!!
Si tienen duda de cual pedal Chorus comprarse. Yo llevo unos 4 años usando el pedal CE-2W y es una maravilla lo uso en mis canciones, por sus funciones da una versatilidad enorme, pero ya es cuestión de que sonido te complazca más.
For me a mix control is crucial so I'm buying the MXR tonight to see if that ticks all my boxes. I'll take a cheap chorus with a mix control over an expensive without mix control any time FWIW. I was young in the 80's so I'm not new to chorus 😆
I love MXR pedals, but I'll never buy another one unless I have no alternative. Reason? The power supply jack right next to the guitar-input is a royal PITA. It should be on the top, where virtually every other pedal puts theirs.
Interesting comparison. I would say the Boss is more effect-y. It adds a different character. While the MXR is more natural to the original instrument. The MXR with all its knobs is able to better refine that natural ability. However, the Boss can offer a more extreme fast wobbly effect that sounds rad. I'd go with the MXR. :)
Boss. I did ages of research and bought the CE-2w... You don't need anything more. It nails the Alex Lifeson tone, I do wish it had a mix knob but honestly.. You really don't need it
I just got the MXR stereo chorus (the yellow 18v one) and it's my favorite one so far. To me something about it sounds better than this one even in mono.
I just tried both of these in a store yesterday, oddly enough. I personally preferred the Boss, especially using the 1 and 2w circuits. I just felt it overall a more sweet and lush sound, and for whatever reason I was struggling to find appreciable chorus sounds from the MXR. Btw I have an MXR Sub Machine fuzz that I absolutely love! I was playing through a Mesa F-50 12” combo.
Very much my experience as well. Tried the MXR first and thought it was nice and liked the EQ options. Then as soon as I activated the Boss it was an immediate, this is it, moment. Just had fullness to the sound that surrounded you where the MXR sounded more focused and narrow. I would not complain about having to use the MXR at all but the Boss just had IT. Found one used in great shape and a happy camper.
The BOSS CE-2 Waza is better because the chorus effect blends and gels with the strings. The problem is the CE-2 doesn't have a blend/effect knob which is important when playing with distortion. The "Dunlop" MXR seems to be too separate from the strings (not glued together), it has an effect knob which is useful when dialing in chorus with distortion - however the MXR has a poor buffer and sounds a little noisy or cheap with distortion.
I sometimes listen to this before bed to help me fall asleep! Excuse my ignorance, but are any of these riffs from actual songs? Very cool demo, and i bought the MXR because of this! Thanks!!
I'm cool with talking but some people dont want it. It never bothered me. I always like to hear your opinions . I own the MXR and really like it but never played the Boss Waza. Cool intro video
Hey mate, yeah, these No Talking videos are just leftovers etc. I shot a new Big Chorus Shootout a couple of days ago (should be online in a couple of days), but then I thought "Hey it would be cool to just show these 2", and so I did a quick one. I too reeeaally like the MXR. It can do both the Standard and the CE-1 setting of the Boss and sounds even better than the Boss (the MXR seems to have a really "strong" signal...hard to explain´, but the guitar sound seems enhanced because of it, while on the Boss it's clearly an effect over your guitar sound---does that make sense?), the only thing is the Boss has a third setting, the CE-1 Vibrato mode that sounds killer. So now I am facing the problem which one to keep. First world problems haha
AllaboutafriendONLINE Ha ha. I understand how that goes. I have problems choosing my pedals too. Way to many out there to he happy, I wish I was one of those guys that can leave their board alone. Lol
AllaboutafriendONLINE if you connected a dummy cable on the “through” input, wouldn’t you get just the effect signal, leaving you with a vibrato sound?
The Boss has a little more subdued quality (like it's further away) that sounds better when you are playing here by yourself. In a mix, I'm almost positive the MXR would cut through better. So, jamming at home, the Boss all day. Live? Probably the MXR. The Boss seems to have more degradation of the repeats. That's the whole point of an analog chorus. If you like cleaner repeats, the digital emulation of an analog can do that and more.
Yeah, if you need the level/mix/blend knob and you like the CE-2 you can get a cheap Boss Super Chorus, pretty much same circuit with Level and Bright knobs. And also analog.
Damn... The LED on the mxr could power the bat signal
Haha yes it could! :-)
LOL
I can barely see my knobs when I'm leaning over mine, It's almost blinding.
Yea why do they do that? I put masking tape over my Carbon Copy's LEDs
shiron b Buy some Blue tape from Home Depot or Michaels craft store. Works great!
Both of these use vintage bucket-brigade analog circuit, basically sound almost identical. the difference is the MXR gives you more parameters to tweak and cost $100 less

MXR is the real winner, can deliver just as well as the legendary CE-2 at significant lower cost AND more features!
MXR chorus shines, literally. 😂🤣

Use MXR Analog Chorus and Carbon Copy together for lead sounds from my Korg Monologue synth ... great combination!
Dude... please make a video of it! Lol
Peach Pit's lead is mostly that combo :)
damn this was what I needed to see. That MXR is fucking nuts. Thats the one.
Great comparison! Mxr can do all the boss can do, but much more. And is half the price! Thank you.
MXR all the way. Nice full watery warm tone to my ears . Boss sounds to me like the treble was turned up to me a few times
Unfortunately it's not much like the original ce2
The MXR level is a great weapon. The Boss Vibrato setting have more speed rate than MXR. But both pedal sounds great. I have a CE-2w and I love the CE-1 mode. Sounds complex and nostalgic.
Love the Boss's CE-1 middle setting. Swooon. There's some weird slight dissonance in there that sounds so complex
OK - thanks, they basically sound identical (at least on TH-cam) so I'm going with my original choice, the MXR.

@@aaron4757 I am my only audience 🤗
I'm going with MXR as well since there's more customization
Love the CE2 ..... But , the MXR is amazing ... No tone sucking problems here.
I keep reading about the tone suck but i haven't come across that unless I'm going deaf 🙃
Do you use your analog chorus through the FX loop?
Love the sound and the price point of the MXR but damn the clarity of the Boss is amazing.

Agree. My MXR was very tone sucking too. Especially it was noticeable after dirt.
NO problems with mine, but I have a Boss TU3 tuner before it which has a buffer that probably negates any tone suck from the MXR.
Exactly.Thats why there is a Boss on my pedalboard

Boss wins for me!
I had MXR. Is sound muddy and sucking tone in bypass. It is especially noticible if put the pedal after dirt.
Had the same impressions with the MXR analog chorus. Too muddy.
I like the MXR a little more? They both sound great, I own the MXR for several years now, it’s always on, very lightly just to beef up a clean signal.
I just upgraded to the MXR from a TC for my rhythm guitar board.

People saying that it doesn't suck tone should try to A/B it and the results may shock you.
Phase 90 is worse, I can live with the analog chorus buffer, but the sound is very shy and boring IMO. I need a M117 Flanger.
Sad news! But thanks for the tip... looking for a great chorus on a deal but hate the tone suck.... should have never sold my CE-2 years ago!
Who cares? Track non-chorus separately.
The Boss has the more iconic sound to my ears although both are great.
Thanks for not talking up storm during this comparison and getting straight to point. It helped me better decide which one I may get.
sometimes tester's are only talking
I used to have the MXR pedal and traded it in for the CE-2W best decision I ever made!
Even trade I hope.

The Boss in CE1 mode sounds very dreamy and mystical. It’s my favourite.
Let's all just take a moment and thank the person/persons who created the first chorus effects. These sound so amazing.
Why?
Just got the mxr I think it really comes down to the amp your running through I love the mxr no complaints. Also got on sale for $79.00
For me a mix control is crucial so I'm buying the MXR tonight to see if that ticks all my boxes. I'll take a cheap chorus with a mix control over an expensive without mix control any time FWIW. I was young in the 80's so I'm not new to chorus 😆

I’ve used the mxr for years and it’s just more “natural” sounding while being deep and lush.
Boss. I did ages of research and bought the CE-2w... You don't need anything more. It nails the Alex Lifeson tone, I do wish it had a mix knob but honestly.. You really don't need it
Do you still like it? I’m having trouble deciding on which chorus pedal to get
Have to go with the MXR as well.
I think using them side-by-side at different depth and rate setting would be a fantastic simulation of the Boss CE-1
The boss seems a bit darker and the mxr seems a bit brighter. Both great, just depends on your taste. I prefer the darker sound.
I just got the MXR stereo chorus (the yellow 18v one) and it's my favorite one so far. To me something about it sounds better than this one even in mono.
+MXR, I'd like to have the Juliana, but can't afford her. So getting the analog chorus, sounds pretty nice here.

And I wish you used stereo channel in this video 😔
I just tried both of these in a store yesterday, oddly enough. I personally preferred the Boss, especially using the 1 and 2w circuits.

Superb demo, I love the Mars Volta Octahedron sounding stuff
very close. i like them both. but the mxr is half the price. i wonder waza boss has to say about that?
I own the mxr and love it. it’s a bit tighter than the boss. I still want a boss for that slightly more pearly sound though
Just chain the Boss with a Small Stone phaser and you're good.
MXR sounds more dreamy IMO, both cool tho. I own the MXR
MXR All Day-much more transparent & a bit more versatile-also better on your cash flow...
I've been looking at this pedal for a while - this video just sold me on it - thanks!
which one? did you get it? how do you like it?
Chris Grabowski aka Lost Smoke - the MXR - still have it.
The BOSS CE-2 Waza is better because the chorus effect blends and gels with the strings. The problem is the CE-2 doesn't have a blend/effect knob which is important when playing with distortion.
The "Dunlop" MXR seems to be too separate from the strings (not glued together), it has an effect knob which is useful when dialing in chorus with distortion - however the MXR has a poor buffer and sounds a little noisy or cheap with distortion.
Such a great video, beautiful selection of notes as well!

If only the Boss Waza has an Effect Level knob. Too wet for me. That MXR sounds btw.
An effects level knob? Like.... the depth knob??
Martin Thibodeaux No, a level knob, just like he said. The level knob allows a blending of wet and dry signal. Depth is a different parameter.
Yeah, if you need the level/mix/blend knob and you like the CE-2 you can get a cheap Boss Super Chorus, pretty much same circuit with Level and Bright knobs. And also analog.
The original CE-2 is the best
Couldn't decide... just got both.
So after a year which one do you prefer?

But what the reverb you used for your demo?
Tengo el MXR y es el mejor chorus que he tenido
この比較動画は良いですね。
どちらの音が好みかわかりやすかったです。
因みに私はMXR派です‼️
Chorus is my fav effect i think both pedals are top teir
mxr sounds great but that LED...it blinds us...
My mxr chorus is almost always on an I can confirm its blinding ahahaha.
I put a piece of gaffer tape over the LED. Still shines enough to see on/off but muted enough so it is no longer blinding.
Bob Kelley good tip ill try that thank you!
The CE-2 sounded way more “dimensional” to me... if you know what I mean.
That’s right 👍🏻
Bingo!!! I couldn’t have said it any better. I had the MXR and had to sell it. I couldn’t put my finger on why I disliked it so much. Thanks you!
綺麗な音で好きです
