Boss

Boss Corporation, a division of Roland, first gained fame as a premier manufacturer of guitar effects pedals, creating iconic units that shaped the sound of countless guitarists worldwide. However, over time, Boss expanded into the world of studio effects, crafting gear that brought their innovative effects expertise into recording environments. Known for their compact, half-rack-sized units, Boss introduced the Micro Studio Series, a collection of affordable, space-saving effects ideal for home and project studios.

Among Boss’s full-rack studio offerings, two products stand out: the Boss CE-300 Super Chorus and the DE-200 Digital Delay. The CE-300, a lush analogue chorus unit, offered a more affordable alternative to Roland’s Dimension D, a revered but pricey choice for spacious, rich choruses. The DE-200, similarly, provided users with a quality digital delay option at a fraction of the cost of Roland’s high-end delay processors. While the DE-200 remains respected, it’s the CE-300 Super Chorus that has gained notable cult status, prized today for its warm, shimmering sound that captures the essence of Boss’s early approach to studio gear.
