Pearl Chorus Ensemble CE-22

Pearl Chorus Ensemble CE-22

The Pearl CE-22 Chorus Ensemble is a compact chorus pedal that generates its effect by splitting the input signal and modulating one path against the dry signal. Its primary controls include a Rate knob, which sets the speed of the pitch modulation, and a Depth knob, which determines how strongly the pitch shifts, producing a thicker or subtler chorusing effect. A Mix or Level control adjusts the balance between the unaffected signal and the modulated signal, allowing for anything from a subtle shimmer to a pronounced, warbling texture. The pedal operates in mono, with a standard input and output, and is powered by a 9V battery or an external DC adapter. Its sturdy metal housing is designed for pedalboard use, and the simple three-knob layout makes it straightforward to dial in a range of chorus tones, from slow, sweeping movement to faster, more rhythmic undulation.

User Reviews of the Pearl Chorus Ensemble CE-22

  • Submitted by paddy from United Kingdom (22 points) on Mar 11, 2004
  • Bought this years ago -mid 80's wonderful bit of kit. very lush chorus on left pedal then hit right to bring in delayed vibrato. in stereo its briliant. another good feature is hooking it up in stereo but with the pedal Off, play a rich chord on a synth , then hit the chorus pedal - dry mono to full stereo chorus- simple but VERY effective
  • Good Points: sound and controls I'd love to see someone model a VST plug-in effect version of it !
  • Bad Points: 18 volt--2x 9volt batteries it eats them in a matter of minutes. tracking down an 18 volt power supply was tricky so i built my own
  • Price Paid: US$55.00
  • Purchased At: second hand mid 1980's
