CE(FJ)-1 Chorus

[Scruffie]

I love this trend (if trend it be) of re-creating/re-imagining classic circuits of yore with obtainable parts and modern performance (e.g. Thomeque's and others' Electric Mistress work, Ripthorn's PT2399 based Echorec emulation, etc.). I'm not prepared to go down the rabbit hole of faithful reproduction of those circuits, and sure as heck wouldn't shell out for an original, but the idea of a workable near approximation is thoroughly appealing. Nice work, Scruffie, and thanks for sharing!

Exactly my thoughts on the matter, there's definitely a place for both but if you can ignore the metaphorical headstock, a Squier can be just as nice as a Fender and as long as it gives the same 'feel' I don't think the crowd is going to notice which guitar you've got or chip you've put in the box. Well, they probably wont notice much of anything for the time being...

I still maintain that the only thing that was really special about the original CE-1 was that it employed a different LFO waveform for chorus than it did for vibrato.  One can turn pretty much any chorus pedal into a vibrato unit, simply by lifting the dry signal.  But you're still stuck with that triangle LFO.  The CE-1 used the right LFO for the job.  Glad to see you retained it.

That's interesting, I use a CE3 just for a pseudo leslie simulation, maybe a sine modulation would be much more spot on, is there anyone who know if there is a mod to convert the CE2/3 oscillator to sinewave?

Why not include the common mod of a chorus depth control?

Old topic here, but has anyone made a PCB? Preferably a vero, or PCB to purchase

Should be out in the next month or so.

Is it the karaoke chorus

It is! And the boards are on order now, assuming no problems with the prototypes, then it shouldn't be long now.

Will they be sold at site you "works at"?

That's where Haberdasher will sell them, yes.

Anyway to get a parts list, and box size?

A couple of people have PM'd me about if I had a demo, someone has made a short clip of a few settings, here: https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=33856.0
