Active ingredient – <\/span><\/b>The colorful sound of the Boss CE-1 preamp.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Recommended for – <\/span><\/b>Those who consider John Frusciante’s tone as a sonic reference.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Boss CE-1 was the first “compact” chorus pedal on the market, designed not only for the guitar but for electric instruments in general. For this purpose, its operation depended on an always active preamp that allowed selecting a high or low impedance input signal – however, this preamp remains active even when the Chorus itself is turned off. In other words, even in bypass, this preamp, which also features a gain control, affects the guitar signal.<\/span><\/p>\n

This characteristic did not go unnoticed by its most famous users, John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Dean DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) – and the sound of the CE-1 preamp became an integral part of their clean tone and that of many other guitarists. However, besides being an expensive and rare pedal, these are very old units that require direct plug-in power, in addition to being famously noisy.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Chili Pre brings only the circuit of the classic preamp, allowing it to be turned off (with true bypass operation), and the power system converted to the standard 9v (internally converted to +14\/-13v, just like the original). It offers all the richness of color and the significant gain provided by the CE-1 preamp at your feet, ranging from a clean boost\/tone enhancer to a low-gain drive.<\/span><\/p>\n
