Now with 5 x Switchable Mods!

True Bypass, Depth, Pot, Buffer & new Boost 'N' Blend!

Our flagship pedal, a faithful, meticulously crafted recreation of the classic BOSS ® CE-1 chorus/vibrato, utilising the more common NOS MN3007 bucket brigade chip instead of the rare 1970's BBD used in the PastFx Chorus Ensemble Deluxe.

What is it?

The PastFx Chorus Ensemble MN3007 (CE-7) is a modified PastFx Chorus Ensemble Deluxe ,using the less obsolete NOS MN3007 BBD.

The (CE-7) uses the same PCB as the Deluxe, is almost identical with components and is attractively priced.

The (CE-7) operates off the same bipolar voltages, the exact same preamp section, and incorporates both switchable Depth and Buffer Mods.

Stereo/ Mono Outputs. In a Stereo setup, wet signal is directed to the Stereo jack and Dry to the Mono output jack.
Vibrato controls are Depth & Rate
Chorus is controlled by Intensity knob (which controls both rate and depth)
When effect is bypassed the LFO LED indicator remains on without flashing
Pedalboard friendly, uses minimal real estate and operates off industry standard (9VDC negative tip 2.1mm )
The (CE-7) incorporates up to 5 extra popular switchable Mods
The Mods can all be switched off, restoring to the original circuit or selectively activated by taste. These include:

Depth Mod

This mod is popular for those who were wanting more control over their chorus effect.

When activated it allows the use of the Vibrato Depth knob to control the Chorus Depth. The Stock depth setting of the Chorus can still be achieved by turning the Vibrato Depth knob fully clockwise.

Buffer Mod

The activation of the Buffer circuit can help restore some of the high frequencies. It is more noticeable when the Input sensitivity switch is on high. The (CE-7) inbuilt buffer circuit can be added or removed as desired.

Note: When clipping the signal heavily by having the Level control on high, it can give various responses based on what type of amp is being played through.

On some amps it can almost sound like a fuzz, and on others a more traditional crunch sound! This is the same experience with the Deluxe.

Stereo True Bypass Mod

When activated, the Stereo True Bypass mod allows for both outputs to be … you guessed it, True Bypass!

Pot Mod

When activated, changes the default level control potentiometer value from 50K to 500K resistance.

As the Original Ce-1 was designed with keyboards in mind, many guitarists who owned original Ce-1 pedals would replace the 50K pot for a higher value.

All 4 mod switches are located inside back of unit.

Adjust to taste.

Boost 'N' Blend

The switchable Boost ‘N’ Blend mod allows the user to customise the chorus output levels and wet and dry

signal balance. Switching both Wet & Dry slide switches to “MOD'' position allows the 2 white trimpots to be

activated. This will allow an increase or reduction of the overall level of the Wet modulated & Dry

signal. By simply adjusting the trims, it is possible to change the stock wet/dry blend ratio. For those

wanting a “cleaner” chorus, the external level control can be turned down and the two internal boost trims

can increase the overall level to match unity. The opposite can also be achieved, for those wanting to push

the “Preamp Crunch'' hard but retain unity with the True Bypass level. Simply turn the Level control to

maximum and use the internal trimpots to reduce the overall level to match.
