Overview
Boss released its first pedal, the CE-1 after the "chorus" effect proved popular among guitarists with its use in the JC-120 and JC-60 Jazz Chorus amplifiers, released by Boss's parent company, the Roland Corporation. The pedal was housed in a large enclosure, typical for effects at the time, and featured two footswitches for on/off and to toggle between the unit's vibrato and chorus effects. The pedal worked in mono and stereo, and its "thick, spatial, and multidimensional" quality inspired numerous other companies to copy the pedal. Andy Summers of The Police was a notable fan, using the CE-1 on songs like "Message in a Bottle" and "Don't Stand So Close To Me."
