Just today I spotted a Boss CS-3 Chorus Ensemble pedal, and bought it for a (locally) cheap price.
It sounded pretty good when I tried it. Had a good range of Rate, nice and slow. I have a H2O Liquid Chorus and Echo that easily does the faster wobble Leslie sounds as well as slow.
Most of what I read about this pedal has been relatively negative. I usually prefer the darker warmer sounding chorus sound, rather than the 'tinkly' bright-sounding ones. The pedal did sound a little bit bright, but I feel I can tame that with amp settings or if required just run an EQ pedal with it.
Has anyone here used the CE-3? Is it worth modding it to get rid of any inherent 'high end tinkle' if I desire a darker sound?
Also is it worth doing a bass mod on it, so it'll be like a Boss CE-2B? Ideally I'd like to use this for distorted chorus sounds, even though I'm currently happy with using a Rockman Stereo Chorus/Delay set on a slow speed & low mix to do the job.
