BOSSCH-1 Super Chorus Guitar Effects Pedal

1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
BOSS's long-running analog-voiced chorus in the standard compact enclosure. For guitarists who want shimmer and width on clean tones without a modulation learning curve.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Clean rhythm parts that need width without a second amp
- Funk and clean comping where movement matters more than gain
- First modulation pedal on a small board
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing subtle, barely-there chorus at extreme settings
- Heavily distorted rhythm work where chorus muddies the low end
- Anyone needing tap tempo or preset recall
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Chorus effect
Splits your signal and delays one copy slightly with pitch movement, producing width and shimmer rather than a tonal change.
Detail 03
Touch-sensitive, dynamic response
Picking harder pushes through the effect more clearly, so the chorus sits behind the note instead of blurring the attack.
Detail 04
Stereo-capable design
Two outputs let you spread the effect across two amps, which is where chorus width is most obvious.
Detail 05
Footswitch bypass
One stomp on/off, no presets. You set the sound once and leave it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Power supply or battery is separate. Budget for a 9V adapter.
- 02Stereo width needs a second amp or a stereo rig.
- 03Sits best after drive pedals, before delay and reverb.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the CH-1 work with bass?
It will pass a bass signal, but it is voiced for guitar. Chorus on bass can thin out the low end, so audition it before committing.
02Can I run it in stereo?
Yes, with two amps or a stereo input. In stereo the width effect is much more pronounced than through a single amp.
03Does it come with a power supply?
No. You need a 9V adapter or a battery, both sold separately.
04Where does it go in my signal chain?
After overdrive and distortion, before delay and reverb. Chorus in front of dirt tends to sound wobbly and unfocused.
