Truthfully, the Ibanez Mini was much juicier with an enveloping swirl, while the Boss Waza sounded strident with a harsher swirl. The options may be nice to have but just don't have the tone and lush feel of the Ibanez. Thanks for the comprehensive demo, you saved me a hundred bucks!
Great comparison! I have both, one thing I noticed though, is that the Ibanez causes a slight drop in the low frequencies of the main signal when engaged, while the Boss doesn’t .
Where I live, I could buy 3 Ibanez Chorus Minis for the price of the Boss. Also, now all pedals are made with SMDs, the large Boss enclosure is just wasted space. An old trick to get stereo chorus is: split the output of your guitar/synth/whatever, run one cable straight into your audio interface, run the other cable into the chorus. Pan hard left and right in your DAW, and voila, you have a wide stereo effect!
Thank you for this review! Great review with great comparison on practical features. The ibanez analog design with thicker & lushier tones did it for me. Just ordered one for my bass setup! :)
I own the big purple chorus and I also have the wazza craft boss chorus, the Ibanez wins on tone and cutes more, the boss one doesn’t even get any close at all. Ibanez wins
I think you should have used or not used the pick on all 3 examples - the clarity you get with the pick in the CE1 examples makes it jump out from the three for me! But was happy with the Ibanez until then, I don't think you could go wrong with it at that price.
Ibanez Soundtank CS5 sounds even better, IMO, just picked up one in mint condition for $50 AUD, which is about $35 USD. The Ibanez mini chorus is somewhere between $130-170 AUD, Boss CE-2W is way over $300!
Thanks for showing the noise floor! All demo videos should do this but yours is the first video I’ve seen that did. Well done!

I really like boss pedals but for this one.. the Ibanez by tko
I went for the Ibanez. To my ears, the sound is amazing!

For fast tone comparison

We need this kind of comparisons !
I find those tiny knobs terrible because when I play live, I often turn knobs with my feet. I like your videos, so I subscribed.
thank you for your excellent way to describe each of one! Congrats!
Thank you! 😃
I have both, but prefer the Ibanez (though I prefer the original CE-2 to either of them). Ibanez has a slight mid-hump btw
Thanks for the technical way you do it.

Great video man I don't know how you don't have more susbcribers
Thank you!
the reponse is : Thank you :-D
Nice review
I got the Ibanez because of you xD

The Mix knob is mandatory, especially if you use distortion with the chorus. Hence why even a mooer ensemble king is still better than the Boss now.
John Squire used an Ibanez Chorus
excellent review and shootout
Great video!
the ibanez mini SLAPS on bass
Excelent! Thanks!
The Ibanez sounds way better.
Lol get better ears
@@edreed5571 No. You. 🤣
I luv shrek
The Ibanez sounds better to me.
Demoing modulation pedals using the whammy bar is poor judgment
Tell that to EVH
@@ryanc7396 This guy isn't EVH
Your channel has no content. When are your demos coming out?
I don't know how but you made all modes on CE-2 sound like vibrato. Phase cancelation of stereo mode? Very bad video. Just waist of time.
So much talking. Came here to hear the pedals. Gave up as there is hardly any playing.. Won't be coming back to your channel.
Sir, this is not an airport, there is no need to announce your departure 😆
