I had owned some DOD pedals in my youth but had grown to think of them as low quality (possibly due to the latter day association with Digitech), what I forgot was that in fact the older ones are built like tanks and (as is the case with the FX65) often use the same guts as the pricer corresponding Boss pedals. A vintage FX65 goes for about a 3rd of what a CE-2 of the same era goes for. After some digging I learned that the early FX65's (and to a greater extend the FX60's) were not only based on the Boss CE-2 but also used the same circuit. Still, since I (as a member of the effect pedal universal subconscious) tend to see the CE-2 as the gold standard for analog chorus, so I wasn't done quite yet. However, since I ALSO have a limited amount of money to spend on a pedal that will be used only occasionally, the CE-2 was ruled out early on in my search. I had this insatiable urge for a chorus pedal recently and since I also have an insatiable urge for vintage pedals I started looking at Boss CE-2's.
