“A quality tone conditioner to have in front of your amp”: Boss BP-1W Booster/Preamp review

The CE-1 Chorus Ensemble and the RE-201 Space Echo may be long-gone 1970s designs, but they live on – and perhaps not in their original, intended roles. 

While the CE-1 provided luxurious chorus and vibrato and the RE-201 offered mellifluous tape echoes, those effects were coloured and enhanced by the sound of the preamps in each unit, something that guitarists found that they favoured, at times using the units with the effects bypassed just for the extra that the preamp offered.
