I've owned the Boss CE-5 for a long time. The Chorus Ensemble is one of the most popular chorus pedals built by the Roland subsidiary, right behind the CH-1 Super Chorus.

Although the CE-5 was first introduced as an analog pedal in 1991, the current iteration – or “new” – CE-5 features a revised digital circuit, launched in 2001.
