It might be a gross oversimplification to state that the chorus pedal defined the guitar sound of the ’80s, but the effect did indeed appear on a hell of a lot of recordings during the entire decade by artists from almost every genre, including new wave, alternative, funk, metal, punk, jazz, country and probably even a few blues tracks.
Although it wasn’t the only chorus effect around at the time, the Boss CE-2 Chorus pedal played a huge role in the popularity and predominance of this effect during this period.
