Features

The BOSS CEB-3 is a chorus unit that is specifically designed for electric bass guitar.

The CEB-3 allows you to select the frequency band to which the chorus effect will apply. That is, you can have the effect applied to the overall sound, or only a specific frequency range if you wish.

Using the two channel outputs, deeper chorus effects can be created.

1. AC Adaptor Jack

Accepts connection of an AC Adaptor (op-

 

 

 

 

tionally available BOSS PSA-Series). By

 

 

using an AC Adaptor, you can play with-

 

 

out being concerned about how much bat-

 

 

tery power you have left.

 

 

* Use only the specified AC adaptor (PSA-

3

 

 

Series), and make sure the line voltage at the

 

6

installation matches the input voltage

 

 

 

 

specified on the AC adaptor's body. Other

 

 

 

AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or

 

 

 

be designed for a different voltage, so their

 

 

 

use could result in damage, malfunction, or

 

 

 

electric shock.

 

 

* As soon as you connect the AC adaptor, the

unit is turned on.

 

*

If there is battery in the unit while an AC

 

 

 

 

 

adaptor is being used, normal operation will

 

 

 

continue should the line voltage be interrupted

2. CHECK Indicator

This indicator shows whether an effect is ON/OFF, and also doubles as the Battery Check indicator.

The indicator lights when an effect is ON.

*If this indicator goes dim or no longer lights while an effect is ON, the battery is near exhaustion and should be replaced immediately. For instructions on changing the batteries, refer to “Changing the Battery” (p. 11).

*The CHECK indicator shows whether the effect is being applied or not, and is used to indicate other effects. It does not indicate whether the power to the device is on or not.

3. OUTPUT A (MONO)/ OUTPUT B Jack

The output jacks are used to connect the unit to an amplifier or another effects unit.

*For monaural output, use Output jack A. Both the dry and processed signals are output.

*For stereo use:

Output A: Only the processed signal (pitch modulated sound) is output. The dry (unprocessed) signal is not output.

Output B: Only the dry signal is output.

The CEB-3 adopts the “space synthesis system” for stereo output. That is, the depth of the effect varies depending on the distance between speakers. Note that lowering a filter control knob or effect level too much will shift the sound image to the Output B position, and therefore diminish the effect. Experiment with different as you play the instrument
