Product code: Boss sold CE-300 Super Chorus [modded & serviced]
sold Fantastic unit recently Modded to receive “synth level” signals according to the Don Solaris Gearspace thread [more info below] the unit has also been completely recapped & cleaned.

Boss CE-300 gain mod (for keyboards)
- this mod lets you use CE-300 for synths (original design was for guitar impedance / levels)
Intro
This unit represents the classic Roland chorus sound in some way similar to Dimension series, yet little bit different in modulation. It is still true analog based design with BBDs. The problem however is the signal level and input impedance. This effect expects a low signal source (guitar) at the input and an amp (gain unit) at the output. In typical synth studio the setup is however a little bit different, or somehow reverse so to say. Because we want a unit to accept the full level signal of the synth (to maximize s/n ratio) and then add little or no amplification at the output (unity gain). If you connect a synth with max output gain to the CE-300, you'll soon overload the input stage, while output will be quite silent forcing you to add gain (and noise) at the console. This mod solves both of these issues and converts CE-300 into a keyboard signal-level unit.
