POWER/TOOLS Boss CE-2 Chorus 1979-1992

IT MIGHT BE a gross oversimplification to state that the chorus pedal defined the guitar sound of the Eighties, 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.

HOW TO PLAY THIS MONTH'S SONGS

RELEASED AS A single, ahead of Shinedown's upcoming eighth studio album, this simple, well-crafted song, which was no doubt at least partially inspired by Def Leppard's “Hysteria” and U2's “With or Without You,” has guitarist Zach Myers flatpicking eighth notes with a clean bridge-pickup tone, laying down a repeating eight-bar pattern of ringing chordal arpeggios that share three common tones, with only the bass note changing every two bars.
