i’ve not used either… either, but a lot of people like the CE-2. just as a lot of people like some other Boss chorus pedals… and pedals from other brands…
and there are also lots of people that don’t like the Small Clone or Polychorus.

for us guitarists/effects-users it’s just great that there are so many choices out there.

when it was released, i watched the demo video and thought it looked/sounded really cool but was a bit ‘effect-y’ for me. i held off for ages until i eventually bought one last year.

the Haz has become a permanent fixture on my main board.

i’m not a big delay user – a Boss DM-3 is my main delay (also have an Akai Headrush and Guyatone 12-Bit) and i don’t often find uses for overly processed ‘effect-y’ sounds but i find the Haz to be a very inspirational pedal. i often record a little loop then build a song around it… the original loop may not end up in the song but it can push me in directions i wouldn’t normally go..
other times i record a loop, then reverse it, or pitch-shift it or whatever and go in another direction.

then there are the more usual delay and reverb sounds, modulation, the reverse ( :love: ) and one of my favourite settings gives a cello-like ‘bowed’ effect.

what i’m trying to say is that, like yourself, i prefer simple pedals but the Haz is definitely worth checking out.
despite what other people say, i don’t find it that hard to use either. maybe i just clicked with it when other people take longer to get to grips with how the controls work in each mode.

the honest answer is: i don’t know.

if you’re getting hum when using your Zoom power supply, then it’ll more than likely be the same if using the LS-2.
i’m pretty sure the 9v ‘output’ on the LS-2 (and TU-2) is just a power ‘thru’.

:thumb: the tones on Siamese Dream were combinations of effects; the Big Muff was just one tool that the Pumpkins used.
that’s not to say the Creamy Dreamer mod DOESN’T get close to the sounds on Siamese Dream.

also, i may be wrong, but i’m pretty sure the Creamy Dreamer wasn’t introduced until 1997 – Siamese Dream came out in 1993.

i don’t know…

on one hand, it said it worked last time it was used (although we don’t know how long ago that was, or how the pedal has been stored) and the only issue mentioned is the missing battery connector.
from the picture it looks pretty good – it doesn’t look like it’s been thrown from any high buildings or anything or abused in any more conventional ways.

but then, for the person to sell it so cheaply would possibly cause me to be wary; either they know something they’re not letting on – even non-working pedals usually sell for more than that, OR they just didn’t know what it’s worth and wanted rid in a hurry.

yeah. i made a tidy profit on it (more than 200 percent!)

i still can’t believe it only cost you £10! :poke:
