Johnny Winter

Winter's late-career floor path is a single blue CE-2 Chorus, kept on all night before his treble-heavy Music Man combo.

Premier Guitar filmed Winter demonstrating the touring rig and states that the CE-2 remained on all night. In his 2011 Vintage Guitar interview, Winter independently names the same BOSS chorus alongside his Music Man 4x10, Lazer and Firebird. His detailed 1988 interview explains that he generally avoided effects, identifies the blue chorus as his then-current exception, and separates it from earlier wah and Phase 90 periods. Those older effects are therefore not merged into this 2012 board.
