Here's a short clip of the Boss DC-2 Dimension C vs the Modded Boss CE2 Chorus.

00:00 - Boss DC-2
00:15 - Boss CE-2
00:30 - Boss DC-2
00:47 - Boss CE-2

Both are awesome chorus pedals for guitar. The DC2 sounds cleaner, more open and less compressed. The Modded CE2 has little more sparkle to it but breaks up a little bit and sounds a lot more compressed than the DC2.

Tracks were recorded using the following:

DC2 vs CE2

Here's clips on the sound of several Taylors. No form of dynamics or time-based processing was done. This is exactly how the guitars sound through the microphones in the room. 
Each guitar was played with this sequence
- open chords being strummed
- open chords being plucked
- barre chords being strummed
- barre chords being plucked
- single strums on barre chords
- single strums on open chords
The guitars are as follows:
00:00 - 414ce (2010)
01:57 - 614ce (2005)
03:52 - 614ce (2003)
05:48 - 814ce (2011)
All guitars recorded using a matched pair of Cardioid Oktava MK012 Modded by Michael at <a href="http://OktavaMod.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">OktavaMod.com</a>. The microphones were placed X/Y, 3" from the guitar, right where the neck meets the body.
There is also an Omni Sterling Audio ST69 placed 5' away, 7' up, used as a room microphone.
The second track is just the signal coming from the Taylor Expression System of each guitar.
All guitars sound great overall. All of them have nice bright, sparkly highs and tight lows. Below are just the main differences between them.
The 414ce has less mids among the four. It does not project as loudly as the other three.
The 2005 614ce is brighter than the 414ce and 814ce. It's got great projection.
The 2003 614ce is brighter than the 414ce and 814ce, and also has warmer more prominent mids compared to the 2005 614ce. It's got great projection.
The 814ce has the most balanced sound over the whole frequency spectrum compared to the other 3. It's got great projection.
The Taylor ES is great. Both 614ce's have the older ES though, and you can hear that the noise floor is much higher on the older ES. The newer ES's on the 414ce and 814ce are much quieter, probably due to their greater dynamic range. Whether new or old, the Taylor ES sounds awesome anyway.
Please excuse the not so good playing too!
