CE-2 clone recommendations

[Bass Culture]

I bought a Boss CE-2 probably 40 years ago, which I used extensively in earlier bands, and then mothballed for years when my band activity reduced.  Stupidly, in a fit of generosity, I gave it to the guitarist of a band I was playing in about 10 years ago.  Predictably, in more recent years I've been enjoying using chorus when noodling at home, especially on fretless, and have tried 2 or 3 others since - including a CEB-3 (I think) and, currently, an EBS Unichorus - and none have sounded as good as the CE-2 (to my ears).  Short of asking for it back again, is there anything out there that sounds like or emulates the CE-2?  I'm not asking for your favourite chorus pedal recommendations, I'm asking if there's anything that sounds the same as a CE-2.  Thanks all.

The little Mooer Ensemble King sounds bang on to my ears, with the advantage of having a level control.

 

I have an old CE-2 from 1989 and the Mooer and they can be dialled in the same.

Thank you.  I'll check that one out for starters.

Tone City Angel Wing is supposed to modelled off a ce2

The Boss CE-2B uses the same BBD circuit and clock driver as the CE-2. They're discontinued but they're not ridiculously expensive, around £130 on Reverb.

There was just one capacitor difference between the two - Aionfx's clone kit mentions this: https://aionfx.com/project/azure-analog-chorus/

The Joyo JF-37 Analog Chorus (not Vintage Chorus, that one is an Ibanez clone) is a Boss CE-2 clone as well.
