 I just picked up a boss ce3 chorus that I have been searching for for a while and when it got here I was bummed to find that it passes a very quiet signal, both on and off. Any suggestions would be great.

Welcome to the forum.

Follow the Debugging Page link at the top - in particular use an audio probe to find out where the signal dies down.

Luckily it IS passing a signal, so you have the chance to go in and find where it happens :)  Gives you something to work with!
Audio probe, as GGBB suggested...

Thanks guys,  that probe worked like magic! Bad electrolytic cap at c3. Put in a new film cap there ( and 5 others, since I was already in there!) and it is better than new! Great forum!! Thanks again!!
