awesome video, lovely playing, beautiful sound, thank you for recording and posting, waht a pedal that ethos is. been on the waiting list a year, about another 6 months to go i think.
good work fellah,,,i an i got one of these pedals with the tle,,,,,i put it through a boger shiva....hours of entertainment,,,,,i work pro in far east a lot,,,amazing how this sound translates,,,seems universally appreciated,,,i think the ethos is the best of the clones
@furtherfiction Thanks, I appreciate it. The Tele body is alder, though a guitar tech that carved the heel for me (to give it the rounded heel of Fender's American Deluxe series) said it didn't look anything like alder to him, so I don't know what to think. Anyway, there's not much wood there, it's pretty feather light, so perhaps it doesn't matter much. And yes, it's a pretty balanced sound, though there's really no high end tele bite; my Gibson 339 has more snap.
@muzichan … more guitar info: the neck is flame maple/rosewood, standard Warmoth profile, compound radius with the vintage truss rod (to keep it light) and fairly modest frets. Can't remember the gauge, but not beefy. Also, in the interest of lightness I put Sperzel "Sound-Lok" tuners. Don't know if they've improved these recently, but my set is an example of the sloppiest manufacturing and quality control I've ever seen. I was appalled. I sent an email, never heard back. Gotohs from now on.
With all the really generic sounding guitar playing on youtube, I found your demo very refreshing. My Ethos is due in December. Maybe then I can loose that tired pentatonic rock/blues style I have and move up to this kind of playing.
Nice work - much appreciated. I just got my Ethos after a 13 month wait, and so far I'm pretty impressed with its tone and more importantly - *variance* of tone. The tone controls are quite powerful and like you, I dig the versatility of having a clean channel in a pedal. Although I haven't tried it yet, I have high hopes for this thing going through a modified Bogen amp driving a Dr. Z 2x10 cab.
Now, please send me your chops in a USPS flat rate shipping box - I'll gladly pay the postage 8^) .
@mhandel I went out of the Ethos and into an Apogee One audio interface. So there's no tone shaping other than the Ethos. The reverb is in Garage Band.

@espgold The boost has no impact on the clean channel, which is how I like it. Whatever overdrive setting I'm using I want to be able to hit one switch to get back to a consistent clean sound. Though I definitely tailor the clean channel to contrast the bypassed sound, so I have 2 clean options to revert to, either of which is available with the push of a single switch.
@DCooper720 Thanks! You're going to have a great time with it. I just produced a quick, live off the floor quintet session yesterday and had the guitar player go straight from his G&L strat into the Ethos and then straight into an SSL mixing console. Worked like a charm and sounded awesome.
Your playing is very tasteful. The tone is beautiful.

Hey Daryl, excellent playing! I was wondering whether your model was the TLE or Classic version. Thanks!

Sounds great! Hey just out of curiosity which body woods are used on the tele? It has a great balance!

This is a great demo! I actually came across your video after a search for "chambered tele". What kind of woods are used in the guitar? Thanks!

Hey that sounds really nice. Are you running into the audio input of the computer or into a preamp like a Fast Track Pro or something? Good stuff.

Great job on this demo, and really nice playing. I'm curious if the boost can be activated on the clean channel, sort of like a clean boost?
