Burger's Ethos Blues

http://www.customtonesinc.com.
The CustomTones Inc. Ethos Overdrive TLE.

Recorded direct to Logic with a little compression and reverb plate added courtesy of Logic's own fantastic and highly underrated plugins.

The guitar was my favourite Y2K Telecaster with Mick Brierley's impeccable pickups.

Nice one Rob.

Dedicated to my friend Brian Cale.

Evening Brett, if you couldn't get your hands on one of these (or the wait might drive you crazy), is there something else out there you might consider? I am looking for something with I can run direct into my recorder and jam silently (with headphones). Any suggestions?

Cheers

@SingleCoilVoodoo Hey Phil! Greetings from South Australia where I'm on the road with James Reyne and INXS. You've just caught me in a little down time. Nice one! Alternatives: I'd go for the Blonde. Cheap, tons of sounds and can be used in all the good ways - amp, recording, direct etc. Cheers, B.

outstanding tone! are you usin the laney amp here?...may I ask you if you learned to play and developed your style all by yourself? or did someone help you in getting started/improve your skills?

cheers from Italy :)

@frenzexperiment No Laney; straight to the computer via an M-Audio Profire 610. I've been playing since '73. I had formal lessons for about 2 years and when my dear old music teacher passed on I continued to teach myself. This is a first take improvisation. I had the tag riff in my head and improvised the rest. There are some strange notes in there that I can't explain (because my theory sucks) but I left it as is because it seemed to have that 'something' that I'd probably ruin in a second run.

Were you using the ethos overdrive pedal straight into the front of the amp?? Or was it into the effects return to bypass the amps preamp. Do you have experience with putting the ethos into the front "and" into an amps effects return so the ethos is the only tone making part of the tone. What did you find?

[Burgerman666]

@nznaturopath In this vid I ran the Ethos straight to the computer via an M-Audio ProFire 610. No amps were involved. Yes, it makes a great standard stompbox to the front of any clean amp or an equally if not better preamp to the effects return of an amp. Unfortunately I had to sell this one to cover some medical expenses and I'm now on a long waiting list like everyone else to buy another. That's life.. :)

@BrokenHeart9107 Thanks, I'm flattered! But, erm, the percussion thing: there's not much of it going on in this track..?

[klextacy]

Wow! Great sounding pedal. Excellent demo. Thanks!

[SingleCoilVoodoo]

@Burgerman666 Outstanding, thanks Brett. Enjoy the time out on the road!

[FrancisFurtak]

Hey brother some nice playing!



[john745745]

damn !!!! i got to get one of those

[PaulDavidMusic]

Nice demo! this was the reason I got on the waiting list for the ethos. I posted a video response of me trying it out with the zendrive, landgraff and klon... Hope that's cool?

[blave549]

Great demo dude, and nice playing. My Ethos is on its way to me, after >1 year having ordered one. I can't wait!

Like the bass on this pedal alot...That's what fattens the sound for my ears...besides, of course, the big push it gives too. Makes my chords sound a lot more like pat martino's chords...rough and tough.
