Ethos Overdrive TLE Tour & Demo

Here's a guided tour and audio demo of the Ethos OD TLE by Custom Tones LLC. I'm using a Warmoth chambered Tele with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, so sonically this guitar has more in common with a full humbucker guitar than a typical Tele. Everything was recorded in Garagband. Skip all that chatter by jumping to the 6:58 mark.

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

@to0ty TLE

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

[DarylJahnke]

@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.

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!

[DarylJahnke]

@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.
