"Really loving the
Ethos AMP.
Been playing gigs
with no tubes,
first time in 30+
years of gigging,
never thought this
would happen."

       "WOW!!!

  This Lil Pedal Amp
       is just
  Blowing my Mind!!!"
  Steve Kubojiri 6/2012





"...I received my Ethos TLE two days ago and I'm still in Shock.

This isn't a 'pedal' even though it looks like one. IMHO the Ethos TLE is one of the finest 'Musical Instruments' I've ever seen or heard.

The sonic purity, range of tone
& lush voice make it impossible for me to call this a mere 'pedal'.

It is one of those
rare instruments
that can inspire
you to new heights and has given this 'old dog' a much needed kick in the backside.

Robbie...you're a
genius in my book.
A tone guru of the highest order.
I mean every word...

Simply Amazing.

I tried the Ethos
direct into my PA today (Good sized Mackie 4 way system)
and again I was
blown away how it sounded. I know
now how it'll sound direct in a studio situation.

Kudos again for a superior product."

Thank you!!

"Thanks a million
for the Ethos Amp,
I am loving the tone
and sensibility
on the touch!!!!..."

"...just fat,
pregnant
single notes
and chimey,
sustaining
Fender-y type
tones.
Sparkley
and full...
a very rich tone
that I became
addicted to
immediately."

Ethos is defined as
"The distinctive spirit
of a culture
or an era."

Product Overview

The Ethos Overdrive was inspired by one of the most sought after boutique guitar amplifiers ever made.  Extensive time and attention to detail were required to emulate the tone and responsiveness of this amplifier. 

The key to the Ethos tone, is its ability to transition from clean to overdriven tones just by the articulation of the guitar pick or guitar volume control.  The Ethos not only offers great tone and touch sensitivity, it also provides a high degree of flexibility in one compact package.  It provides two independent channels with an integral boost function resulting in 3 different foot switch selectable sounds. 

Ethos Overdrive Excels in Many Applications: 

• 2 Independent Channels added to your guitar amp      

• Direct Interface for PA, Studio, PC, Direct Recording

• Preamp for a power amp/speaker combination

• The Ethos Amp offers all of the above plus an integrated 30 watt power amp.   Compact, Flexible, Powerful, Rugged.
