“I’ve always loved the Carbon and the Gritador individually, but the idea of fusing them into one pedal so that the tones could be easily stacked? That was the dream. The Carbon gives you that refined Bluesbreaker tone – clear, dynamic, and incredibly responsive (think John Mayer) – while the Gritador brings that rich, vocal midrange and punch that just sings through a mix (think Stevie Ray Vaughan!). And when you stack them together, your guitar will just sing.” – Lee Anderton, 2025
Designed by Browne Amplification exclusively available in the UK from Andertons Music Co, the Ethane Dual Overdrive is the fusion of two of Browne’s most revered and coveted circuits, the Carbon and the Gritador. Generally accepted as the ultimate tone-chasers’ go-to overdrive combination, the Ethane is Brownes heavily tweaked and modified take on the Bluesbreaker/Tube Screamer amalgamation, offering an uncompromised vocal-like tone, powerful dynamics and an overall feel that keeps you coming back for more. The first edition of this pedal came in a Black Silver Vein finish; the current version features an ‘Aqua Copper Vein’ enclosure. Delish!
Key Features
- Ultimate Fusion – The perfect marriage of Browne’s Carbon Bluesbreaker-voiced overdrive in combination with their TS-Style Gritador for the ultimate John Mayer/SRV blues-rock tones.
- Top-Tier – As with all pedals from Browne Amplification, every component from the stunning powder-coated enclosure to the thought-out electrical parts is built for superior tone and a lifetime of reliability.
Carbon
Starting from the foundations laid by the coveted Bluesbreaker circuit, the Carbon pushes this circuit to new levels with improved volume, gain, dynamics and EQ range. This versatile transparent drive is the foundational overdrive to any rig, the pedal you’ll never want to be without. From sparkling edge of break-up to crisp and dynamic overdrive, the Carbon is the perfect natural sounding light to mild overdrive for any rig.
Gritador
Push any setup to the next level with the Gritador, Browne Amplifications’ take on the legendary TS-type circuit. Modified for a fuller low end, more rounded and less nasally mid-range hump as well as a more dialled in and more refined clipping stage. The Gritador is perhaps the most refined and polished take on the pedal that helped make rock scream!
