andertons reverb pedal Browne Amplification Ethane Dual Overdrive

When we set out to create the Ethane with Browne Amplification, we knew we wanted something that wasn’t just another overdrive—it had to be something truly special. 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. We worked closely with the Browne team to make sure this pedal wasn’t just versatile, but inspiring. Whether you're stacking for leads or using each side on its own, the Ethane gives you tones that feel alive under your fingers. And of course, it looks the part too!” - Lee Anderton, May 2025

Designed in collaboration between Andertons Music Co. and Browne Amplification, 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. With only 200 being made and just 100 being sold in the UK exclusively by Andertons, the Browne Amplification Ethane will be one you don’t want to miss!

Ethane Dual Overdrive by Browne Amplification

Built for players who demand the best, the Ethane Dual Overdrive fuses two of Browne Amplification’s most revered circuits—the Carbon V2 and the Gritador—into one expertly crafted pedal. Designed in Kansas City, the Ethane delivers unmatched versatility, road-ready durability, and tone that inspires. This is the overdrive for players with a passion for quality and a passion for tone.

Carbon V2 Side: Bluesbreaker Perfected

The Carbon V2 side reimagines the Bluesbreaker with Browne’s signature refinements. From sparkling clean boost to fiery overdrive, it offers dynamic response and a 3-way high-cut toggle to shape highs for stacking or brighter rigs. Whether you’re dialing in Mayer-esque leads or crisp rhythm tones, the Carbon V2 shines with clarity and depth. 

Gritador Side: Screamer Redefined 

The Gritador reworks the Tube Screamer with a balanced midrange, robust low end, and asymmetrical clipping for a lively, vocal drive. From SRV’s bluesy grit to modern rock edge, the Gritador delivers tight, articulate overdrive that punches through without harshness. 

Stack Responsibly

The Ethane’s dual design lets you stack the Carbon V2 and Gritador for a vast tonal palette—from warm boosts to soaring leads. The Carbon V2’s headroom complements the Gritador’s mid-forward bite, creating lush, harmonically rich sounds. Soft-switching with adjustable startup state and internal split mode ensures seamless pedalboard integration.
