I finally got mine (in France), after 1 week of searching the lost package ... but it was worth the wait ! it's like having all my Christmass presents all at once, but 2 weeks later ! GREAT small device, I know this one will be a real keeper and already know some of my pedals will be on sale very soon ! the only things missing here would be an integrated tuner and the ability to power other pedals, such as a Wah ... but right here, the product satisfies me at 99.99% !!!! THANKS again !!!!! I will come back here giving my feedback, having only tested here today with a small power cabinet and an headphone .... this evening, the Carr will roar !!!!

Nice work man! I like the Back and Black feature on the CFD 😀

Patiently waiting on the waiting list, hope that won’t be long

I have an Ethos Overdrive that I love. I run it as pre-amp direct into an HX Stomp with all my cab sim and reverb/delay. I would love to see a video giving a rundown of that pedal if you get a chance. Thanks for all the hard work and time you've put into crafting these pedals! I greatly appreciate it!

[@JDHutson]

I'm loving mine even with the older Fractal FX8, but I also have an HX FX. The cab sim output is balanced (TRS), but it's not stereo (as in, running your HX in the loop), right?

[@ethosguitarfxbycustomtones9762]

@@JDHutson Yes, that is correct, it is mono. Thank you, Robbie

[@JDHutson]

Thanks for making this video. Loving my CFD!

[@franckrichard8077]

Okay, this is a GREAT product, I think it will become the Core of my entire set up. With the Headphone Yamaha WL500 plugged into the headphone output, I can jam all night on backing tracks. Plugged into my Carr Rayleigh, it's a great tool to play at home too (great Fender and Dumble sounds !!!) For small rig or jam with my band, I will plugg it into an Henriksen BUD (6 or 10, I don't know yet, I will try them both next Saturday). So, what can I add ? this product is sooooo well designed !!! My best friend told me to purchase the new little pedal from Kemper (about the same price), but I see no point getting this pedal since I will spend all my precious time on a computer in order to create presets allowing me to nail the sound I already have on the Ethos CFD !!! For people loving the sound of Robben, Mayer, SRV or EJ, this is a great tool (tested with a PRS NF3 for "single coil" sounds and PRS CU22 for humbucker sounds). Best buy of 2024 for me (I know, it's only the beginning )

Hi Franck, so happy you eventually got your ECFD and are enjoying it! Best! Robbie

I own the original Ethos Clean Fusion, with the extra bass,mid,high EQ mini-pots on the back. As the name implies, its real value is in its clean sound. Either as a preamp or front-of-amp mode, it's gorgeous, fat, and stunningly clear. The effects loop is great for a delay or chorus. I have complete control of my tone with any amp. It's always in my signal chain. The unit has a "Soft Drive" switch, which does provide a reasonably smooth OD. The footswitch-activated Fusion Overdrive is not the kind of OD sound I prefer, although I expect it will appeal to most folks who like solid state ODs in general. For my part, I prefer the feel and response of tube OD; it's just a personal preference. Toward that end, the Fusion OD with the gain down and the volume up provides a good boost for a separate tube OD. My Ethos Clean Fusion pedal's build quality is superb. Custom Tones LLC stuff isn't cheap, but it's priced right for its superior quality. Based on my experience with the original Clean Fusion, the flexibility of both the F and D channels on the Clean Fusion Deluxe should provide everything you could ever want for a clean front end for shaping your tone. And I suspect that, if you like solid state OD, it's probably the only OD pedal you'll ever need.

Man, I wish I could test drive one of these with the powered speaker.

[@m4ssi86]

I have one and i just ordered a second one.

[@mthao1832]

silly question, can you make a custom twe-1 with a built in 100 watt power amp ? It’s my favorite preamp dist pedal

[@GuitarTeleMan]

Question - what cable do I need to use to ruin it out of CFD SPK SIM OUT into the new Fender Frfr Tonemaster cabinet? If it's a TRS, does the end going into the amp have to also be a TRS? Thanks

[@ethosguitarfxbycustomtones9762]

Hi Guitar Tele Man, If the Tonemaster input is a TRS then use a 1/4" stereo cable. If its a mono input, then use a standard guitar cable. Thanks! Robbie

[@Dang...]

Beautiful tones! One question about the intro clean tones: Is that just the pedal's reverb, or is some delay mixed in? thank you.

[@ethosguitarfxbycustomtones9762]

Thank you, The intro is using the ECFD's reverb, No other effects were used.

[@Dang...]

Thank you. Lush sounding. @@ethosguitarfxbycustomtones9762

[@adamragland5685]

It's an onboard plate reverb

[@Dang...]

@@adamragland5685 Sounds excellent.

[@musiccreation1198]

Brilliant piece of kit. Resistance is futile.
