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.

Crafted for the Long Haul

Top-Tier Components: Built with premium parts for superior tone and reliability.

Space-Saving Design: Measures 120mm x 94mm x 56mm (including knobs), with top-mounted jacks.

Efficient Power: Runs on 9V DC (negative tip), ~100mA. Power supply not included.

Striking Finish: Features a stunning Black Silver Vein powder coat, blending elegance and Browne’s rugged aesthetic.

The Ethane Dual Overdrive is more than a pedal—it’s a tonal cornerstone for players who value craftsmanship and performance. From small gigs to big stages, it delivers studio-quality sound that elevates your playing. Plug in, crank it up, and let your guitar roar.

Built in tremolo with detachable foot-switch

Midnattssol means “midnight sun” — a truly magical thing for those of us up north to look forward to when summer finally returns and the sun barely sets. It’s a time for love, parties, magic, and adventure.

MIDNATTSSOL is like the final boss of Fuzz Faces and Uni-Vibes — the most party-friendly, lovely, and magical circuits of all.

It features a host of novel — and more importantly, useful — additions to these classic circuits, forming a simple yet comprehensive final little hômmage before I head off chasing completely different ones.

Internally switchable options let you choose between classic Uni-Vibe tones and ReslyTone sounds, as well as Fuzz Face, Zonk II fuzz tones, or an all-new in-between mode.

On top of that, the phasing section offers deep customization — with 256 possible combinations, to be precise.

But the real star here is the novel expression control, which dramatically expands the range of this beautiful circuit, unlocking sounds never heard before.

Alright, have fun!

The Dirt Transmitter is one of the oldest circuits in the EarthQuaker line. The design is Fuzz Face inspired, and the idea started when Jamie Stillman came across some very unique silicon transistors. These transistors are lower gain and have a warmth similar to germanium transistors when overdriven. But they also have the top-end grind typical of silicon-based fuzz pedals, which adds to the mids and helps cut through. The combination of these rare transistors and the starved voltage creates a wide variety of textures at the turn of a knob.

Design Notes

The first Dirt Transmitters started shipping in January of 2008, and these original units were housed in a small enclosure with only three controls: Fuzz, Tone, and Level. Shortly after the release, Jamie decided to add the external Bias control, which opened up the circuit and brought it to life. By varying the Bias the transistor is starved of voltage. The Dirt Transmitter is properly biased when the Bias control is all the way up; when turning it down, the voltage is starved, and the fuzz tone becomes gated. This produces a sputtery ripping velcro tone that increases in character as you roll it back.

In early 2023, Jamie Stillman was invited by legendary guitarist and producer Dave Catching to participate in a recording session at Rancho de la Luna for an album celebrating 30 years of Rancho. Dave, a total sweetheart, has been a massive supporter of EQD both in the studio and while touring, but this was not something Jamie ever expected. A founding member of earthlings? and touring member of numerous bands, including Eagles of Death Metal and Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Catching owns and operates Rancho de la Luna in Joshua Tree, California. Needless to say, Jamie jumped at the chance to go and ended up using the Dirt Transmitter on a lot of the recordings. Jamie was honored to join the cast of world-class musicians and thrilled when they were way into the tones he was getting with this pedal.

Rancho de la Luna, founded in 1993, has hosted some of the world’s most amazing bands and is known for its raw desert vibe. During these sessions, Jamie ended up using the Dirt Transmitter on a lot of the recordings. Jamie was honored to join the cast of world-class musicians and thrilled when they were way into the tones he was getting with this pedal.

After the session, there was talk about doing a pedal release in conjunction with the album, and the Dirt Transmitter was the perfect fit; seeing as it was used so much during the session. Dave was down and the plan was solidified. He suggested we use his friend, Mike Egan, to create some super special Rancho-themed art to celebrate the occasion. It just so happens that Mike is from Ohio and lives just a short drive from EQD headquarters. It all just seemed to fit together perfectly.

We couldn’t be more excited to have worked on this project with Dave. He is such an amazing human, and we’re beyond stoked to bring this to the world.

Controls:

Fuzz: Clockwise for heavier tones, counterclockwise for lighter tones.

Tone: Clockwise for a brighter, more cutting tone, counterclockwise to roll off top end for more mellow tones.

Bias: This is the heart of the Dirt Transmitter, where all of its voices can be found. It affects the voltage to the transistors which will create more gated Velcro® fuzz tones counterclockwise and thicker, natural fuzz tones clockwise. It is “properly biased” at 5 o’clock.

Level: Clockwise for more, counterclockwise for less.
