I love my Cure amp, and I especially love dialing in gain with the volume knob and adjusting how loud it is with the level. But it's not really a high gain amp, per se. I recently picked up an Ethos TWE-1 (modeled after a Trainwreck Express) and it sounds great through the Cure. Here's a video I threw together to show a buddy of mine. Kind of meandering, but really just to show how adjusting the volume knob on the guitar really changes the gain. Pretty high gain, so I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea. Pedal is on the whole time:

Yeah, that sure does have a lot of low end presence.

That sounds pretty good. I need to look into that pedal.

Yeah, that sure does have a lot of low end presence. It has a "4x12" / "2x12" mini toggle. That 4x12 setting adds a ton of bottom end. Really cool!

It sounds great! I’m going to have to look at these pedals too. It cleans up nice.

After our new friend grego7 posted about this pedal, I made a fatal mistake and went looking at the other online demos. I think it sounds incredible...and the way it cleans up is what finished it for me.
Mine is due to be delivered tomorrow.

Mine is due to be delivered tomorrow. I think you'll really like it! It might take a little time to dial it in just right. Can very easily sound too bright / harsh and TOO high gain, but working with the hi cut control, bright and presence will definitely get you great sounds. That 4x12 setting is such a great feature. And thanks for the nice comments, folks. Glad people are finding this clip useful

And thanks for the nice comments, folks. Glad people are finding this clip useful It really is very high gain. Sounds really good, and it does clean up very very well. But even at 9:00 it is a beast for gain! I do think it's going to be on my board for quite a while. There are pre and post gain bright/presence switches plus the Hi Cut control. Finding the sweet spot gives a really huge tone that has great bark but won't bite your head off with the treble. Very cool pedal.

Nicely done video! Great tones! I think Ethos TWE-1 sales are going up due to your post alone! Great playing too!

Update on the TWE-1 pedal with the Cure. Rehearsal tonight with my Firebird and the TWE-1 was really fun. It's an amazing pedal and the Cure loves it. I really dig the way that it cleans up with GV. And very little loss of highs when you turn it down either. Crank it up and you're in heaven. I was warming up softly when the rest of the band was filtering into the church where we rehearse, and one of the sax players walked up and said, "That really sounds good!". I dig it when a horn player compliments my tone! I read in another post that it teams very well with the new KODA pedal too. My KODA will be here tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to checking out how they work together. It's going to be a fun week.

I was playing mine tonight and figured what the heck, let's mix in the mid-boost LOL Really surprised me how well it complemented the TWE-1. Plus all of that volume knob responsiveness is maintained. But just helps the lower volume settings really jump out.
