Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.52% — moderately similar

The Beetronics Custom Shop Fatbee Alliance Overdrive is a limited custom shop edition of the Beetronics Fatbee, a transparent JFET overdrive designed with legendary pedal designer Howard Davis. The Fatbee circuit delivers warm, harmonically rich overdrive that enhances an amplifiers natural character without imposing heavy coloration. Custom Shop versions feature unique hand-painted artwork and limited production runs. The Alliance finish distinguishes it aesthetically while the underlying circuit remains the same transparent, fat overdrive suited for blues, rock, and indie contexts where amp interaction and pick dynamics are valued.
The Browne Amplification Protein White is a limited White finish edition of the Montreal boutique builder's flagship dual-channel overdrive pedal. The circuit combines the Carbon channel, a transparent Bluesbreaker-style low-gain overdrive, with the Gritador channel, a mid-forward Tube Screamer-influenced drive, each with independent gain, volume, tone controls, and a three-way mid-shift toggle. The circuit and tonal character are identical to the standard Protein. Suited for blues, indie, and country players seeking organic, touch-sensitive dual-channel foundation overdrive.
