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.49% — somewhat different

The Browne Amplification Gritador is a reworked Tube Screamer-style overdrive from Kansas City-based Browne Amplification, delivering a more balanced midrange and a more robust low end than the standard TS808 voicing, along with asymmetrical clipping for a lively, vocal character. The Gritador represents the higher-gain channel of the Protein dual overdrive as a standalone pedal. Suited for blues, country, and rock applications where the TS-style midrange focus is wanted but the standard bass rolloff of the original Tube Screamer is a limitation.
The Cornerstone Antique V2 is the second version of the Italian boutique builder's TS-inspired overdrive pedal, handmade in Italy with premium components. The Antique V2 delivers the warm, mid-forward character of a vintage Tube Screamer circuit alongside a Hot Mode that engages dual boost stages before and after the overdrive for a versatile two-channel approach. Controls include gain, tone, and volume, with the Hot Mode switch transforming the character from vintage TS-style to a more aggressive, saturated drive. Suited for blues, rock, and country players seeking premium Italian boutique quality on top of the classic Tube Screamer foundation.
