The Browne Amplification Protein V3 is a boutique dual-channel overdrive pedal handbuilt in Montreal, representing the third version of the dual Carbon and Gritador circuit. The Carbon channel delivers a transparent, Bluesbreaker-style low-gain overdrive and the Gritador channel a mid-forward, Tube Screamer-influenced drive. Each channel has independent gain, volume, and tone controls alongside a three-way mid-shift toggle. The Protein responds like a tube amp front end, cleaning up naturally with guitar volume. Popular with blues, indie rock, and country players seeking organic dual-channel foundation overdrive.
