Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

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.

The Browne Amplification Carbon V1 is the first version of the boutique Carbon overdrive channel originally featured in the Protein dual overdrive pedal, handbuilt in Montreal. It delivers a transparent, Bluesbreaker-inspired low-gain overdrive with outstanding dynamic response, reacting naturally to pick attack and guitar volume adjustments. The circuit uses discrete components selected for warmth and musical breakup, producing smooth saturation at the edge of clean that complements tube amplifier front ends. Suited for blues, classic rock, and country players seeking amp-like feel from a pedal.
