Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.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 Way Huge WM31 Supa-Lead Overdrive is a mini format overdrive from the Smalls line, voiced to capture the dynamic, touch sensitive lead tones of a cranked classic British stack. It delivers crunchy, mid rich amp style overdrive that responds strongly to pick attack and guitar volume, cleaning up to lighter breakup and pushing into singing, saturated lead gain. With simple controls in a space saving enclosure, it offers a Marshall flavored rock voice that works as a primary drive or to push an amp harder. It suits classic rock, hard rock and blues rock players who want expressive, British voiced overdrive and lead tones in a compact, pedalboard friendly box.
