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.47% — somewhat different

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 Electronic Audio Experiments Limelight is a dual overdrive pedal inspired by the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit, designed for players who want a chimey, open, and articulate overdrive voice with dual independent gain stages. Each stage can be engaged independently or together for stacked gain textures, and the Bluesbreaker-derived voicing provides a mid-forward, harmonically rich saturation that suits indie rock, post-punk, and alternative styles. The Limelight is built in the United States with premium discrete components.
