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.

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 JHS Morning Glory V4 is a transparent, low-gain overdrive that adds warm, touch-sensitive dirt without altering the guitar's fundamental tone, keeping the same core character between clean and overdriven settings rather than reshaping the EQ. It offers generous headroom and harmonic saturation with a mild, dynamic breakup that responds well to pick attack and guitar volume, suiting rootsy clean rhythm playing as much as searing leads. The V4 revision doubles the available headroom on the volume control compared to the earlier V3. It suits blues, rock, and country players wanting a genuinely transparent boost-into-drive pedal that stays out of the way of the amp's own voice.
