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.46% — somewhat different

The Browne Amplification Protein White is a limited White finish edition of the Montreal boutique builder's flagship dual-channel overdrive pedal. The circuit combines the Carbon channel, a transparent Bluesbreaker-style low-gain overdrive, with the Gritador channel, a mid-forward Tube Screamer-influenced drive, each with independent gain, volume, tone controls, and a three-way mid-shift toggle. The circuit and tonal character are identical to the standard Protein. Suited for blues, indie, and country players seeking organic, touch-sensitive dual-channel foundation overdrive.
The J. Rockett Blue Note Select is a low-gain overdrive built around two independent gain stages that can be used separately or stacked. The first stage adds enough drive to push an amp into its own natural breakup rather than generating distortion itself, and a hot switch brings in the second stage for more overdrive and sustain. That arrangement is the pedal's point: it is designed to work with a valve amp rather than in front of a clean one. It suits blues and roots players who want amp-like breakup with a switchable step up for solos.
