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.

The Browne Amps Protein is the Montreal boutique builder's dual-channel overdrive pedal combining the Carbon channel, a transparent Bluesbreaker-style low-gain overdrive, with 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, and both channels can be used independently or stacked together. The circuit is designed to respond like a tube amp front end, preserving dynamic pick attack and cleaning up naturally with guitar volume. Popular across blues, indie rock, and country applications.
The Crazy Tube Circuits Ziggy V2 is the updated version of the Greek boutique builder's MOSFET-cascaded overdrive pedal, voiced to blend the tonal character of two British amplifiers. The Ziggy uses cascaded MOSFET gain stages to deliver warm, organic overdrive with excellent pick sensitivity and touch response, combining the voicing of British amp midrange character with a simple three-control layout of Volume, Tone, and Gain. Backing off the pick attack yields clean but lightly overdriven tones. Suited for blues, indie, and classic rock players wanting British amp-inspired overdrive character.
