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 Mad Professor Little Green Wonder HW is the hand-wired version of the acclaimed Mad Professor Little Green Wonder transparent overdrive from Finnish boutique manufacturer Mad Professor, delivering transparent, touch-sensitive low-to-mid gain overdrive with an organic, amp-like breakup character in a hand-wired boutique format. The LGW is considered one of the finest transparent overdrive designs, valued for its ability to enhance guitar tone without heavy coloration.
