Browne Amplification · pedal
The Browne Amplification Ethane Dual Overdrive combines the Carbon V2 Bluesbreaker-style overdrive with the Gritador Tube Screamer-style overdrive in a single enclosure, created in collaboration with Andertons Music. The Carbon V2 side delivers sparkling boost through warm crunch with a high-cut toggle, while the Gritador side provides a reworked Tube Screamer voicing with balanced midrange, robust low end, and asymmetrical clipping for a lively, vocal character. Both channels can be used independently or stacked for layered overdrive. Made in Kansas City, USA.
