Browne Amplification · pedal
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.
