Der „Protein 2 in 1 Overdrive“ ist das Ergebnis einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen David Brown und dem Gitarristen und Produzenten Adam Sniegowski. Nachdem Adam jahrelang auf Tour und im Studio mit Backline-Verstärkern gearbeitet hatte, deren Klangqualität sehr unbeständig sein konnte, wandte er sich an Dave mit dem Wunsch, einen Dual-Overdrive zu entwickeln, der mit jeder Backline, auf die er stoßen würde, großartig klingen würde. Sie begannen mit zwei Overdrive-Effekten, die sie liebten und die sich gut miteinander kombinieren ließen, die jedoch einige inhärente Probleme aufwiesen. Dave machte sich daran, diese Probleme zu beheben, ohne dabei die Seele der Originale zu verlieren.

The Protein 2 in 1 Overdrive is a collaboration between David Brown and guitarist/producer Adam Sniegowski.  After years on the road and in the studio using backline amps that could be very inconsistent,  Adam came to Dave wanting to create a dual overdrive that would sound great with any backline he encountered. They started with two drives they loved, stacked well together, but had a few inherent issues. Dave set out to fix those issues without losing the soul of the originals.

Protein Dual Overdrive V3 (Black)

While this pedal originated as the “blue side” of the Protein Dual Overdrive, it is now available as a stand alone pedal. This “blue” pedal has been a favorite of many all over the world and is an incredibly versatile overdrive pedal allowing an incredible amount of drive options from clean boost all the way to screaming overdrive lead tones. 
The Carbon V2 features the addition of a HIGH-CUT toggle. The High-Cut allows you to tame just the right amount of those airy highs in a way that makes stacking two Carbons or a Carbon with the Blue Side of the Protein, a beautiful thing.  It also tames some of the chime and increases flexibility when stacking or using brighter amps.

The Carbon Midnight Black V2

The Nashville Overdrive is the green side of the Protein Dual Overdrive as a stand-alone unit. While this circuit originated from the classic ODR-1 circuit, this is not an ODR-1 clone. Browne Amps lowered the gain to make it useable throughout the entire sweep of the knob, adjusted the EQ section to make it less scooped, restored some of the mids and tightened up the low end (to add just the right amount of low mid “beef” back into your tone without becoming muddy). They also redesigned the power section to make it feel more like a tube amp that is working hard! This is a unique overdrive all on its own.

Atom (Black)

Dieses Dual-Overdrive-Pedal kombiniert zwei gefeierte Schaltungen in einer vielseitigen Einheit, die in Zusammenarbeit zwischen David Brown und Adam Sniegowski entwickelt wurde. Die „blaue“ Seite ist eine modifizierte Bluesbreaker-Schaltung mit erhöhtem Output und verbesserter Klangregelung, während die „grüne“ Seite auf der „Nashville“ ODR-1-Schaltung basiert, jedoch mit gestrafften Bässen und angepassten Mitten. Die Version 4 führt einen Drei-Wege-High-Cut-Schalter für die blaue Seite und drei interne DIP-Schalter für die grüne Seite ein, um Bass-Cut und Clipping-Modi anzupassen. Das Pedal ist für optimales Gain-Stacking ausgelegt, wobei die grüne Schaltung in die blaue führt, um ein drittes, einzigartiges Klangprofil zu erzeugen. Es verfügt über Soft-Relay-Switching und einen TRS-Split-Modus für die Verwendung mit externen Loop-Switchern.

This dual overdrive pedal combines two celebrated circuits into one versatile unit, developed as a collaboration between David Brown and Adam Sniegowski. The "Blue" side is a modified Bluesbreaker-style circuit revoiced for increased output and improved tone control, while the "Green" side is based on the "Nashville" ODR-1 circuit with tightened low-end and adjusted midrange. Version 4 introduces a three-way high-cut toggle for the Blue side and three internal dip-switches for the Green side to adjust bass cut and clipping modes. The pedal is designed for optimal gain stacking, running the Green circuit into the Blue to create a third unique tonal profile. It features soft-relay switching and a TRS split mode for use with external loop switchers.

Protein V4 (Green)

The Protein is based around modified versions of two well-respected drive pedal circuits: the ‘Blue’ side is based on a 1990’s Marshall Bluesbreaker but has a tweaked tone control and extra output, while the ‘Green’ side takes its cue from that Nashville session favourite the Nobels ODR-1.
