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)

The Protein 2 in 1 overdrive is the result of a collaboration between David Brown and guitarist / producer Adam Sniegowski.

Adam came to Dave wanting to create a dual overdrive that would sound great with any backline he encountered.

After years on the road and in the studio using backline amps that could be very inconsistent, he'd had enough.

Protein V2 Pink

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.
