OVERDRIVE- BROWNE AMPLIFICATION Protein Drive ...not just another Tube Screamer & a Blues Breaker

 BROWNE AMPLIFICATION PROTIEN DRIVE 

$300.00 USD

Deja Vu? Yes you have been here before with the King Tone Guitar Duelist. Just take a Tube Screamer modify it to suit then take Marshall's Blues Breaker and do the same.

Both these pedal were preempted by the Analogman King Of Tone. lol
It started all this!

No two ways both pedals sound good. The Deulist has much more aggressive sound. The Protein has a fat rich smooth transparent mid sound. It is more about getting into the Tone King territory.

At the moment the VS Audio Royal Flush comes to mine. It is straight down the middle
halfway between the Deulist and the Protien.
It has always been labelled a King of Tone pedal.
The VS has balz and warmth at the same time.
It is $265.00 USD.
It has a little brother the Straight Flush at $200.00 USD. Same pedal but not switchable between the regular side and the boost sound. I have my eye on that one. lol
Or you can even check out the JHS Pantheon at $200.00 USD another KOT wannabe.

Many claim it gets a John Meyer Sound
His pedal of choice for his first record was a Marshall Bluesbreaker.
He however uses a Tube Screamer and sometimes a Fulltone Full Drive 2 which uses the original ts chip.  Sometimes he uses a real Klon.

Oddly enough the Fulltone Fulldrive 3 sounds more like the Protien

So the main point is that it is a transparent Drive that is favored by Strat players.
It also works best pushed through a mid to late 60's Fender amp ...or reasonable facsimile.

CONCLUSION
It does sound great but I find there are more then a few other very good and equal choices.
 I love it's nod to Steam Punk in that Victorian green and with an industrial style plaque.
Hard to not love this pedal if only by looking at it.
