This has turned out to be the largest category for 2025 with 38 pedals in this selection. As I favour those pedals that I own first, and then the more pedalboard-friendly editions - inevitably there would be some casualties for the year. With the most significant of those being the larger format Meris Enzo X, and the Polyend MESS Multi-Effect Step Sequencer. I know there are some who favour each of those - but they just aren’t targets for me personally.
I always talk about having a lane - ...
I’ve seen this one listed under Andertons’ ’New Pedals’ pages for a while - but they’ve only very recently come into stock. This is a £349 Andertons exclusive - but you can also buy it direct from the Browne Amplification site for $359. This is very well-worn territory - in fact there are numerous Dual Overdrive combinations of Screamer and Breaker out there - including a new Royal Flush Plus version from VS Audio, and a fairly recently updated V3 Duellist from King Tone. Browne’s Protein has ...
So this is the newest edition of many people’s favourite dual-overdrive - which is steadily moving to a position of maximum appeal for me. We have a number of extended control switches added in this new edition - one external toggle-switch for the Blue Bluesbreaker style Left Channel, and 3 internal ones for the Green Nobels ODR-1 style Right Channel.

"With the ability to do everything from slow, lush, ballad inducing chorus, to Leslie-esque rotary tones, all the way to pure, warm & beautiful vibrato the SSHAC gives you access to anything you can dream up."
Controls - Speed, Depth / Intensity, Blend : Wet Mix.

Back in March of 2020 I did a piece on leading Blues Breaker derived Dual-Channel Overdrives - where I only owned one of the ones featured - namely the JHS 4-Star Mod Edition of Analog.Man King of Tone. In the interim period I have managed to collect 5 more in a fairly happenstance sort of manner - so that the only one in the above visual that I’ve still to land is the Browne Amplification Protein Dual Overdrive.
Of all the ones I have - all are special and / or limited editions apart from ...
This article was sparked by my coming across a number of demos of the Browne Amplification Protein Drive dual overdrive which seems to be somewhat doing the rounds currently. I though it a fairly recent introduction in the scale of things, but was surprised to find that it’s really been around for a while.
In fact its earliest appearance goes back to 2015, which seemingly corresponds to the same year that the King Tone Duellist and VS Audio Royal Flush first materialised. And ...
