We are an authorized U.S. Browne pedals dealer, and $339 is your absolute final/total here, for a brand new Browne Amplification Protein V3 overdrive pedal (with box, etc.). Available here, at this lowest price allowed by Browne year-round. Made in, and for sale in the U.S.

Protein V3 updates include top-mounted jacks, soft switching, and a single internal switch for split mode. The same sound, the same reliability, the same Protein… only better. (See the Q & A below, about Protein V3).

The Browne Protein pedal V3, is a 2-in-1 dual overdrive, all analog and true bypass, collaborated between David Brown and guitarist/producer Adam Sniegowski. After years on the road and in the studio using backline guitar amps that could be very inconsistent, Adam came to Dave, wanting to create a dual overdrive pedal that would sound great with any backline he encountered, so they created a pedal based on the famous UK bluesy Marshall Blues Breaker pedal, plus the legendary "Nashville" pedal, the Nobels ODR-1.

They started out with 2 overdrives that they both loved. Both guitar overdrives stacked well together, but they had a few inherent issues. Dave set out to fix those issues without losing the soul of the original overdrives.

The Blue Side (left side, blues side, has blue light) is based on the Marshall Blues Breaker overdrive used by the likes of John Mayer on the “Continuum” album. Dave addressed the issues, like the lack of output, tweaked the tone control, and experimented to find what they think is their favorite version of this type of circuit, while still being true to its roots.

BROWNE AMPLIFICATION PROTEIN V3 Q & A:

Q - What is the difference between the V2 and the V3?

A - Besides the obvious top mounted jacks vs side mounted jacks, the V3 utilizes soft switching instead of mechanical switching, and there is a single internal switch for split mode. While Browne Amplification worked hard to ensure that the V2 and V3 sound the same, tolerances in parts can at times create minor variations in the “sound” of the pedal.

Q - Which side goes into which on the Protein?

A - Protein's right side (green side) is first, and cascades into the left side (blue side). The blue side has tons of headroom, and also compresses nicely, so it stacks really well with other drives before it. This is why Browne always recommends putting the protein last in your chain of drives.

Q - Is there a way to have both channels turn on simultaneously, via a single switch?

A - You could put the protein pedal in a loop, leave both sides on, and then simultaneously turn both on/off that way.

Q - Is the blue side of the Protein a Bluesbreaker or BD-2 circuit?

A - It’s a Bluesbreaker circuit with modifications and an added output section.

Q - I have a question about the capability of the independent sides of the Protein going into separate loops. It's mentioned on the website that the RJM Mastermind works with the Protein like this. I'm curious to know if this function will work with my BOSS ES-5.

A - It absolutely will!

Q - Does the green side of the pedal pair well with a Tube Screamer, or does it make my beloved TS kind of redundant, and replaces it?

A - Since the green side isn’t really a Tube Screamer (it’s more like a nobles ODR-1) it’s a different flavor than your TS. But Browne loves a Tube Screamer paired with the blue side of the protein! I don’t think you’d find redundancy in having both pedals on your board.

Q - I’m finding the green side very quiet. It’s not really punching my amp until around 3pm on the volume dial. Just wondering if this is normal?

A - The green side is very dependent on the gain knob for its level. If I set it up 2/3rds up on the gain, I have the level below half for unity gain. But if I run the gain low 1/3 or so, I have to bring the level up to 2/3 or 3/4 for unity gain.

Q - What is the power draw of the Protein, and can I use 18V?

A - About 30 mA power draw. 9VDC only please! Browne built it to have tons of headroom at 9V, so 18V is not better.

To use Protein V3 with a loop switcher, like the RJM Mastermind, ect.:

• The TRS plug on the input is going to act as the loop for the green side.
• The TRS plug on the output is going to act as the loop for the blue side.
• Tip is the input/send from your Loop
• Ring is the output/return to your Loop.
• There is a switch inside the Protein V3 pedal that needs to be flipped to the “split” position to use it this way. Remove the four screws from the back panel and flip the switch to the split position.

Some Browne Protein pedal reviews from our customers at Reverb:












The Green Side (right side, Nashville side, has green light) was inspired by that classic, famous “Nashville” overdrive, the Nobels ODR-1. This guitar pedal has been used on the pedalboards of session great guitarists, from Tim Pierce to Jerry McPherson. Browne lowered the amount of gain (distortion) to make this drive usable through the entire sweep of the pedal, added some of the mids back to make it not quite so scooped, and eliminated some of the woofiness in the low end. This allows the pedal to add some low-mid “beef” back into your tone without becoming muddy.

The secret “third” channel of this overdrive pedal might be their favorite. When running the green side into the blue of this pedal, you get added gain and fullness, without sacrificing note clarity, or getting that “mushiness” that can happen while stacking some guitar overdrives together.

Power Source (sold separately):
The Protein Pedal V3 does not use batteries, it uses a standard 9 Volt DC, Center-Negative, 30mA minimum power supply (like most all other guitar pedals use). 38mA is the maximum current draw, with both sides on.

Browne Protein pedal, tote bag, and user guide.
