The Protein Dual Overdrive V4 is a collaboration between David Brown and guitarist/producer Adam Sniegowski. After years on the road and in the studio using unpredictable backline amps, Adam approached Dave with a goal: create a dual overdrive that would sound great no matter what it was plugged into. They started with two drives they loved – ones that stacked well but had a few quirks – and set out to fix those issues without losing the soul of the originals.

The Blue side is based on the classic overdrive heard on records like John Mayer’s “Continuum.” Dave addressed issues like limited output, revoiced the tone control, and refined the circuit to what we consider our favourite version of this beloved design – true to its roots, but undeniably improved.

The Green side is inspired by the classic “Nashville” overdrive that’s been a staple for session greats like Tim Pierce and Jerry McPherson. We reduced the gain for a more usable sweep, rebalanced the mids for a fuller presence, and tightened the low end to eliminate the woofiness. The result is a warm, punchy drive that adds low-mid “beef” without getting muddy.

But it’s the stacked mode – running the Green into the Blue – that continues to be our favourite. The third “channel” of this pedal delivers added gain and fullness while maintaining note clarity and avoiding the mushiness that plagues many stacked overdrives.

What’s new with the Protein V4?

These additions make the Protein more adaptable than ever – whether you’re chasing Nashville clarity, smooth bluesy breakup, or a harmonically rich lead tone, the V4 is built for your pedal board needs.

  • The Protein V4 introduces several key updates for even more versatility and tonal control:
  • A 3-way hi-cut toggle, taken from our Carbon V2, allows you to tailor the top end to your amp or preferences
  • Three internal switches on the Green side:
    • Low cut toggle for tightening the low end even more
    • A heavier clipping mode for a more aggressive breakup
    • An asymmetrical clipping option for added harmonic complexity and a slightly rawer edge

Specifications

  • 9V, 130mA
  • 1/4-inch jacks in and out

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Overdrive Pedals

Overdrive pedals add warmth, grit and amplifier-like breakup to your guitar tone. They can be used as a light always-on tone enhancer, a bluesy crunch box, a mid-focused solo boost or a way to push a valve amp into richer saturation.

Different overdrive circuits have very different personalities, from transparent low-gain pedals to classic mid-hump designs and heavier modern drives. They are one of the most important pedal types because they respond to picking dynamics, guitar volume and the character of your amplifier.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.

Overdrive

Overdrive pedals recreate the sound of an amplifier being pushed harder, adding warmth, breakup and sustain while still responding naturally to picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. They are one of the most important and widely used pedal types in modern guitar rigs.

Different overdrive circuits offer very different flavours, from transparent low-gain boost-style pedals through to mid-focused classic rock tones and heavier amp-like saturation.
