Browne Amplification is a boutique effects pedal company based in Kansas City, Missouri, founded by David Brown. Brown began repairing and modifying amplifiers in the late 1990s, building a reputation in the Kansas City music scene as a go-to guitar technician for vintage amp repairs, custom setups, and pedal design. The company formalized as a business after the launch of the Protein Dual Overdrive at the end of 2018, which sold out its initial 100-unit run quickly and established Browne as a serious player in the boutique pedal market.
The Protein remains the company's flagship — a dual overdrive combining a Bluesbreaker-style circuit on one side with a Screamer-style drive on the other. It has become a staple on professional pedalboards, including those on the Bon Jovi tour (used by Phil X and John Shanks) and by Drew Shirley of Switchfoot. The rest of the lineup includes the Carbon (a standalone Bluesbreaker-style overdrive), Carbon X (a dual Carbon configuration), Gritador (a higher-gain overdrive with tube-style saturation), Ethane (dual overdrive), T4 Fuzz, the Sky Snake Hawk Attack Chorus (a bucket-brigade chorus pedal), and The Fixer (a dual boost and buffer). All pedals are hand-built in Kansas City with an emphasis on analog construction, durability, and straightforward controls designed for working musicians.
Browne Amplification has 14 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Buffer Pedals. Their gear is featured by 18 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Folk, World, & Country, and Blues. Notable users include Ángel Parra, Mike Zito, and Zach Williams.
