For a dual-drive pedal, this was one of the smoothest builds I've done in a while. Literally no problems with it.
The Browne Protein pedal was definitely one that I was super curious about and wondered how it compared to the Analogman King of Tone. I kept hearing about it on various forums so, yeah, when I saw the two PCB's on the PedalPCB website, definitely added those to my queue and planned out a dual pedal layout.
The main thing I added with this one was a SPDT switch to change the order of the two drives. Definitely recommended for sure! The difference between the order of these does add quite a bit of flexibility. I almost like the Blue going into the Green better.
Tone-wise, I was quite surprised by this one. I can certainly understand why so many like this one better than the KoT. I definitely still like my Paragon...but this one has certainly won me over. There's just a character about this that doesn't exist in the KoT. It just feels more refined and allows for a lot more variety in tone. Both pedals have their place...but this one will likely see more time on my pedal board I think.
Funny thing about the Green drive. Since it's based on the ODR-1, hearing it for the first time made me realize that my AionFX Andromeda Deluxe (ODR-C) wasn't working right. Way, way too dark with all settings at noon compared to the Green drive. So, yeah, that one is gonna get debugged.
With the design, I wanted to build one that looked a lot like the original Protein pedal. I didn't like the name "Pro-10" so I thought of a different name. Given that I'm combining the two "Pro-10" boards, I figure a play on the various protein powders was in orders so...Muscle Milk it is!
