The Carbon X was born from a simple question posed by David Ryan Harris - "Can this be done?"
The answer (“probably?”) led to a journey of innovation and experimentation that resulted in the Carbon X.
Imagine the fusion of two blue sides, the classic Carbon sound elevated to new heights. Inspired by DRH's request, Browne didn't stop at stacking two Carbons – they endeavoured to make it even better. Stripping the right side of some of its sheen and headroom, they unleashed its grittier, raw essence and added a touch of sag, letting it unleash its barbaric yawp into the world of tonal richness.
But that's not all. To perfect the art of stacking and gaining it up, Browne introduced a high cut to the left side, taming the top end with surgical precision. The result is a pedal that not only embraces the bluesbreaker spirit but enhances it, giving you unparalleled control over your sound.
Key Features:
- Integrates two distinct, stackable "Blue Side" (Carbon) drive circuits into one enclosure, engineered in collaboration with artist David Ryan Harris.
- Modified with reduced headroom and top-end sheen to introduce a touch of dynamic sag, delivering a grittier, rawer, and more aggressive breakup.
- Features a high-cut control to surgical tames the top end, ensuring high-gain tones stay smooth and articulately balanced.
- Custom-tuned specifically for stacking both sides together without harshness or mud, creating a harmonically rich, high-gain third "channel."
- Preserves guitar clarity and touch sensitivity while expanding the traditional Bluesbreaker circuit into broader tonal territory.
