Browne Amplification Introduces the Gritador

Browne Amplification Introduces the Gritador

Inspired by the Tube Screamer, the Gritador offers soft switching with an adjustable startup state and a glossy "Bullfrog Belly Green" finish.


The Gritador was designed by Browne Amplification and their "resident genius in chief." They dialed in the midrange to be more nuanced. Designed to offer that classic midrange bump, but without some of the inherent nasaliness that can sometimes plague this circuit. The clipping has been altered to be slightly less symmetrical and the low end is tweaked to give it more fullness while still maintaining a tight and punchy low end. Why the Gritador name you ask? Because it means “screamer” in Portuguese.

"Just plug it in and let go. I promise you -this thing SCREAMS."

The Gritador Classic Overdrive by Browne Amplification

The dimensions of the Gritador are 4.8” x 2.64” x 1.6” (2.25” with knobs) and is powered by a 9V power supply with draw of 20mA. It has soft switching with an adjustable startup state and a glossy "Bullfrog Belly Green," keeping the Gritador in the militaristic aesthetic loved by fans of Browne Amplification.

MSRP: US$219
