Hudson Electronics Broadcast Dual Switch Germanium Preamp Effect Pedal With Box - Used

The folks at Hudson Electronics took the great sound of their discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier and added the extra flexibility of foot switchable gain modes and separate level controls – for those who like to switch gain modes on the fly.

In the low-gain setting, the Broadcast can cover everything from sparkling clean boost through to transparent overdrive, all with a healthy dose of volume available to push your amp. The Broadcast features a specially selected Triad steel-core transformer and a Germanium transistor. Advancing the gain on the Broadcast starts to saturate the transformer and the pedal’s discrete circuitry, giving rise to a gentle and dynamic compression coupled with subtle thickening of the mid-range. With the gain switch in the high setting and the trim control wound up, the Broadcast starts to deliver heavier distorted sounds with a warm and fuzzy edge to them. The Broadcast covers a wide range of driven and distorted tones whilst remaining dynamic, responding well to pick attack and the subtle nuances of every player.

This pedal is in excellent condition with no signs of wear.
