Broadcast
Transformer coupled Class A Pre-amplifier
The Broadcast is a transformer coupled, discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier based on the
classic broadcast consoles of the 1960’s. 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.
Features:
 Selected Germanium and Silicon transistors
 TRIAD Magnetics steel-core transformer
 BI Technologies potentiometers
 Lumberg jack sockets (rated for >5000 cycles)
 Heavy duty Alpha foot switches (wired for true bypass and rated for >30,000 cycles)
 Each and every Hudson Electronics pedal is built by hand onto a high-end PCB.
Assembly, hand-wiring, testing and packaging is all done by Michael Hudson
Controls:
Low Cut - Attenuates the low-end of the Broadcast. Since this control lies at the front end of the
Broadcast’s circuitry, it is interactive with the gain controls.
Gain Switch - Selects low or high gain mode.
Gain Trim - Controls the gain level of the Broadcast. At higher settings the high-end of the signal
is gently rolled off.
Level - Controls the overall volume of the pedal.
Power:
The Broadcast requires a DC power supply unit (PSU) and can run at voltages between 9v and
24v; running the Broadcast at voltages higher than 9v gives it more headroom, output level and
clarity. This is great for use with bass or when using the Broadcast as a clean pre-amp boost.
Please ensure your PSU can supply between 9v and 24, a minimum current of 20mA and has a
2.1mm negative centre barrel plug. Any other type may damage your pedal. If you plan on
sharing the same PSU with other pedals, we recommend using a PSU with isolated outputs, e.g.
Voodoo Lab PP2.
Current Draw: Typically less than 20mA
