The Hudson Electronics - Broadcast-AP is a collaboration between Hudson Electronics and Ariel Posen, the Internationally-renowned guitarist. Featuring the same circuitry as the standard Broadcast, with a Class-A discrete transformer-couple circuit, reminiscent of the tone delivered by broadcast consoles of the 1960. Here is where the AP version differs, with a Silicon transistor in place of a Germanium one, along with an OEP transformer, which combine to deliver a darker, smoother tone and cleaner low-end. A fantastic collaboration and one we're happy to have in the store. Read more from Hudson Electronics: The control layout features both LEVEL and GAIN TRIM potentiometers and a switchable high-pass / low-cut filter – 100Hz @ 6dB/oct. The GAIN TRIM control has 12dB more gain than the low-gain side of standard Broadcast, allowing the Broadcast-AP to cover ground from clean boost through to medium gain overdrive tones. In addition, the gain of the pedal can be increased via an internal trimmer and – when pushed to the max – the sound becomes overloaded, broken and fuzzy. The high-pass / low-cut filter can help keep the low end together, especially when driving amps at higher gain and volume levels. .
