I'm selling my new Hudson Broadcast AP-1 overdrive/preamp.

Amazing pedal but I can't use it on my board.

This is the limited edition. Only 200 worldwide have been made.

Here the description of Hudson:

This limited edition version of Ariel’s signature Broadcast-AP finished in a dark

green with a red marbled nameplate. Limited to 200 units worldwide.

At the heart of the Broadcast-AP – as the name may suggest – is the same circuitry

as the Broadcast. A class-A discrete, transformer-coupled circuit, designed to saturate

in a unique way reminiscent of certain recording and broadcast consoles.

We took the low-gain side of the standard Broadcast as the starting point. Together,

Ariel and I exchanged the Germanium transistor for a Silicon and used an OEP transformer –

the OEP transformer saturates and distorts less below 100Hz compared to the Triad

transformer used in the standard Broadcast. These two changes together give the

Broadcast-AP a darker, smoother, more powerful tone compared to the standard

version. Greater weight in the lows, whilst retaining the open highs and

upper-mids, giving the Broadcast a 3D’ effect.

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.

Specifications:

-Pair of selected Silicon transistors

-OEP Transformer selected to give less THD on low frequencies

-BI Technologies potentiometers

-Heavy duty Alpha foot switches (rated for >30,000 cycles)

-Individually hand-built on to a high-quality PCB, assembled, hand-wired, tested

and packaged all by Michael Hudson

Controls:

-LEVEL – Controls the overall volume of the pedal.

-GAIN TRIM – Controls the gain level of the Broadcast-AP.

-LOW CUT (SWITCH) – Activates a low-cut filter which reduces the gain of the low frequencies.

Position 1 (switch-down) the low-cut filter is out of the circuit, Position 2 (switch-up) the

low-cut filter is engaged.

-INTERNAL TRIMMERS – The Broadcast-AP features three internal trimmers – one to to increase

the overall gain of the pedal and two to fine tune each of the positions of the LOW CUT switch.
