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.
