Description: The Broadcast is a transformer coupled, discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier based on the classic broadcast consoles of the 1960s. 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. Selected Germanium and Silicon transistors Specially chosen TRIAD Magnetics steel-core transformer 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 LEVEL - Controls the overall volume of the pedal. 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. 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. DC SOCKET - 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
