Hudson Electronics BC-24V-PE Broadcast Germanium effects pedal

The Hudson Electronics BC-24V-PE is a special edition, Mustard-coloured version of their acclaimed Broadcast pedal, exclusively produced for another local Brisbane outlet, Pedal Empire.

The Broadcast is a transformer-coupled, discrete Class-A germanium circuit inspired by classic recording consoles of the 1960s. Its unique circuitry saturates and colours your signal can be used to produce biting clean boosts, subtly coloured and thickened signals with a frayed-at-the-edge quality or – when pushed – an individual sounding overdrive with a fuzzy, fried  texture.

The BC-24V-PE also features a three position gain switch offering MID-LOW-HIGH modes. In LOW mode, the pedal has most headroom and stays nearly clean across its range, whilst retaining colouration from its germanium circuit and transformer – perfect if you use higher output pickups, baritone, bass or keyboards . The MID mode is voiced to sound and behave as the regular Broadcast – still pretty clean but adding more grit and saturation to the mix. In HIGH mode, as with the regular Broadcast, the BC-24V-PE heads into overdrive, distortion and fuzz but with a slightly tighter low end.

Note: Do not power with anything over 9 volts!
