We took Broadcast's great sound and added the added flexibility of foot-switchable gain modes and separate level controls for those who want to switch between gain modes on the fly.
Finished in Battleship Gray with dark red Marconi style knobs.
Gain mode (LOW or HIGH) can be selected with the right footswitch (the green LED will illuminate when the pedal is in HIGH gain mode). Each mode has its own LEVEL control, plus the pedal has two internal trimmers that allow you to fine-tune the amount of gain for each mode.
The Broadcast is a transformer-coupled discrete Class A germanium preamplifier based on classic 1960s broadcast consoles. At low gain settings, the Broadcast can cover everything from shimmering clean boost to transparent overdrive, with plenty of volume to push your amp. Broadcast features specially selected Triad steel core transformers and germanium transistors. As you increase Broadcast's gain, the transformer and the pedal's discrete circuitry begin to saturate, creating gentle, dynamic compression and subtle midrange thickening. With the Gain switch set high and the Trim control turned up, Broadcast begins to output a heavier distortion sound with a warm, fuzzy edge. Broadcast covers a wide range of drive and distortion tones while remaining dynamic, responding well to picking attacks and the subtle nuances of each player.

-Individually hand assembled on high quality PCBs, assembled, wired, tested and packaged by Michael Hudson.
Left foot switch - bypasses the pedal (red LED indicates pedal is active)
Right foot switch - Toggles between low gain mode and high gain mode (green LED indicates high gain mode is selected)
LEVEL LOW – Controls the volume of the pedal in LOW gain mode
LEVEL HIGH – Controls the volume of the pedal in HIGH gain mode
GAIN TRIM – Controls the broadcast gain level (both LOW and HIGH gain modes) (higher settings gently roll off the high frequencies of the signal)
LOW CUT? Attenuates the low frequency range of the broadcast (this control
It is located at the front end of the broadcast circuit, so it works with the gain control)
Internal Trimmer - Sets the total amount of gain available in each mode.
DC Socket - Broadcast requires a DC power supply unit (PSU) and can operate on voltages from 9V to 24V. Running Broadcast on 18V or 24V increases headroom, output level, and clarity. This is great for bass use or when using Broadcast as a clean preamp boost.
Broadcast requires a DC power supply unit (PSU). Make sure your PSU can supply 9V to 24V, minimum current 20mA, and has a 2.1mm negative center barrel plug. Other types may damage the pedal. If you plan to share the same PSU with other pedals, we recommend using a PSU with isolated outputs, such as the Voodoo Labs ISO-5/Pedal Power 2 Plus.
Current consumption ? 20mA
