krispn Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Used this into a Cali 76CB to recreate the Cali76TX sound. This is a 'custom build' which looks like the Hudson Sidecar but is Broadcast through and through! Features: -witch hat silver/black knobs -black chassis -two foot-swtiches for the High and Low levels and two level controls -internal trim pots to fine tune the gain on each channel -internal voltage boost from 9v to 24v for added head room (. With the low cut off gain and level set to noon on the Low channel the added dimension this pedal gives is fantastic. If you want to hear what all the fuss is about with transformers then this is the tone! Hitting the front end of your amp with this setting and it's instant boom! This is how I used the pedal but there are many more great tones lurking beneath its unassuming exterior. From the Hudson site... The Broadcast is a transformer-coupled, discrete Class-A germanium circuit, that takes its inspiration from classic recording consoles of the 1960s. The unique way in which the circuit 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 Custom-24V-FS has an internal voltage boost circuit that increases the 9 volts coming in from the power supply up to 24 volts. The increased voltage gives extra headroom and a tighter low end - fantastic if you are looking for a little less saturation and grit, but without losing that unique sound of the Broadcast. On the Custom-24V-FS we have made the gain mode (LOW or HIGH) selectable via the right hand foot switch (the blue LED indicates when the pedal is in HIGH gain mode) as well as giving each mode its own LEVEL control. In addition, the Custom-24V-FS has two internal trimmers that allows you to fine tune the amount of gain each mode has.

krispn Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) A similar single foot switch version sold for a bit less so I'll knock £10 off Pedal comes with original box and runs off a regular boss style 9v and the dual foot switches make it quite versatile! £140 posted U.K. Edited August 23, 2018 by krispn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
