Broadcast AP - Ariel Posen signature Preamp
The Hudson Electronics Broadcast-AP is a collaboration between the renowned effects company and acclaimed guitarist Ariel Posen, and it's a pedal that truly stands out in the crowded world of boost and preamp pedals. At the heart of the Broadcast-AP is a Class-A discrete transformer-coupled circuit, which gives it a rich, vintage-inspired tone reminiscent of classic broadcast consoles. But Posen's signature touch adds an extra layer of refinement, with a silicon transistor and OEP transformer that combine to deliver a smoother, darker sound compared to the standard Broadcast. This pedal is a versatile tone-shaping tool, with a GAIN TRIM control that provides up to 12dB more gain than the original, allowing you to dial in everything from pristine clean boosts to gritty, medium-gain overdrive. And the switchable high-pass/low-cut filter gives you precise control over the low-end, which can be crucial when driving your amp hard. But the real magic happens when you push the Broadcast-AP to its limits. Crank the internal gain trimmer, and you'll unlock a world of broken, fuzzy tones that add incredible character and aggression to your sound. It's a pedal that rewards experimentation and can inspire new creative directions in your playing. Whether you're a fan of Ariel Posen's soulful, blues-tinged style or simply seeking a versatile preamp that can breathe new life into your rig, the Hudson Electronics Broadcast-AP is a pedal that deserves a spot on your pedalboard.
