Original info:
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 NOS 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 midrange. 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.
Thanks to Tipunk777 for reverse-engineering his own pedal in the Forum section.
There are 2 layouts:
one with a 24V charge pump and one without.
23/12/2016 Layout updated! Changed Gain Switch to On-Off-On and rotated OC71 180 degrees
Added a second layout with charge pump. It’s the same as before but on the top of the layout to give more space to the transformer.
