Hudson Broadcaster AP

Anyone heard of this? Just came out this week, tried to look around TB but saw no mention of it... looks really interesting:

We took the low-gain side of the standard Broadcast as the starting point. Together, Ariel and I exchanged the Germanium transistor for a Silicon and used an OEP transformer - the OEP transformer saturates and distorts less below 100Hz compared to the Triad transformer used in the standard Broadcast. These two changes together give the Broadcast-AP a darker, smoother, more powerful tone compared to the standard version. Greater weight in the lows, whilst retaining the open highs and upper-mids, giving the Broadcast a ‘3D’ effect.

Love germanium, but could this be better for bass?

The description sure sounds enticing, and if you search the forum for some of the older Hudson stuff you'll find there's a bunch of Hudson fans here.

Yep the less distorted signal below 100hz could be a great thing. I've had a few broadcasts and whilst i do think they're great, think this could be even better.

I have no complaint about the standard broadcasts, but feel that, for bass, if the low cut option was combined with a crossover on the clean signal, that would be far more useful for me. This might do a similar thing.

I would definitely love to give it a go, if it wasnt sold out till december i would pop down to Andertons and give it a go.

Didn't see this until you mentioned it... huh. Maybe I'll shoot them an email and see if they messed with it on bass...
