Description
The Skywave Germanium Drive is an adaptation of the Hudson Electronics Broadcast, a germanium preamp/overdrive pedal based on vintage broadcast consoles from the 1960s. It uses a hybrid of silicon and germanium transistors in class-A configuration, plus a transformer at the output that saturates on higher drive levels.
This kit contains the PCB and all necessary parts. The enclosure can be selected, please select 3 knobs, up to 20mm diameter, for 6,3mm shaft separately.
