Pdf2 is awesome. I haven't tried the broadcast.

Just know the PDF 2 slays, tons of gain on tap and just the best dirt section I've ever had paired with SS/bs buZzz

Bumping an old thread here to ask - do people reckon that these do could be interesting/work well together?

I'm pretty wedded to my pdf-2 for it's ability to carve out space for different parts in a recording mix, but am getting that familiar feeling of gassy sexual attraction towards the Broadcast...

(The other dirt pedal in the mix would be a switchable superfuzz/companion fuzz clone, and I'm also gassing to compare the Buzzz with that)

Since this post, I now have a broadcast and it fucking kills. I use it last in the chain and it works like a cranked amp, warming up digital effects like the boss frv1 and it still cleans up like a fuzz face. It goes from clear and crisp to mushy and saggy in low gain mode, like the amp-on-full sounds on a Cream or Faces record. On high gain, you get the fat saggy crunch all the way up to ultra compressed synthy fuzz. And it seems to be friends with every other amp and effect you mix it with. I almost want another as a backup (or to stack :eek: ).

[I don't work for Hudson, I promise, I'm just a guy in love with a pedal :joy: ]
