Weird Hudson Broadcast Issue...EDIT - great service from Hudson and Northern Stompboxes....!

Musicman20

My Dual FS Hudson Broadcast has basically 1% output, if that.

It's been in its shipped bag and never even put on a board or gigged, so its absolutely immaculate.

I've finally got into a band and I want to use it this next weekend to record some basic stuff with them.

I went to try it this weekend on its own, straight after using the power supply with a Thorpyfx pedal, and it's got no signal.

Bypassed works fine. The LEDS light up. but zero volume or sound unless you crank EVERYTHING to 100% and then you can JUST hear a tiny noise coming out (sounds out of phase)

I've contacted @NorthernStomps and obviously I know I'll be sorted out by them or Hudson, but it IS weird....I'm stupidly careful with pedals and gear....is this just back luck?

EDIT: Taken Ytube vid down out as it is no doubt a one off and I don't want anyone to think this happens a lot if they search!

EDIT: Fresh replacement already on it's way directly from Hudson.

It’s got internal trim pots that are maybe turned right down

I've never touched them once... It was fine a few months back..

Ah... sorry, thought you’d just bought it

Has it took a fall,  Maybe one of the transistors has come out of place?

NorthernStomps

Probably just a 1 in a 100,000 case of bad luck. These things are extremely well built 

Well get it sorted, no problems

Strangely no... Its been in its bag that they come in in my guitar room and hasn't been plugged in for about 4 months...

I see the problem, it's that boss katana.

Just one of those things. Occasionally something goes wonky. I'm sure Hudson will have it sorted quicksmart. Great ped.

Just a bit of bad luck, Hudson stuff is very well made.

Probably something simple, I'm sure it will be fixed very quickly

As expected, Nothern Stomps and Hudson are on it already.

I put this post up thinking I might have been doing something wrong! You never know...

Anyway, what I can say is that when I opened the pedal up to see if I could see any signs of anything loose, it is gloriously well put together. Very neat and tidy. 

No doubt it's just bad luck.

@NorthernStomps and Hudson have provided a great service.

I have a replacement on its way and they will investigate the issues with potentially faulty one.

Cheers!

Nothing less than what I expected from Hudson - I've had excellent customer service from them.

NorthernStomps

No worries buddy, glad you’re all sorted 

I have some more Hudson stuff coming tomorrow as well including some Sidecars, which are also becoming difficult to get your hands on!
