The Broadcast Dual Foot Switch requires a DC power supply unit (PSU) and can run at voltages between 9v and 24v. Running the pedal at 18v or 24v provides more headroom, output level, and clarity, making it suitable for use with bass or as a clean pre-amp boost.
Please ensure your PSU can supply between 9v and 24v, a minimum current of 20mA, and has a 2.1mm negative center barrel plug. It is recommended to use a PSU with isolated outputs if sharing the same PSU with other pedals, e.g., Voodoo Labs ISO-5 / Pedal Power 2 Plus.
The Broadcast Dual Foot Switch offers a wide range of driven and distorted tones while remaining dynamic and responsive to pick attack and player nuances.
