Founded by Michael Hudson in Hutton, East Yorkshire, Hudson Electronics is a boutique pedal company specializing in hand-built guitar effects. Each pedal is individually assembled, hand-wired, tested, and packaged by Hudson himself, using vintage-style strip-boards and new old-stock germanium and silicon transistors sourced from Europe. The company draws heavily on the sounds and aesthetics of 1960s-era audio equipment, translating classic recording and broadcast console circuitry into compact stompbox form.
The flagship Broadcast is a transformer-coupled, discrete Class-A germanium pre-amplifier inspired by classic 1960s broadcast mixing consoles, capable of delivering everything from clean boost to heavy overdrive with hints of fuzz. It is available in several configurations including a dual foot switch version and the Broadcast-AP, a signature collaboration with guitarist Ariel Posen that swaps in a silicon transistor and OEP transformer for a darker, smoother tone. The lineup also includes the Sidecar, a germanium clipping overdrive pairing a Tube Screamer-style circuit with a two-band EQ inspired by vintage recording consoles; the Motorcycle, a modified Sidecar with more low-end saturation and an added output transformer; and the White Heat, a recreation of a 1960s Italian-made germanium fuzz loaded with hand-selected new old-stock transistors.
Hudson Electronics has 16 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Overdrive Effects Pedals, Fuzz Effects Pedals, and Boost Effects Pedals. Their gear is featured by 30 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Electronic. Notable users include Carl Broemel, Yvette Young, and Ariel Posen.
