I think if you can pick one up to try, you shouldn’t lose money on resale (maybe a fiver on postage)
edit.... I had to change my LEDs over though... I wanted Green for low gain/pedal on and Red for the Higher gain side
Not to derail/throw a spanner in, but if you're after "a low to mid thick drive tone" have you tried the TC Mojo Mojo? It does that in spades and worth trying as can be found s/hand for about £25.
I have two on my board A and B switched from gnarly just on the edge of breakup to growly drive almost Fuzz, I won't be getting rid of mine!....
The Cruiser was made for a warm tweed amp, which is what I use so maybe there's no surprise it won out in a head to head. The Broadcast is an exceptional pedal too so whatever you choose its a win/win.
Hi gain is quite vicious and gets quite toppy. I really like it but I appreciate not everyone would.
Another pedal to check out is the EMMA onomatopeia. Does a similar thing in the lower gain spectrum with different controls
Sorry for the crass plug. The broadcasts are a pretty unique pedal though, well worth a try whether you buy a clone or genuine.
Its designed to sound like a cranked tweed (extension of the amp)rather than a straight overdrive.
have no experience with Hudson broadcast
can I also suggest you watch these videos with headphones as it gives a very clear idea of how the cruiser sounds https://youtu.be/C0o7lsEXurI
