Hudson Electronics Sidecar

The front end of the Sidecar is a modified version of the classic 808 overdrive, tuned for a bigger low-end, wider gain range and greater headroom. At the heart of the clipping section lies a NOS germanium diode chosen for its ‘softer’ response characteristics, retaining your playing dynamics and feel. The powerful two-band Baxandall equaliser section follows the drive section and provides up to 15 dB of cut and boost of the high and low bands, allowing you to sculpt your tone whilst remaining musical at all times.
