Marshall's first distortion pedal, delivering amp-like British drive and inspiring later models like the Bluesbreaker and Shredmaster.
Every element of this reissue pedal, from its internal components to its exterior construction, is thoughtfully designed and built in our Bletchley factory. Embodying Marshall’s legacy of quality craftsmanship, this pedal is made to stand the test of time and more than handle the challenges of the stage. It’s durable and reliable, just like a pedal should be.
Guitarists were impressed with the reissue's ability to replicate the sound of the original Guv'nor from the late 80s, with some stating they couldn't tell the difference between the original and the re-issue. Reviewers noted the 3-band EQ as a strong point, along with the pedal's solid construction and interactive sound controls. The pedal is seen as a good choice for a Marshall pre-amp circuit sound.
