The Marshall Guv'nor Vintage Reissue is a distortion pedal, a faithful recreation of the original classic from 1988. Built in the UK, it provides smooth overdriven tones with a touch of compression, suitable for various playing styles. It features a 3-band EQ and controls for gain, bass, middle, treble, tone, and master. It's a versatile pedal that delivers a sound reminiscent of a Marshall amplifier and can be used with a variety of amplifiers. The re-issue maintains the same quality and sound as the original. It is a 'Marshall in a box' pedal.
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.
