Marshall Reissued Their Legendary Line Of Pedals! (Bluesbreaker, Drivemaster, Shredmaster, Gov'nor) 

In the unlikely event Josh reads this comment, (or more likely Joshua tells him) I can save you some time. I worked for Marshall when the blues breaker/drivemaster/shredmaster were released. I was a Test Engineer. For fault finding on that line they gave me the Circuit diagrams for the blues breaker , GUVNOR, & Shredmaster. I can tell you as an employee at the time of release; The Guvnor and Drive master WERE IDENTICAL at that time and the marketing copy was full of marketing BS a lot of which was significantly excessive in my I'm-a-very-factual-guy opinion. The Marketing team DID NOT hold my esteem. It's only "Improved" in the sense that the case is more practical in use. Do not waste time in that rabbit hole.

We all need Scholz rockman clones. All of them.

When I was a kid I got a guvnor pedal signed by Jim Marshall… I wanted to protect the signature by lacquering over it….. and it melted into a gold pen puddle😂

Really enjoyed the Q&A section of the show. Really cool you take time to do that.

My old Guv nor was stolen a few years back and I couldn't find another one, second hand or new, so happy I can finally get a new one. Loved that pedal. Always cut through the mix when needed and stacks great with the big muff.

Been watching more and more of your shows lately. Love them. Great pedals here. Never heard of that overdrive preamp before. Would love to get my hands on one 😎 keep up everything you guys do 🤙🏻

A cool

Scott - Thanks for your work on these videos - I truly appreciate it. I really enjoyed the video you did building the Stew Mac Fuzz kit.

I was singing "Pusher Man" throughout that entire intro.

Very nice episode J.

Ahhhh been running a Blues Breaker since I bought it new, when they were new....

Recently I’ve been using the Governors Blues from Smiletone Audio, Bluesbreaker and Guv’nor in one pedal, sounds fantastic !

Just ran my OG Guv'nor through my Bluesbreaker amp and OX with a Les Paul. One of the best sounds I have got lately.

Groovy sound for sure!👍🎸

Back in 94, the Shredmaster was my go-to dirt. I still miss that beautiful little box.

Great episode Josh. I’ve never tried any Marshall pedals but I’m definitely intrigued. I’ll have to add them to my mile long list of pedals I want to try. So many good pedal makers out there, we’re spoiled these days.

It’s been said by and about a lot of players; but Josh, you would sound like you through any pedal.

I worked at Marshall’s in 1987, the silver jubilee year. From my faded memory I seem to remember that the Gov’nor was being developed by Steve Grindrod in that year. Before it was given the name Gov’nor, my friend who worked in the development dept suggested the name ‘dirtbox’, which for obvious reasons was turned down. LED clipping was already being used in Marshall valve amp designs and I seem to remember that the silver jubilee amps had LED clipping in the pre amp circuit. I tested many of these amps. Jim Marshall was indeed the Gov’nor, a great man to work for.

great video, right up my alley. ill never part with my og shredmaster! thanks Josh and everyone at JHS

I love Jonny Greenwood, one of my favorite musicians of all time. That Tele Plus is awesome btw
