The Legends Are Back! | Checking Out Marshall's BRAND NEW Re-issue Pedals! 

Just purchased the Guvnor, can’t wait to receive it!!

I owned all these pedals in the 90s and can honestly say they are all absolutely brilliant. The shred master is well under rated

My live rig from 1990-1997 was a Crybaby into a late-'80s Guv'Nor into a JCM 800. Even after I went to a rack-mounted JMP-1 Midi rig, the JCM/Guv'Nor was my backup...and it had to come save the day on more than one show when the power amp in the rack setup acted wonky. The pots and jacks don't have a great reputation but as for mine it's got hundreds of shows on it getting stumbled over, drinks splashed on it, and so on. I always ran it on a 9V battery and the poor thing was transported along with my cables, guitar stand(s) and other gear in a plastic milk crate. Other than having the jacks replaced recently because the plastic internal collars of one of the originals went missing, it's still going strong and is my all-time favorite drive pedal. Back in '89-'90 I must've tried everything on the market and to this day having accumulated a cabinet of drive pedals of all sorts, nothing comes close to the feel under the fingers in my book. Nice to see they're back.

I'm lucky enough to own 3 of these original pedals, just need to get vintage drivemaster still. This review is amazing and proof that marshall is listening and still looks after us customers. Well done Jack, well done Marshall.

Cool video. I remember these pedals. I graduated HS in 1988. I did have a Washburn Stack in a Box that was released in 1986 two years before Marshall put these out.

I had a Drivemaster in the 90’s and I just got a new Guv’nor. They are different pedals. The Drivemaster was compressed and lacked dynamics and sustain. The Guv’nor reissue is just phenomenal! Rich in harmonics, powerful, balanced mids, dynamic and compressed at the same time. It works perfectly on Vox, Marshall, Friedman etc... I have no opinion on the Shredmaster because I haven't tried it. but for me the Guv’nor is above the Drivemaster.

Ive got an original Drive Master. Bought it on eBay about 2 years ago from British Heart Foundation for about £65 and it never worked properly. Got it out the cupboard yesterday, took it to my guitar tutor who took it apart, gave it a good clean and now its perfect. Really great sound.

Got my guvnor abd BB last week, love it, will both never leave my board again.

Picked up the Shred master today, very happy with it!

The overtones on the Shredmaster are mental! Not my prefered tone for playing but man, one of the most harmonically rich sounds I’ve ever heard.

Love the Blues Breaker Sound Best of them all!

I’ve just ordered the Drive master …. I’m going to get the other two and sell all my existing drive pedals. These sound outstanding

The Shredmaster is probably the best medium drive circuit ever created, and don’t be fooled by its name, it’s not a “shredder” pedal! At the same time, the Bluesbreaker is the best light drive I ever played!

The shredmaster really stood out to me here. Very rich and sweet sounding pedal. Might pick one up.

All these pedals sound amazing!

Yes the mighty Marshall have finally done it at last thanks man

Love that Anderson guitar, the pedals sound good too.

good price too

Jacks playing is always great on demos

Great Review and fabulous sounding pedals. The other great thing you should be aware of is that Marshall are stocking the components so I have now been able to replace the jack sockets on my old guvnor with parts from these reissues. Parts were impossible to find before Thanks Marshall…Contact Marshall Parts department and they are happy to sort you out.

Great tones!!

When you loose the Guv'nor to the floor the pot.controls easily break. I have one with a broken treble-knob on full. Annoying. You can see the tone-controls are protected on the three newer pedals.

I prefer the Loop in the Governor!

Gibson LP/SG +drive/shred Master....is good enough ❤

Worst kept secret release ever! 😂 But I’m happy they are back. I still have an original 89 Guv.

How does the feel of the Duellist BB side compare to the real one? Will one of these unseat it on your board?

The should sell #SpinalTap Limited Edition #MarshallPedals with a #UnionJackFlag, where all the knobs go to 11!!!

Need #Marshall #JTM45 and #1959PlexiSLP pedals to make the set complete.

I'm wondering how much lead time Marshall gave Jack before they sent him the selling points they wanted him to state as his opinion.

Finally!!!! For FFS Britain… you need to start manufacturing again and who better to lead the charge than Marshall. Timing is everything I guess

❤

That Anderson tho 👀

it depends on what you look for : with a big good pedalboard : not useful to have some more for an amp : treble boost, tube treble boost, ts9 (I don 't like that), booster, etc. for me I don't need these pedals or maybe just one but I have some pedals to sound Marshall so ? some more ? not really

oh gee look more distortion pedals just what the market needs

It’s too bad they priced these so high. Absolutely zero reason for these to be $340 after taxes here in Canada.
