All user reviews for the Marshall Drive Master

The Marshall Drive Master is a pedal that it's basically a JCM 800 in a box. Marshall is pretty well known for their high gain amplifiers and make 100 W total guitar amps. They aren't well-known for their distortion pedals or any type of pedal for that matter. This is a good idea for someone who has a clean amplifier such as a fender or a Vox and needs that high gain British tonal push.

UTILIZATION


This is a pretty basic paddle it has five control knobs and it is pretty self explanatory. You have a gain, bass, middle, trebele, and volume control. You have your normal in and out jacks on either side of the panel and this basically takes your normal standard 9 V power supply. That's pretty much it is farce features go.


SOUND QUALITY


If you're looking for a pedal that can do that Marshall tone in a box and this is probably given be the pedal that you're going to grab. Marshall does make some newer modern pedals that have a little bit more features than this one, but if you can find this pedal for around $50 or so than I would say grab it if you're looking for that Marshall sound and you have a clean amplifier. These are the pedals that really go well with other effects in your pedal board or rack unit. It's not can overtake you sound like any type of pedal like a fuzz box would do.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find these pedals for under $100 or so. However I wouldn't suggest getting this pedal because it doesn't really do anything spectacular. There's a lot of other pedals out there that can do a better high gain sound with a lot more features better total quality and probably a better price. So if you can get this pedal for around 40 or $50 then I would say grab it other than that I would go with the Fulltone OCD pedal or even just a regular old Ibanez tube screamer pedal.

Saturation pedals that gives her any marshall amp. Its hot enough.
No light in but one wonders ...

UTILIZATION

Trs simple to use: you plug and rings. Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Volume are the only rglages perform. Adjustments effective.

SOUND QUALITY

Complies with the grain of the guitar. The rglage mediums is effective trs: TRS provides a sound type trash or dig very strong view then compress depending on the type vintage gain DSIR

OVERALL OPINION

Purchase it for a super 55's but it is hard to find. The sound is warmer than DS1 (red) BOSS example. Is closer to the SD1 (yellow) with the grain Marshall: What cool: o))

The gain is not as huge as the Metal zone and the better it is frankly more fun I think.

Overdrive analog, simple as channel amp, bass, middle, treble, gain, volume. A small door to wedge the 9V battery, or you can power the pedal by an AC adapter.

UTILIZATION

As I said above, the pedal is the channel of a saturated amplifier, so no problem getting started is as easy as used. No need to read the instructions that merely paraphrase the operation of the pedal, so it is a simple utiliser.On her in less than 2 minutes.

SOUND QUALITY

Then the careful friends, the severe hard ... The rendering is excellent, and very heels of prs amps lamp. I would not say that the sound is meileur your old amp lamp, but compared to all other distortion pedal transistor, it is really far above, there definitely the top. Even as the beast is not at all ridiculous aced the overdrive light ...

OVERALL OPINION

Very good pedals, easy to use and gives a great sound. The only downside is qu'elel no longer manufactured, so if you want it it will look a little bit in the ads, it has to have a big dork who does not understand life and then resells the master drive!

Marshall pedal, 90 Years
Overdrive

UTILIZATION

Five knobs: Volume and Drive, three fréq.eq.

SOUND QUALITY

I think this pedal has a clear, quite exceptional, but frankly ...
it's too sharp!!

It's an overdrive, or limit it adds warmth to your tube distortion.
I find it anywhere for the guitar,
against the drive by half it worked wonders ... THE LOW!!
Yes, put it between the POD and bass, it rocks

OVERALL OPINION

I sold it soon after bought the Shred Master.
No, I do referrer no choice, unless they are several variants of manufacture, and that I came across the wrong ...

2010 NOTE: I have to buy two Drive Master: I find the sound Marshallian, now on a fender and not a gibson! Génialissime pedal, just rich in harmonics and acute, it explodes the bending solo, in the rhythmic crunch! It is almost a JCM800 ... to have, especially in groups!

Effect of mild overdrive or violent
control via 3-band EQ, gain and volume

UTILIZATION

The edition is superb sound thanks to the equalizer

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is how to say ... very clear, saturation may be violent when pushed to background, equalizer, allowing easy control frequency ranges that you want to use. Even when pushed to the bottom and you are playing chords, the sound remains clean and does not clutter. The bass is very well made and treble can be a bit garish.
Anyway it sounds really good and it is dynamic and Polyval

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months, bought second hand.
I love the equalizer, the sharpness of sound in all circumstances, the Polyval.
I tried several models before you, this one is probably the best with the equalizer.
It seems now found so if you find it, go for it!

- You can spend the kind of 70's overdrive the bass distortion nag

- Technology used: analogue

- The effects are not adjustable but thanks ditables qualiser a basic "gain / treble / medium / low" as a gift and "volume"

- The conection is simple: a jack a jack IN OUT and if you want a power supply '9V (which may buzzer, finally bought my OCCAZ MODEL)

- But it's not rack can be put under the foot

UTILIZATION

- Gnrale super simple configuration

- Rglage the sound is very simple and gives good rsultats trs

- Rst in the manual is the guy who sold me the apparament

SOUND QUALITY

- The distortion is very well, you feel the Marshall so to speak. There is a choice in rglage so that you can make lots and lots of distortion diffrent

- I use it with a scraper (and often on a line of pedals that cradosse pretty original sound of the guitar but Marshall is doing well trs)

- I love the distortion buggers can be done because it is bourrine pte but not the ears. Worse small effects crunchy fun as well

OVERALL OPINION

- IT CAN BE USED I not been a year lo

- I love its sound, and I leave the default is to others, I rev it suits me well

- I tried a few boss distortion, it tricks amp (the distortion of a 15W Ibanez is a horror for example)

- The report qualitprix silent trs saw that I got to 50, but I think the more expensive new, so it's worth it

- I would do with experrience hsiter no choice.

This is an overdrive / home disortion Marshall, easy-to-Operating Your, the switch is good, maybe a little "flat"

UTILIZATION

The knobs are quite progressive, especially that of medium, which is rare enough to be stressed Marshall

SOUND QUALITY

I was really surprised by this pedal, I first connected to a transistor amp (Fender frontman 212) the sound was pretty average, not very accurate and a little "dark" .. then I plugged on my Vox AC30, and then there! wahoo, the sound was very dynamic and we finally found the sound Marshall is simple to play again I felt on my old JTM30 but JCM2000 and boosted! the sound is very accurate and the grain! the midrange knob toggles sound metal enough, or rather very typical heavy Black Sabbath ("Paranoid) or Iron Maiden or Judas Priest (medium low) to sound very fat and round, yet I play with a telecaster, perfect for the AC / DC, and other vaiantes angusienne.

EDIT: it is simple, with the grave of my Tele pickups, I have the hair near the same sound as Blue Cheer or Cream on songs like "Sunshine of your love!" I put the pickups bridge and there you can easily find the sound of some tracks from Led Zep as "Rock'n'roll" or "communication breackdown" it's great! immagine then with a real LP! (Although for the Tele is one of the best guitars to play Led Zep, it's not me saying that jimmy page), with a little more distortion and less medium where we play without problems classic hard rock for years 70/80 "hole in the sky", "paranoid", "NIB" by Black Sabbath or Judas Priest qques tubes although why I prefer my metal muff, the riffs of AC / DC are a treat precision and dynamism, we start very quickly in frenzied solos intermnables easily by finding the sounds of big pus, it's great!

OVERALL OPINION

So it's a very good distortion pedal, which allowed me to have even better sound than the original distortion of my old JCM2000, provided you plug it into a good amp all lamps and a scratch said davoir . Indeed, on the transistor, the pedal seemed very soft and bland ..
I finally found the sound I was looking for with the unit, coupled with a booster, it's perfect! I now all I want her to walk with my worn metal muff and the clear sound of my Vox Duo / Tele!

old pedal, analog, as before ... Not like the cosmetic. Easy adjustment, low, mid, treble. Dailleurs the acute rise quickly, it is better to drop a little. Batteries or 9V power supply jack like the other pedals. The gain, very effective. Halfway there a sound like Dire Straits. And if we continue it goes again! But it is not the hyper metal.
Big box, heavy and solid. While sturdy metal.

UTILIZATION

Simple one connects you turn the knobs and playing.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound remains in the medium. The serious do not play in the flat band bass guitar, which can be distinguished. sending it serious but not low. The treble its very clear if you put a half is better to stay in the first medium and Moitiers his hair cell.
I also have a mt2 which allowed me to compare. Imposiible despite the regulation of finding the grain and warmth of sound that possesses the master drive.

OVERALL OPINION

'Jai br 600 with a cosmetic effect. distortion over the drives and the many I pass them all in j'eteints reviewed and all because all these sounds take me the head. While the master drive not ... It's genuine. a simple sound or you just play notes that it makes no noise.
So overall very good avi

Everything is said, is an overdrive.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple, really.

SOUND QUALITY

It's a great overdrive you do what you want, from lightweight to heavy compliance with the grain of guitars and amps.
Derrire a Tl and before a good crunchy JCM 800 is the bomb!
It improves the sound of the amp, even the good rev, like all fact worthy of the name.

OVERALL OPINION

I used 10 years in the harshest conditions, bars, beach, rain, beer, and fungi .... It's a solid machine, I replaced the switch a time.
the knobs a little scratch, even with the bomb.
I tried many pedals before buying, in its price range that I chose it.
N'tant longer manufactured, I replace it with a Jackhammer JH1 I find even better.
I keep a backup.
