MGR/Patrick Mulder « Marshall Gov'Nor 2 GV-2 »
Published on 08/22/02 at 15:00i used to have a boss SD-1 overdrive padel i bought from my guitar teacher to replace the horrible distortion on my amp. playing for a few months i got sick with the overdrive pedal to, so i went for the music inn to get me a new pedal.
i whas looking for something in the direction of the Boss DS-1 or DS-2 but they where sold out. i knew they where good pedels and i knew what they sounded like. he next showed me his entire pedal collection, including the new marshall effects
what i like.. you got a few hours?!?! no realy what's not to like about it. the Gov'Nor 2 has kept much of his old sound and feel. however they have added a deep knop that can modify the bass in you sound. also has the volume of the pedal been increased.
the sound is great and the pedal is almost like a second amp (or 3de or 4th etc.) it gives every amp i tested the pedal on a wonderfull sound, and the different options keep amazing me. from smooth fat bluese to hard smashing crunch (maybe not as hard as the Jackhammer, but it can keep up) and from screeming solos to the most weirdest of destortion effects. i'm shure that you will be able to create a other sound everytime you play, if you so wish.
well, there are only a few things i don't like about the padle. the first is the footswitch. compared to the Boss paddels it sucks. ist's small and not verry nice to press. and that counts dubble if you are just on your room playing around with it and wear no shoes.
the second think that i could see as small problem is that it's hard to get the distortion sound you want. there so many options in the thing that some people think it to complicated. it's not couse it works the same as an amp, but it takes a lot of experimenting before you have a sound you like. and some people find that a problem
the construction and quality is of the pedal is great. the casing is verry strong mettal... in fact the whole pedal is, and i'm shure that this pedal is better build than the Boss and Ibanez pedals, and that it beats most other pedal casings i have seen.
the activation button might not be that pleasant for activation, it is strong. verry strong. i remember when i droped my boss pedal once the activation swich had flown off and i had to reatatch it.. a thing that i think would not happen to this pedal even of you droped it 3 floors down
great all improved version of the old Guv'Nor, yet it remained it's load of posibilities and great sound that made the first version so popular. it verry sturdy and i'm shure it will never leave you down as soon as you need it
