All user reviews for the Marshall Shred Master

I bought this from a friend along with a Roland JC 120 a long time ago now, it was my first "bigger" amp and with this pedal I was in heaven. Not too long after I started making payments on my first Marshall halfstack, a 1st gen 8100 with an 8412 cabinet which had the same contour knob as the shredmaster, just more. I always kept this pedal around, it was great for a quick portable option or even used with headphones or a portable stereo. I regrettably parted with the JC 120 but I have turned down many offers on this pedal even though it saw very little use for a long time. I dug it out a while back and realized its amazing running into an all tube amp and have fallen for it again 25 years later. I had to clean up the pots and was able to rig up a battery door latch because I was sick of the ancient duct tape holding the battery cover (broken tab). It looks pretty good compared to others I have seen and it works great after a little love. I hope in another 25 years its still going strong!

I have been running this through a b52 st100a and my old marshall 8412 cabinet (head died but cab is going strong) and a 1984 carvin x100b head and 4x12 cabinet. The only other effect I use is a 1st version morley bad horsie vai pedal. Mostly I play an old esp explorer (ex-350) and an old Horizon which i'm pretty sure is a "19th street guitar" (its just like Page Hamilton's from Helmet but black) Both have floyds (horizon has the sinclaire) and I run EmG's in both. An 81/85 in the explorer and an 81 in the horizon, both with 18v mod. Gotta love some of that era's gear!

Analog distortion pedal, shredmaster not see mode.

USE

Simple operation of the switches.

1- bright for a brighter sound, east marshall.

2 Switch clipping of origin and asymmetric led. It offers possibilities tales on low gain, thanks to the clarity of the LED.

The contrles are significantly amliors.

SOUND QUALITY

The shred t rorint to sound more British.

The components have t upgrads for more fidelity and intelligibility notes. Notemment graces double oprationnel amplifier Jrc 4558D and Rc 4558P!

But also reduces the breath t. The bass is fleshy presents without dborder.

She wants dsormais more versatile and efficient in its rglages. It offers more pure and sharp sounds.


NOTICE GLOBAL

A pedal that is worth the detour. Enough research and vintage, it mritait background Rvision for dlivrer his true nature!

- Distortion pedals (overdrive) is used for leads and rhythm Hard Rock Trash (metallica. ..) and with a good amp!). C'tait a relatively CHRE pedals and, despite an impressive name, I find it rather limited in sonnorits and can not find a "shred" ad, frankly a little deu ...!!! I stay on my hunger ...!!!

UTILIZATION

-The setup is relatively simple, since I have to put everything back in order to draw qque intressent thing ...!
-Are there any need for a manual ..???

SOUND QUALITY

-If we play the "good trash", the sound is nice (sound close to the Marshall Valvestate)
I use it now with an Ibanez RG 140 (trs changed!), A cutomer Lespaul GIBSON, a copy of strata. And have used an Ibanez RG 570.
-The "+" Marshall Sound "transistor" own
-The "--": The limited its available.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 10 years!
-The "+": The sound is clean and the case is too strong The "--": limit.
Before, it used a lj'ai BOSS DS1, I had been pretpdale "really" nice and I regret not having purchased the era (I REMEDY ..!), Ibanez TM5 and, even worse than the Marshall, the void and can also ... sent him back to the seller as dry!

It's been 10 years since I played on pedal fuzz and distortion and I can say that I have in a hundred tries.
this one is my new acquisition and I wonder how I could do day to play without.
solid with a battery powered or electric.
sole plate for inserting the battery seems to be a little fragile.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use

SOUND QUALITY

A superb distortion.
the sound is really very musical. ELSEWHERE d c is the largest characteristic.
you can really play on the tone and distortion can be really gone far.
I do not understand the prior reviews. because c is not much of a pedal to the metal style mt2 (metal zone)
non-c is rather the sound of radiohead jonny ELSEWHERE (guitarist from radiohead the overused since the beginning of the VOX AC30 on stage and in studio.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the past week with electroharmonix on my JCM800 and I find the distortion smoother maneable and flute as my amp is a bit gross decofrage.
d in I saw a 2nd trainer and I buy for the court to be able to always have one on hand.
j putaing have really been bluffing.
if you see one lying around quickly take the bus to play a musical distortion c is also not win with the pod and all new modeling that gives you a sanitizes and flat.

A saturation of pedals. A Disto, a real.
Case in mtal unbreakable. Only the switch is likely to let go one day, which I dj happened once in 11 years. Pray that cell can no longer.

UTILIZATION

The use is very simple because it is enough to turn some buttons .... might be expected, in agreement
Finding her is less as the knobs are effective.

SOUND QUALITY

This no longer exists and pedals, it seems to say, will therefore never to scabies.
It is certainly the pedals that I left as a, without forcing the sound the most violent m'ais t given that hearing.
Although sr, we can always do more, but this tiny piece of the iron coupled with any type of amp, the sound always comes out sharp, acr violent, heavy .... and Clean!!
So certainly, there's the amp heads that can boast to do the same, but go find me a pdalier chtites with chips that so sound as clear .... If there was, I dare not imagine the price ....

So of sr, you will understand, I made ais use only metal. But however, by refining the rglages have an overdrive can go out alone, a crunch for families.
Anyway, it covers ALL levels of Satus, from lowest to trs trs above.

The icing on the cake: the by-pass is a true bypass.

If the area is pretty Mtal MRIT and not such a small 8 or 9 out of 10, how to record the Shred it is greatly suprieure trs? Come on, I put a 29/10, as STRID ...

OVERALL OPINION

11 years she follows me. 11 years it does not itch.
I ais coupling with amps Avars, pdaliers standig great, the sauce has numrique, lamp,
On scne in recording.

I do not understand the opinion that the limit has a "trash Gentillet". A share may be playing a combo of Jim Harley copy strat + 15 W amplifier ... And again .....

This is an example of what it does:

For dmontrer it has enough gain to the Death-Mtal:

In the "Nu-mtal"

http://bongo666.free.fr/sd/SD.Satu.mp3

In the Trash:

http://bongo666.free.fr/squelette.final4.mp3 (rhythm and shred with the first solo only)

this is another sample more rock (Muse Black Desir)

http://bongo666.free.fr/sd/SD.muse.noirdez.mp3

And crunch:

http://bongo666.free.fr/crunch.mp3

It is more difficult to report quality price. If you arrive to find the price of the argus above, which I doubt, do not rflchissez, you throw it, whatever your style of music, it will make you better services.

In addition, for the home studio, the power supply battery does gnre no noise, which is not ngligeable.

In short, the price of the era (can be 500 francs) and it's pretty amazing gnre, there's no better, and I fear that there aix never better ....

The famous Shred Master! one of the best disto of all time.
Strong, beautiful, she is not known and therefore like any other has over 10 years that I use ...
After the switch I lach (snif..) Just before a concert I wanted to redeem the same but as it no longer, I pulled the Jackhammer ... j'tais sad because I could not find this quality of rock heated the pedals. When OPG, I never touch the Jackhammer.

UTILIZATION

TRS is simple to use:
The first-rate knob RULES distortion
The second-level low,
It troisime the outline (that is, the trough in mid-frquences)
It quatrime the treble level,
-The last is the output level.

For rgler sound is played between the contour and the rate of distortion, then is refined bass and treble and then the level RULES gnral wish.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is great!
It is a fairly standard range even whether any style of rock, a bit like the big fat Marshall amp lamp remains indmodable.
I play it with a Rickenbaker 4003 (and yeah the bass!) I agreements or simple lines and I like the grain in the warm spring.
If we imagine that the buttons are from 7 am 5 am, I use the 3h rate, the lower 11 am, conour noon, treble and level 2h 2h.
Guitarists looking for a twisted and violent will perhaps be a little by the pedals but it is super versatile.
What I like to do is play quietly for a clear out a little crunchy and gradually raise the distortion with the intensity of the game, hmmm ... What DLIC!

OVERALL OPINION

So I can not count the years but she follows me for over 10 years.
His switch does lach me once and I was told that Tait secured a little over a thousand uses (I had not thought counting ...)
His report quality price is really great because the sound is the same since I bought it and it still holds the road.
I had the opportune to buy another no trs long time and I jumped at the chance (20!) I have two whose is an almost new uses for low trs. I did it in case o THE FIRST let me go again before a concert ...

Distorting
knobs: drive, bass / middle / high, level

TRUE-BYPASS: no one seems to see, while it is more important than the pedals!

UTILIZATION

It may go without prob the overdrive to rev mtal distorsionn!
Trs rich bass sound if Necessary for a "full" ... and to shred!

I play with max distortion, low-15h, 11h middle, high max, volume 10-11h

It allows me not to change all the time rglages and Metallica and have the blues

SOUND QUALITY

I play mostly with strato bridge coil, ds I spend neck coil in a veiled Hendrix fuzz ... !!!!!!!!!!!!


The sounds are really great, but one could blame him crtin perfectionist qque thing (may be it is not quite as garish lights, but it is a DISTO shit).

OVERALL OPINION

Damn, I was looking for for years ... I referrer choice.

* NOTE: I now spare, because the more the worship of metallica LOL
Secundus NOTE: even when I used it like crazy this PDAL based boost: drive zero, low / mid / treble / volume at max! put such a distortion, or RAT TS9 between Shred and guitar. It exploooooooose! low you innondent brains!
* NOTE 3: May 2010 there are few pedals that will remain on my pedalboard together to feed my mesa boogie through my Gibson Les Paul: BOSS DD3, JAPAN TS9 or TS808 clone my GGG, Shredmaster. The SHRED: you can not do better in the distortion, especially stoner-punk! So I have two now!

Distortion pedal but I think you guessed

UTILIZATION

Good if you are not and if you are mancho grateux it should not be hard

SOUND QUALITY

Then there is room for me to say a g a 100w amp marchal valvstate h and k an ibanez rg an epiphone Les Paul Standard (micro EMG) collections vox pedal pedal (I pass the details) and I find that the sound is worthy of shred is nothing to do with a mt2 or even any other distortion pedal winded it can be good for blues or rock and small rols (you know that ki is played with a guitar size coffin with the banana on the head). C is a pedal that has a good sound néamoins I do not recommend if you have a marshal amp aurra you see better its the same for me the sound of this pedal is off topic unless you have a wall of speakers not tried g to boost my amp but it should not be great

OVERALL OPINION

I tried it in a store on the gear similar to mine
no matter what it took his vo vo mieu not a good amp that dobe
I do not at the council

As already said, it's an overdrive. It's tough

UTILIZATION

Standard configuration
We can just blame the fact that some knobs are not progressive, it is exaggerating the settings to feel the difference.

SOUND QUALITY

Here we are! In fact it depends on what you are looking for metal, death metal and trash ... it is obvious that it is not for this ...
While not the holy grail of pedals saturation is a very interesting pedal full of fish. However it is not in the register of the Mesaboogie modern sounds, but rather in the register of a JCM800 (to give an idea).
I play a Gibson Les Paul Studio, I tried a bunch of different amps (and of various qualities) transistors and lamps, or 4x12 combos ... and I never had a sound of shit .. . it sounds always god of fire
In fact it's not like you plug a pedal and it sounds without touching anything, it must set and adjust the settings to the amplifier and there it does not may be a certain try but it sounds good!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, and if we take the time to make adjustments on the pedal and the amp, it sends the wood! I tried lots of pedal including Metalzone boss that I have not liked it (you see! Not need to say that is shit) and I really enjoyed the Shredmaster for its fishing and low.
Following is a question of taste.


Ah! I recall trying the stuff, that means the studio test, repeating on stage enough to play over 10 minutes in a store ...

Does everything said.

UTILIZATION

Simple, like any pedals. With a little time to adapt to the contour button to learn all the useful.

SOUND QUALITY

The good one is clearly in the Marshall. If you do not like the sound, do not even try.

Shredmaster, I do not really understand. For me it is the hight flow shred of mdiator out here is not really a PDAL "trash." This is a brand worthy of his pedals, rock see big, big, rock but not a trans PDAL of trash. Anyway ...

On by plugging it feels a terrible efficiency, I believe that I have never heard a sound pedals as well as the! It's clean can go from the disto od, ca dborde not a hair! trs and that Marshall!

The contour knob allows a range of its quite big. The pedals will delight anyone who wants a little or a little more in his Marshall amp, or want to be sure to buy a distortion that hard no doubt.

Go for it Go for it!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs Trs good pedals if you like the sound Marshall. And even for the owner of a JMC or other it allows for a channel with a more independent egalistion:

Plutt practice!
A strong advisor.

A good old distortion pedals, everything t said I think. My copy is 10 years bienttfter n964080246. Fully analog good sr.

UTILIZATION

The potentiomtres are effective unless a default Typically, the gain is not progressive and trs is effective only five hours of midday.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is legendary, I used multiple configurations and I've never lass. The sound remains attached to the 90's, I have tried many distos and I have yet to find what his typical trash, the big Texas blues to the Trash metal.De fact, we like it or not. But it really helps to dmarquer the Big Muff, ProCo Rat and other metal zone and a DS ... It sounds like no other h h. Whether or distortion boost, it's a great pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 10 years, bought the 400 F era. This was my distortion pedals Premire true, it never leaves me. But on occasion I would advise caution is not the case trs tench is a real nest dusts and sometimes corrosion. What may have consquences fcheuses. I DEFINITIONS remake that choice, my attachment to push me 10. Inflation, on occasion, it may be justified but it is not always true that footstomp marked the spirits.

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

Simple, effective, robust ...

SOUND QUALITY

I use it during the holidays where I play on a small 20W amp transistor Japanese brand "Kent" on which I plug a Gibson Les Paul GT Guitar Of The Week # 15 coupled with the Shred Master. When I push a little sound, I feel like I have a small tube amp, it's great!

OVERALL OPINION

I found it to 5 euros in a garage with a footswitch when I started guitar.
: P
I did not know this pedal and I left in a corner for a while, until I really got interested, and I came across the c **.
How a small foot found in a flea market at 5 euros could be as well?

If one day I get a pedal board, it will go!

This is a great pedal that I recommend!

<ul class="ul">

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

</ul>

Yes no problem!!

It's a pedal saturation - overdrive that hides a multitude of sound. It is pure analog. Made in Englanland!

UTILIZATION

The config is pretty simple:

5 knobs: Gain / Bass / Treble / Contour / Volume.
By playing with these 5 parameters you get a palette of its very (very) wide. Bluesy sound to the fighter metalheads.
Like any pedal has a type (Marshall), but the combinations are so numerous that each had to find his or her sound.

SOUND QUALITY

It's pure analog there is no real fuss. It sounds simply.
I use my Fender Start with all the possible config, even if the bulk metallic sound is not really my thing. But if I am in need of big sound I clear my ibanez and I put the gain and contour has donf and Disco.

Otherwise I opt instead for her "good rock" without too much edge and a healthy dose of winning.

For me it's a perfect sound that I prefer a thousand times in his flat instead of BOSS DS-1 or Metallzone and consort.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact this was my first pedal 15years ago. I had then sold because I was young and stupid then dazzled by the multi-effects. Because the finances did not allow me to have both, I had sold to buy a Digitech RPxxx (who passed away since).
Now I am delighted to have found this little gem (no longer manufactured, only OCCAZ!). I do not intend to let go!
