All user reviews of 5/5 for the Marshall The Guv'nor

By Marshall distortion pedal, three bands EQ, gain and level, an effects loop.
With a look not really rock'n'roll, I bought it because of the Marshall logo!
Used initially to "roar" my Peavey Rage 158, and have a second channel to be used up, I quickly tired (I must say that the amp was not at the top) before re-trying with my Ibanez TSA15 ...

UTILIZATION

The config is simple and complex at the same time ... let me explain!
One branch, we play, easy! But we have a pretty palette with the settings, among others thanks to the three-band EQ, and here it is clear that we need a can tamper to identify the real potential of the pedal, but what a joy!

SOUND QUALITY

As I said earlier, the sound palette is very wide and it happens to reproduce multitude of sounds, with a real personality Marshall, simply boost the big fat distortion through the crunch, nothing seems to scare!
Level of the knob gives a serious boost to the signal! on the other hand we pay a bonus breath pretty ....
That said, the pedal is very usable, must still know how to balance the settings to find a sound that is not too cartoonish ...
on the other hand, we get to have a demonic sustain with a good response, it would almost feel like a lamp in the bowels of the beast!

OVERALL OPINION

Service intermittently for now ... 14 years!
I bought it at random and I have no regrets ... in fact so. The leaving in the lurch for so long!
For lovers of big sound, vintage, a must!

Overdrive sound typical marshall, there is no lamp but it raproche much!
The sound in Marshall pedals. First model (the best)

UTILIZATION

5 pots, gain, bass, middel, treble, volume ... trs simple, pots of really useful tonnalits rgl sound, they are not used for COD as sertaine pedals ....

SOUND QUALITY

The pedals do not color the amp and the sound is what raproche raproche.
trs efficiency is also low for the!

OVERALL OPINION

The Marshall Guv'nor is one overdrive pedals from the late 1980s. It is robust and trs a good design, simple and effective. Its legalization prcise can use it as an overdrive channel on any amp does not have, but preferences via the effects loop of the amp.

Trs qualitprix good value.

This is * extremely * PDAL robust, can be used not only in the studio, but on auusi scne, peace of mind.

UTILIZATION

Mastering is quite simple: for my part, great beginners when it was acquired, 5 minutes me enough to make me my first sound. The simple, intuitive controls allow live interaction, to address directly in live sound.

The manual of the era as the product is simple.

Personally, I have the simplicity of apprci o the note.

SOUND QUALITY

Since a distortion of the rich until crunch lightweight, there are quite a palette of sounds that are the identity Marshall. For my part, I applied the old recipes, with LP-79 (Vintage DiMarzio Air Neck & Bridge), to a satisfactory rsultat trs!
Obviously the sound is cut for a palette ranging from rock to blues. The Guv'nor is only a, but it does rev well, I think.
Caution: For other styles, including much heavier, it could be dplace.

OVERALL OPINION

Acquired in 1996, and uses intensive Manir up in 1999, then Manir more episodes. An initial purchase of distortion pedals, completely by accident, but was happy to be in April. She provided the Marshall rock sound I wanted. In the last I apprci its robustness and stability that makes it all rsistante "draping" in concert. I would classify almost in the "tank" of the pedals. Obviously consquence logic, it is heavier than a conventional pedals.

My comparison was made well APRS my purchase, but ... Compared direct competition from "small" distortion colorful variety, I find that the Guv'nor is doing well on the trs rock, from the mildest to the most seriousness, both reached the limit with Mtal sounds, sometimes difficult. First PDAL uses unique, it allowed me to control my sound and I dtach the work environment (various amps, sound ...). Later, she found her place in a string of classic pedals (Comp, Wah, Chorus, Reverb ...)

The report quality excellent price the silent era (to remember the price of the amp, marshall of particulirement ...), it seems today, despite the arrival of multi- effects still NEWS. Any fawn, the specialist in his multi-multi-purpose product vintage sulk.

I would do the same purchase under the same conditions (guitar, choice of rock, small budget and will scne) The product is still good (and always a good quality / price): the only thing that has changed today is my budget ... : O)

This is a very nice little pedals. It is a distortion, with an adjustable gain that allows many possibilities. Technology transistors.

Play: input output, external power supply 9 volt loop.

The fabrication requires no Reserved, Casing mtal, rubber feet antidrapants trs solid switch that exudes solidity ACCS battery screw cruciform, a guarantee of durability.

UTILIZATION

Extremely simple setup, the sound ACCS DSIR IMMEDIATE via knobs gain / level dterminent that the type of saturation and rglage three bands.

No need for manual, just a little brain

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed efficces trs, bluesy, hard "old school" (I dtest dsignation this, but it's clear to everyone), metal. MARSHALL SOUND.

Does not satisfy may be fans of black-death but I do not know too much. And I do not think there is such stuff that makes you go from Johnny Winter Cannibal Corpse ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use a gear not gnial: an old Peavey amp and a Gibson of the 70 who avcu. (When I play the guitar, I am bass player).
And of a ring.
I come get a nice even with my low saturation (Combo Peavey Zephyr + 75W) the "Lemmy"

Well, it's expensive and I think it is, if you find one, jump desssus! Overall, the quality DGRAD Marshall amps, not the 3 that I scratch frquente who say otherwise. (Grsillements of knobs, pedals weakness provided ...) The sound you have on any typ Marshall amp correct. Well, was not a substitute for three bodies, but Arelle need a body among the three amateurs??

see previous review

UTILIZATION

very simple config

something not very common on this pedal: an effects loop which is active when the pedal is active.
not bad to put a delay that does not use it with another sound. Me I do not m'ensert yet.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is very good to find a speck on my Marshall BJ.
I hi: TELE + Clone + TS9 + Blues Junior Guvnor. this config works very well, being there as the TS9 boost to BJ cruncher or passing the guvnor an overdrive to a greater distortion.
In blues rock is a massacre!

OVERALL OPINION

since 2009, bringing qques mods, I used all the time. I had touvée opportunities in a small music store for 45 € and I must say that is the value for money is excellent.

For those who would like to change it I suggest you go here: # http://optimisetonampli.chez-alice.fr/exemple.htm guv

Everything has been said already!

UTILIZATION

It's very simple, we do not spend 10 hours on the manual, you plug it sounds.


SOUND QUALITY

I got a good slap! I have the Guv'nor 2 from a few years already. I found this little gem of an opportunity (a bit pricey, 80 euros fdp included, but I am now ready to pay 150 to have it!).
I tried many distos, and I have 2 or 3.
Then, nothing to do with the Guv'nor 2! These are two completely different pedals. The GV2 is bland next to the 1990 model!
GORGEOUS!
Now I understand the late Gary Moore who used it for many years!
I plug it into a Blues Jr. in his clear and the sound is very very close to his album Still Got The Blues (I did not Bluesbreaker either). I'll try it on my Marshall Class5!
This is my favorite pedal! If you have the opportunity to try it, be careful, you'll crack! on the other hand, large hard fans, I do not think it will! It's still blues rock, heavy 80/90.

OVERALL OPINION

It's a pedal that starts to become scarce. If you like the sound of Gary Moore, you need it! But it offers a good range of very distinctive sound Marshall, warm, beautiful. It's not just the sound Gary Moore!
If you find one, go ahead, it's all good! I repeat, do not throw the GV2 is a different pedal, nothing to see. Only thing in common: NAME

The Marshall Guv’nor is a distortion/overdrive pedal brought to you by the makers of the classic amplifiers. This pedal is aimed to recreate the distortion sound found on Marshall amps and while it is pretty basic in make up, I think it does a pretty good job of doing that. Let me say that I will always prefer the distortion sound on a real amp over the sound of a pedal and I don’t think it is possible to replace a real amp’s distortion. The Marshall Guv’nor has ¼ inch connections and is not rack mountable.

UTILIZATION

The Marshall Guv’nor is a really easy pedal to use at it simply has five knobs to control your tone. It has knobs for gain, bass, middle, treble, and level, which is pretty much the same parameters that you would find on a real amp. If you have any experience with distortion pedals or guitar amps, you won’t have any problems whatsoever with this guitar pedal. I’ve never seen the manual for the Marshall Guv’nor so I can’t speak to how helpful it is, but the pedal is quite easy to use and the manual really isn’t necessary.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the Marshall Guv’nor is pretty good overall, but like I said earlier it is not a replacement for the real distortion on a Marshall amp. It is a nice substitution if it is not possible to have a real Marshall stack, but lacks the depth and crunch that is found on a real amp. If you are looking for a Marshall sound in a box, this is about as close as you can get but its still not there. Don’t get me wrong, this is a very good sounding distortion pedal it just isn’t a Marshall stack in a box.

OVERALL OPINION

I’ve been using the Marshall Guv’nor for about three or four years and have come to use it in a variety of situations. While I don’t use it too often for recording as I will always try to use a real amp, this is a perfect pedal for the stage especially if you are looking for a heavier distortion sound than your Fender amp has like I am. The price is pretty reasonable making it a good pedal for players of all types and in all price ranges. Overall, the Marshall Guv’nor is a great pedal and is great for those of us who don’t have a real Marshall guitar amp.
