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)
