I am honestly shocked they didn't do this sooner. Especially with how many recreations of the bluesbreaker exist.

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

I am thinking the same thing. When everyone wants your pedal, and does everything in their power to recreate it, then just sell it to them again! 😂

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Yeah I’ve been thinking the same thing for a long time. Not sure why they waited so long.

[@suedeface]

They were too busy making bluetooth speakers and lifestyle products.

[@danielbentley0]

Guv’nor is my favorite drive pedal of all time. Great to see it back.

[@wahwahwells]

Back in 1991 I was doing demo clinics for Yamaha Australia who also distributed Marshall here, and for the release of the JCM900 series, we had Geoff Whitehorn join us for a national clinic tour. I was lucky enough to travel around with that gentleman and hear him play every night! He had so many great stories about working with Paul Rodgers and Bad Company and various others. Fantastic player and all round great guy, lovely to hear him mentioned!

[@thehomestudionerd]

I have been drooling for the blues breaker for years but the old pedals had just gotten too expensive. I was so excited that I just bought the whole set from Andertons! I got all 4 for the half the price of what original blues breakers are going for here in the US! Love you guys! Andertons is becoming my go to shop for gear. Doesn't matter that you guys are across the pond from me. The Andertons crew feels like family. So when I buy from you I'm supporting friends. Thank you. :)

Thank you, you two put out a lot of videos and love em!! You fill up my totally boring life with interesting things to watch and you've motivated me to buy guitars, amplifiers and other gear to get me moving again. I really needed this! Thanks again Lee and Pete, you really did get my old blood moving again, I now have a hobby and something fun to do!!

[@JosePineda-jn8jk]

@@DevilsAvocado69 what does an original cost? (Serious questions I really wouldn’t know what is legit and what is a fake online lol)

[@DevilsAvocado69]

@user-dc8vm2ik3d That's a complicated question bud, I will use the bluesbreaker as an example. They have been artificially inflated because of boomers, individuals who own companies like JHS for example could buy alot of original collectable pedals sit on them and sell their own verson. So an original issue between £300-750 depending on condition. The blues breaker 2, that was the llast reissue looked different so sells for like £70 used. It's honestly overpriced it's a transparent drive that needs a boost pedal to get the most out of or to replicate famous tones. Is it good? Yeah. Is it better than other cheaper drive pedals? No, not even nearly.

[@James-kj9hw]

@@JosePineda-jn8jkan original shredmaster is £220-250. So i rekkon the guvnor is about £50 to 70 p more

[@CorbCorbin]

@@JosePineda-jn8jk Most of the prices dropped to just a little ridiculous, instead of extremely ridiculous. There still folks trying to get near $1,000, but most dropped to $500 or less, I think because they were reissuing them. There are just so many better options of the Bluesbreaker circuit, for $200 or less, from many great builders.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

Just pre ordered the Shredmaster. Friend of mine had one back in the 90’s and i loved it. Was already out of circulation by then. Been waiting for this reissue for a long time.

I've been wanting a shred master for the last 30 years! This is great!

[@carloborromeo5595]

Awesome! Owned a Shredmaster in the 90's. Used it for playing Metal, Blues, Hard Rock, etc. Very versatile pedal. Sold it 10 years after. Regretted it, but not Don't regret it anymore because it's back!!!🤘😎

[@DeeSeaAreEss]

I love my Guv’nor. I’m so glad that other guitarists are going to be able to share the joy of its tone - as you said a well overdue reissue. One thing I’m happy to hear is they’ve changed the jacks. They were always a weak point. About the only one thing that wasn’t built like a tank.

[@lance134679]

Now that's a reissue. Almost like Marshall never stopped making them. 😀😄

[@mykhedelic6471]

Now, how hard was that?

[@charvelgaming2975]

Great review guys. Really enjoy watching Lee and Pete doing reviews together. Hilarious duo

[@dazzlecool]

I've still got my original Guv'nor (and box!), was a mainstay on my pedalboard for many years along with a tube screamer. Glad to see they have reissued it.

[@jcwoodstl]

He has the box

[@DerpyM_2.0]

Such a cool reissue. I still have the Shredmaster I purchased new in the '90s & love it.

[@martinparnell8990]

The guvner with a humbucker pickup is just so perfect!

[@gregrsvr3947]

I paid £54 for a Blues Breaker in 93. Went to a Marshall evening '93 and still have a signed poster from Jim, saw Geoff Whitehorn with Paul Rogers at Newcastle city hall, he is one hell of a player...get him on.

Hey guys iam glad Marshall is producing these iconic pedals again..hope to get one.

[@bleeknoir]

My first dirt pedal was the little metal Marshall Governor pedal. Cool to see the big box versions return.

[@yestoES355]

There’s so many pedals that do the exact thing. Best not to go crazy over yet, another overdrive. We are in the golden age of pedals from $20-$50 to $100+, there’s an option for everyone with multiple options which is great.

[@doublechinmask3744]

Had mk1 bluesbreaker,shredmaster and guvnor and they are amazing. They all had something special about them

[@karlisi]

Buying Marshall, you pay the actual guys who developed the pedal. Buying $20-50 pedal, you pay for a knock-off

Very faithful recreations. They sound great. And yes, some components values can drift over time and cause some differences but should be mostly negligible.

[@gregmyers81]

I bought a ShredMaster back in 1996. Loved it. I ended up selling it for a good reason but I have regretted it to this day. I'm glad it's back and I'm buying one as soon as I'm able.

Perfect description of a larger than life character Geoff Whitehorn… he was old school Brit player steeped in high level influences… a truly great player. ❤

[@kevinberthoud9347]

Great video. YES component values CAN and DO drift overtime for various reasons. How that manifests depends on component, material, manufactoring techniques / proceses and of course design. BTW freakin awesome playing in the intro. 🤪

Just ordered the Bluesbreaker, wanted one for a long time, but not at any price, fantastic.

On the Blues Breaker, once you got the settings equal, those two are the closest I have EVER heard on two pedals. Impressive demo. You just sold a ton of those, I hope!

[@jasq99]

I've got 3 of there but vintage 90's rock machines.. so glad marshall brought these back.

[@cameronjames8255]

Yooo, let's not forget how great that Arion chorus pedal was, the rest may have been questionable and weird, but that thing was a killer

[@thebubster0312]

I bought new the pearl cho2 many years ago and still love it, eighties I think. I have always used it very subtly, just a shimmer under the tone of the amp.

[@nicholasleung4142]

I love 1992 shred master blues break circuit pedal every year I think about it and I 100% love it. I’m not even old but it’s like of course John Mayer and he’s so awesome tone ❤❤

[@deanrobertnoble138]

Still have my original Made In England Guv’nor with box and manual i bought on release. Went to all the Guitarist shows at the UMIST in Manchester. Got loads of signed Jim Marshall posters and met Geoff Whitehorn whilst he was demoing eveything on the stand. Top guy; top player.

[@grotline]

I’ve had a couple of nights at the Brentwood Blues Club playing with Geoff Whitehorn in the 80’s I was playing harmonica and he refused to start the gig until I was given a mic and room on stage What a gent ❤️

[@davidkeane2399]

Also @Captain - remember walking into the shop in 91/92 and the extent of the pedal cabinet was more or less the glass fronted till/bench that was on the left as you walked in. From whence some kind dude produced aforementioned Guv'nor. Also no test rooms in the back! Ohno! You had to bring your best chops and get plugged into an amp in the middle of the shop. What a bloody brilliant place Andertons has always been.

[@brymills]

That opening jam was EPIC!

[@DazzleRebel]

I've still got my old Shredmaster from the 90s, it's not been used for about 20 years but I might dig it out and have a jam! I had the Blues Breaker too but it got knicked at a gig :(. I got both from Machinehead Music in Hitchin for less than £100 in about '95-'96, bought with my hard-earned paper round money.

[@cmcintyre3600]

I had a Danelectro Daddy-O, a Guv’nor clone, as my only pedal for most of the aughts. A Tele into a Daddy-O into a HRD was it for me. Might have to pick one of these up to compare.

Great as always. Thanks for talking about the work Marshall did to make them as close to the originals as possible.

[@ledhendrix5054]

Years ago I had the Shred Master and someone I knew had the Guv , I can sort of remember it sounding good . I did read somewhere that Gary Moore used a Guv to push his Amp or something like that , great days it seems not long ago too .

[@colej3360]

EQ on the guv'nor was very effective on the recording. Nice pedal. Nice show.

[@MartinvonBargen]

My Guv'nor story is that a mate of mine joined Carcass just before they recorded Swansong. He was backstage waiting to play his first gig with them in the USA, and when he walks out for the first number, someone had nicked his brand new pedal. He's still playing, so I reckon he'd be well chuffed that they've been re-released. I'm deffo gonna get myself one and use it as a preamp/pedal platform.

[@slates1969]

I've got an original Drivemaster which I bought back in the day and hardly ever used and it's immaculate !!!

[@stimpsonjcat67]

Re:changes in components and dial settings. Depending on the type of pot, you could get wear on the wiper and it would generally require the pot to be turned up a bit more to compensate for that. It would take a fair amount of twiddling to cause that in this kind of device. I have only seen it really be an issue in actuated pots that move around a lot (position indicators).

[@timdriscoll8712]

Still use my original guv'nor. Bought new when they were first released. Paid £49.95 at Peter Noble in Cardiff and I still have the box.

I called for Marshall to re release these about 2 years ago on my channel. The Blues Breaker also works like a treble boost when put before another drive pedal. There are heaps of Guv'nor clones out there.

I'm happy these have been remade. I've wanted a shredmaster for a long time. Sounds like they didn't cut any corners either.

I purchased one of those shred masters from a shop in Portugal in the 90s while on vacation.. what a killer pedal. I wish I still had it. Here's my chance I guess :)

[@gab_ale]

Resistance and capacitance values can change with the age of the component changing the frequency response of a circuit. So yes, the circuit could get "darker" with time.

[@stevp372]

The Shredmaster sounds brilliant

[@earthshaker61]

Can’t wait. I’ll get the the Bluesbreaker and GuvNor

[@killslay]

Liked how the blues breaker sounded on this video so much, I went and ordered a clone build kit

[@epilefsiul]

Twelve years ago I was looking for "my sound", being inspired by Noel Gallagher during the Oasis first days. I read in forums that the Guv'nor was the pedal to go, but since it was out of production, the best alternative was the MI Audio Crunch Box. I bought the Crunch Box and since then it is my favorite pedal. Recently I discovered the JHS Angry Charlie is also a Guv'nor clone and I now I receive the surprise that the original Marshall pedal is back in business. WAOOOO!!!

[@gab_ale]

I remember either reading somewhere or maybe seeing it in a JHS video that the Angry Charlie is in fact based on the Guvnor. Or maybe it is the Charlie Brown and then the Angry Charlie made to have more gain.

[@ernieb3626]

I will be gettimg one or more of these not just because of the quality and sound but because they make them back at home. Its not my home (U.S.) but home to the Pedal. Very Cool.

[@philippehendrickx1109]

So happy to see these re-issued. Will get a bluesbreaker soon. I guess we'll see more A/B reviews soon where some people will insist that the old one is better because it has ' vintage mojo' 😉

[@gchampi2]

Not at all. Having owned one from new, I'm glad the new ones have different jacks - the old ones were crap. Also, the old ones were a tad inconsistent - I've owned several over the years, but I never got a better sounding one than my first-batch UK made example.

Great sounding pedals. Listening on headphones and from what I can hear the older ones sound ever so slightly chewier and the newer ones have a tad more sparkle but in a room I’d say difference is minuscule. Blues Breaker and Guvnor sound really sweet 👌🏻😁

[@stroopwafel6141]

This vid brings back memories. I had a Guvnor back in the days. It served me well for years and years, untill I replaced it with a Emma Reezafratzitz, which dynamically was a step forward. Still, the Guvnor was one of the best heavy overdrive pedals of that era.

Got my Squier Strat for Christmas in ‘93 and always felt that I lacked gain for the grunge tunes I wanted to play. The family went to from Norway to London and Denmark Street on holiday in ‘94 (my first time) and I got a DriveMaster, a used late 60s Colorsound Wah, a set of strings and a bottleneck slide (and some Sega Megadrive games). My Strat couldn’t deliver the gain I wanted with that pedal (nobody told me about single coils vs humbuckers) so when my father went on a business trip to London a few weeks later he changed it to the ShredMaster. Still got it, with box and manual🔥🤘🏻
