I dug the track at the end, definitely sounded awesome. You’re right, about the reissue having more output.

[@michaelheller8841]

They are close dialed in, the original is warmer though slightly. The track at the end with the reissue on it's own is killer tone if you ask me. I'd be happy with either one, so why not both.

[@PedalPawn]

Great observation, and thank you so much for the nice comment

[@darwinsaye]

Back in the day when I was young and less experienced, I ignored these because I considered them “distortion” pedals, and I was always after overdrive pedals that just sounded like a mildly driven amp. In the end I was always dissatisfied with the classic overdrives, and I eventually figured out that they didn’t sound anything like a mildly driven amp because of all the EQ shelving they do. Turns out I should have given the Guv’nor a better look after all, because it does sound more amp like than any of those tone knob overdrives ever could.

[@maxwellblakely7952]

This is my favorite overdrive pedal sound, hands down.

[@yeahright73]

Okay, so there's a few comments about the two sounding different. I want to point out two things, the first being that components age, especially capacitors. Aging caps will impact the sound of a piece of gear, there have been plenty of instances where people have felt like an amp or pedal didn't sound as good after a cap job. The second thing would be tolerances - many electronic components have tolerances of 10%, and when you vary the values across an entire circuit, you will almost certainly encounter discrepancies. If you really wanted to do this right, you would do a cap job on the old pedal, and measure out each component in each pedal to get their values as close as possible.

[@SurfGreenTelecaster]

The reissue is a little brighter at times, expected with newer components, but it's got a treble knob so no worries there. I wouldn't have any complaints about having either one. You're killing it with that LP tone, Chris! High E is the only top wrapped string. 🧐🤠

[@PedalPawn]

That’s a good observation mate! Agreed, you can’t go wrong with either! Thank you so much for that. I think these are just Ernie Ball standard 10s on the LP 🤗🎸

[@gabrielledebourg2487]

It can also just be down to the different component values between two different examples; though higher parts tolerances means modern day examples should be more consistent.

[@jesusblessthesecommentsamen]

Reviewers always say what the companies market at sounds like slash and gary moore but its your style of playing that gives you your sound.

[@rickhill6277]

Just bought the New Blues Breaker from Sweetwater Sound here in the States. Came to $269 USD. Cheers from Salem, Ohio US.

[@renetvedtpedersen5048]

Shoppinglist updated :) Had plans to get the Duke of tone and Timmy, but these reissues are all on my list. I am a huge Gary Moore fan and am looking forward to hearing them with my Les Paul and Music Man guitars.

[@OZRIC1985]

The raw sound of the Guv'nor effect is cool during the first part of the video, but I'm wondering what the setup is that you have at the end of the video where the sound is godly. What kind(s) of amp(s) and effects (like the reverb, etc.) are you using to get that awesome sound? Also, are you playing in stereo? Thanks.

[@marksguitars5617]

Looks like they are officially released here in the USA, I preordered one from Sweetwater today! 😃

Maybe a coincidence but I'm in the process of installing my old Gov'n into my pedal board. I never used it enough but I'm definitely going to give it a go.

I even never used it, so now is the time.

[@PedalPawn]

Thank you very much mate!!

[@douglasstaggs6796]

I agree. That guitar is elegant in black, incidentally.

[@scrollkeeper6636]

New ones sound a bit more overblown and slightly scratchier, as in solid state transistor sound.

[@jtothepmusic]

I've been using an original 1988 Guv'nor since new and it's still going strong (only had a few jack sockets replaced). I did have a Korean one a while back but it was absolutely nowhere near as good as the original. Think I'll buy the re-issue to give my original a break!

@@PedalPawn No problem 👍

[@johnalex6309]

Back in '88, one of our Reps wandered into the music store at closing on a Saturday night claiming The Guv'nor was a Marshall in a pedal. We all thought the same thing: plug it into a Roland JC120 and PROVE IT. Well... we shit our pants like the rest of the rock world! Son-of-a-bitch, the rep was right.

[@meowces]

Great review, not much in it. My vintage is completely dead after 25 years heavy use and deffo gonna get this re issue, thanks for the review

[@HardToBeSomeone]

Great demo - righteous Paul too - 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

[@sweeabn6736]

How much are these going to be ?

[@Skoora]

They both sound equally horrible solo but better in the band context. Seems like the band setting needed the mids way up and treble rolled down to curb the harshness in the top end. Was the amp itself turned up at all like with a real band? Not sure I consider a backing track a band, more like “it sounds like this in a mix”. But I’m old school and expected to be seeing a band in the room like Lance Keltner does. There is definitely some nice feeling nostalgia about this pedal but I just feel like there’s so many pedals that have surpassed it, for the same price, or less, that I would look at those before getting one of these. I definitely see a Gary Moore blues freak being all over this though, to put it in front of blues breaker or SLO clean/crunch channel.

[@mattbradford1135]

Great video. I would like to see a video on the effects loop. My pedal just shipped today :)

[@douglasstaggs6796]

Thanks for the mini-concert

[@SoloSi2024]

Apparently, the vintage pedals all sounded a little different at the same settings, but yes, tweak them to match.

[@simonpilgrims]

Great demo. Thanks.

[@nycshelbygt500]

Thanks to you, I scored an Original #Marshall #TheGuvNor from #EdinburgScotland on #Reverb. Now that the #MarshallReissuePedals are out the #VintageMarshallPedal prices will #skyrocket. Hard to find in the US, so you have to look in the UK/EU. These #Marshall pedals were released for only a few years in the late 1980s into the 1990s, so most players never heard of them.

[@zombiemosher1139]

Great demo. Marshall nailed it here, I agree with your observations but it's close enough. Take my money tbh & my mate has an original so we can do our own shootout.

[@HeyItsMarteeen]

Awesome work on the new videos, man!! Now stack both of those pedals for insane tone!!! 😩

great vid .. yeah i would love to understand how the effects loops works in a pedal !!!!! if possible ... to me it seems that the "older" has more clarity, more defination .... sound ... 1 question .... would you believe that from all these new "re-editions" ... this one is the pedal that could take me closer to the GUNS N ROSES, Slash's sound ????? thanks sooo much Keep on Rockin' Greetings from Portugal

[@Strotophonic]

Man.........I have to got me that thing. I have a strat and I've always felt like there is a little something missing that I can't get from my rig to get that 1990-91 Gary Moore tone (other than the fact that I am not Gary Moore of Corse).............IT SEEMS TO BE THERE. Funny thing is that I didn't know that Gary Used it. But now days it seems like written in stone that he did. Funny how if you seek you find.🤔

[@martynreed835]

That Les Paul sounds pretty awesome. Good one that. Can definitely hear that Gary Moore and even Slash tones. Reissue definitely sounds brighter than the vintage. It's almost a germanium v silicon test.

[@PedalPawn]

Thanks a lot for the cool comment 🔥🎸

[@fastacesus8499]

The reissue defo brighter but its marginal. Live who is going to notice, plus being brighter possibly will help the mix live.

[@jessefillmore]

they are retailing for $250 !? They are trying to price gouge , heh ? I'll wait till they can't move them and hopefully price drop. They are counting on income tax return season in the US lol . I bought my OG Guv for $200 . It's a great pedal but not $250 great . After taxes here in the US it's going to be a $270+ OD pedal ........There are so many great OD pedals under $200 . I was willing to buy one if the price point was $150 , hell I would have bought 2 . Maybe the ShedM or BluesB .

[@G.GordonMidi]

The new one sounds way worse. Super bright- at least I’m the setting in the video. That’s a bummer.

[@PrettyRecords]

Firstly, they both sound like shit. I'm a big Marshall fan and also a Gary Moore fan, so I can't understand why Marshall made them and I can't understand Moore using them, but then Moore also used an Ibanez TS-10, another bland sounding pedal! But he was a great player, so he'd make ANY pedal sound good! You don't mention where these are made? As the originals were made in the U.K but when they didn't sell as many as Marshall thought they would back then, they shifted production to Korea, until they were finally withdrawn altogether due to low demand at the time. I agree with others, this is just a money grab by Marshall who have witnessed the original pedals going for inflated prices, so this is Marshall getting in on a slice of that vintage market. IF they truly wanted to make a better offering, they would have made it smaller, as it's a dumb and unnecessary size AND they would have addressed the God awful battery-door goof that was always a complete pain! Thumbs down all-round, but I liked your playing.

[@christianboddum8783]

They even replicated stupid the battery lid and compartment, go figure!!

[@jque35ify]
