Marshall's Greatest Pedals

This week's episode can be summed up in four words: "No pedal left behind." Nick, Addison and Josh jam with some of the earliest Marshall guitar pedals and finally give these stompboxes the respect they deserve. Bonus: we finally find out whose sneaker is pictured on the Guv'nor box.
Huge thanks to Mitch Colby for loaning us these prototypes!

Ed bought his guv nor and Jonny bought his shredmaster, tele plus, and fender 85 when the got their first advance when they were signed. So Jonny's shredmaster rig has been there day one of being a signed band, since 1992. Also Josh, Jonny only uses the DOD live, he used a muttron rack mount in the studio. The secret to getting Paranoid Android did sound is using your foot to manually control the rate knob as you play. Super janky but effective.

I would absolutely dig a series about the Marshall « silver » pedals, always been curious about them

[@-processdrone-]

I worked for Marshall as a test engineer 1991 - 92 so I tested 33% of the first wave of Bluebreaker/Drivemaster/shredmaster range before they went out. The Shredmaster has stayed in my top 2 distortion pedals of all time ever since. It's surprisingly rarely copied from, with only the Jekyll & Hyde (beefed up) and the Joyo high gain distortion jf-04 ( bass knob eliminated and fixed at 9 o'clock ) being out there as far as i can tell. There NEEDS to be more Shredmasters . I have number 62 somewhere but it has got lost when I moved house and it's not entirely stock, hope I find it soon. I do not own a blues Breaker, I just don't "get" ... well blues actually, so I suppose that explains that. I mean I know it does it well but I also know I don't want it.

[@stinkymart3173]

He knows exactly how to do what the pedal wants to hear

[@TheEmperorOfIceCream]

Anyone notice that pretty much every pedal Josh says should be reissued gets reissued? He mentioned in ehx’s pedals you’ve never heard of that the slapback delay (can’t remember the name) should be reissued and just last week it was…

[@Sofatronic]

In the studio, Johnny used a Mutronics Mutator for the filtering effect on the Paranoid Android solo, which is a rack unit. Live, he used the DOD but adjusted the range knob with his toe to give it some of the filter modulating effect you hear on the recording. That could be why Josh has never been able to get it to sound right.

[@Telorchid]

Came here to say this…iirc they ran it through the Mutator twice! :)

[@lightningrt434]

I remember them being launched in the UK, those ads too. Gary Moore used a Guvnor I think on Still Got the Blues, into an already cooking Marshall. An acquired taste for blues really.

[@jaejinoh1370]

Always loved the gold line of pedals that came later. Especially the Jackhammer. Please do a series on the later line of Marshall Pedals.

[@msmoniz]

I concur! The GV-2, The Echohead, The SuperVibe, etc. An underrated pedal line from Marshall that are still stupid cheap used.

[@GC-ji3ye]

The compressor and the echo were my faves!

[@mariodriessen9740]

I had the 2nd version of the Blues Breaker. I hated it. The only time I was happy with it was when I used the boost function for an acoustic guitar. I practically gave that pedal away. I figured nobody would be happy with it anyway. 😬

[@s.prestonsurch5998]

Yes! Just picked up the Jackhammer this year, love the OD section.

[@phillamoore157]

I had no idea how good the Gov’ner was. I passed that pedal up a million times, and wrote it off as a joke. Then, one day played through it by accident, and was stunned. Doesn’t measure up to where Josh and Brian (Wampler) have taken Marshall-esq pedals, but I was amazed at how good it sounded.

Bought my ShredMaster S/H for £20 years ago. Does everything from edge of breakup to full on shred. Easily my best bargain pedal. Love it! Thanks for this episode, brings back good memories.

[@LaNwamNi]

Re: The Echohead; yeah I'd like to see something on that series. I have the Regenerator from the same collection, bought for its "vibe" setting, which works nicely with an expression pedal, also the stereo output option.

[@SfordRog]

I remember seeing an ad in one if the guitar magazines (maybe "For the Practicing Musician" in the '80s?) that had a picture of a grenade, a Guv'nor pedal, and the tagline "Just because it's loud doesn't mean you want to listen to it." That one always stuck with me for some reason. Good show!

[@B_Wolfen]

Yes, do the Gen2 Marshall pedals, too. That reverb of the series is still killer to my ears. The knobs were junk when it comes to visibility, do we agree? ;-)

[@tommygordon5125]

They are back !

[@kbcarroll]

The line they released in the early 2000s is underrated, misunderstood, and are hidden gems. I've had all of them at one point or another. The guvnor2 has an interesting design flaw. I've had 3 and 2 of them had a problem from factory: no treble and the knob made no difference. If you took it apart there was a capacitor on the top right of the board that was bent over and shorting on a resistor lead. Separate them and the treble circuit now works. I still have my first gv2, the compressor, and the bluesbreaker. They're great and I don't care what harmony central told you about them 15 years ago.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

I loved the Jackhammer in OD mode. Really wasn’t overdrive but more classic hard rock.

[@kbcarroll]

@@MrSpeed-lt8gr I still have my jackhammer as well. Agree, the OD mode is great as a low gain distortion (because it's not an OD, really, the clipping is too hard). But every single silver line pedal has some great sounds in it, it's just that they made the controls overly complicated so folks didn't bother messing with them enough to find out where they shine.

[@MrSpeed-lt8gr]

@@kbcarroll yeah I wish I would have kept the pedals. But of course back in the 2000’s I was just rotating guitar gear in and out trying to find the “perfect” sound which I now know doesn’t mean thousands of dollars of gear.

[@chrisradzion2148]

Another idea for a show series- the “pedals of artists who shaped the music we love” (or something with a catchier name). Hendrix, Gilmour, , EVH, SRV, Billy Corgan, Kurt Cobain, J Mascis, Thom Yorke, John Mayer, etc… Bonus episode: a deep dive into the most loved/hated by Boss pedal (perhaps by any pedal company): the Boss MT2 Metal Zone. Where it came from (evolution from the HM2?), it’s design, why it’s hated, why it’s loved, different ways people have used it (effects loop) and taking on the big question- is the Metal Zone actually “the Swiss Army Knife of high gain distortion pedals”? Can it be dialed in to sound like other famous pedals? A RAT? A fuzz? A DS1 or DS2? (Spoiler- I think it can get close enough in many instances!). I think it would be an amazing episode or livestream. Keep up the great work!

[@nickolasecker9596]

OK Computer might be my favorite album of all time, it’s between that and Loveless by My Bloody Valentine. OK Computer is like a forewarning regarding life as we know it today. Where computers have invaded every aspect of our lives, where privacy has become a thing of the past, where we don’t appreciate the world around us because we are preoccupied, where the culture of automation has effected our minds. Sonically OK Computer is a masterpiece. I like to think of it as the Dark Side of the Moon for the 21st Century. An amazingly dense, atmospheric album. It gets even better when you realize that it was recorded in a haunted mansion on the English countryside. Thom recorded “Exit Music (For A Film)” on the staircase. “Let Down” was recorded in the mansions ballroom. Apparently odd noises were heard from time to time, perfectly complimented the spookiness of what lied ahead of the nineties, the general feeling of uneasiness and anxiety that has lined the 21st century thus far.

Lovely stuff - been waiting for this one! Marshall's pedals from the early days are incredible. Carlsbro is a PA/Amp company that I grew up near. It's about the only productive thing to come out of Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

[@guygraham2580]

When I was growing up and making music in the North East, the closest I got to a Marshall was when a very close friend (and far better guitar player) bought an original Bluesbreaker pedal. He'd never heard it, but was a big fan of Clapton and the Beano album. At the time I pointed out there was more distorted sounds available from the other two in that line-up, suggesting that whilst you could turn those down for lighter OD, you couldn't turn the Bluesbreaker up...shows how prescient my pedal knowledge was! By contrast, Carlsbro were very popular and common both as respectable guitar/bass instrument amps, alongside their PA mixers, amps and speakers. I don't remember the instrument amps and cabs ever sounding anything but good, yet many years later I ended up working FOH in a couple of small venues with old Carlsbro PA kit - I don't know what toll age and wear had taken, but whilst they could just about cope with basic vocal reinforcement, putting music via CD decks through those systems sounded awful. I did like what I heard of the now much maligned Marshall Valvestate guitar amps. Back in my teens, the lead guitarist for the most professional band I knew bought the top combo in that range, but took it straight back and exchanged it for a model with half the power - so he could get a more usable "pushed" sound. Not long after I started working venues with full PA rigs, but only then did I understand that decision!

About Jonny Greenwood's sound on Paranoid Android, he apparently played the recorded guitar track through a Mutronics Mutator while fiddling with the knobs. He does something similar on stage with the 440 by playing with the range knob while soloing but it isn't really the same.

Also, OK Computer and The Bends are the only two Radiohead albums you really need. I'm not a fan, per se, but I cannot deny how brilliant those two albums are.

[@cloudshad0ws]

In Rainbows though? Kid A and Amnesiac are also up there

[@alexmbrenner]

I had a Shredmaster and it ruled!!! Sold it like an idiot. The best pedal hands down is the Marshall Echohead. I own 3 of them.

[@simonmarcotte2432]

Amazing episode! Been waiting for this one for some time. On the TPS episode with Ed O'Brien he talks about buying these. Each guys had a different one apparently.

[@r666y]

Yes, I want to see a video on the later line of Marshall pedals. I have a Jackhammer and an Echohead, and it would be interesting to know more about them from you.

[@googaboogaloo]

Instead of woman tone let’s just say Claptone

[@onerandombruh]

That made me chuckle. Have an upvote, king.

[@RaleighHeckel]

I was not ready for the Boss backpacks. Another classic JHS vid

[@slates1969]

I still have a Drivemaster in immaculate condition. Bought from new as a kid but I haven't used it in about 25 years and it's in a box in the cupboard. Now inspired to dig it out !!

[@tongpu79]

YES Please do a video on those latest Marshall series!

[@marcelocruz1361]

Just as I am building my own Bluesbreaker clone and considering doing a Guv'nor this video comes out. Nice!

[@andy4717]

Would love to see a video on those later Marshall pedals, I have the reverb one and honestly it’s great

[@racheltyrellcorp9694]

Cool video and Jams as usual ! Interested in the story of the silver line as well

[@ANWEsuigeneris]

Lovely video. A proud owner of an early Guvnor and it’s great. First time I saw it was on the album cover of ”Still Got The Blues” by the late great Gary Moore. It was also the first pedal I’ve seen.

[@royharper9472]

So I finally look up stuff. My life was changed when I met David Ruis in KC years ago-Good job JHS keep it up!

[@myeyesarewaiting]

Yaaassss! At last! Been asking for this for ages!

[@rockmovieswithtyler1989]

I love this video glad you finally did it!

[@tcause]

Great playing this episode Josh.

[@jonnyvanwyk1862]

I have the Guv'nor2 and used it for years as my main drive. I ran it through a Fender DeVille and it is a great sounding combo IMO.

[@RomenigueThier]

My first pedal was a JH-1. I used it for many years but never understood how to create a amazing sound with it. It's incredible how much popular this pedal was in the end of 90s.

[@gabrielenriquer6f]

Man! As much as I love your show, I do hate the fact that the price of any given piece of gear you feature on your show goes up. You have that influence on the market and is both worth admiring and inconvenient to me. Cheers!

[@jakeerbst4073]

Just ordered a Tkog Oxford Drive V2 which has a switch to go between Guv’nor and Shredmaster… I’m extremely excited to play it.

[@BenUsherSmith]

This is great, I had a ShredMaster back in the day I bought it back in 1992-93 one of the big attraction I think for a lot of people in the UK for this pedal (series of pedals) was that it was cheap. It was cheaper than any BOSS or DOD and it was built like a tank. It cost £54 which equates to about £100 ($130) today. If "No pedal [is to be] left behind" it be great to see something on the Roger Mayer Fuzz pedals. - Thank you for the excellent channel!

[@DeeSeaAreEss]

I vaguely remember you talking about the Guv’nor being based on something else in another video. I’ve had mine since they first came out. I don’t have the box but it still works well and it sits in the middle of my board. That and a DD3 is my go to sound.

[@devinlong6304]

One of these days you should do a video telling us about the unique guitar you use for all of these videos. I'm always enthralled by it

[@TheEricsnet1]

Yes please do the later versions of Marshall pedals.

[@innitbruv2]

I have a guvnor. Not an original 80s one, but a newer one, and it’s one of my favourite pedals. Really versatile, clean, dirty, heavy, mid boost, mid scoop. Can do it all!

[@edlib02169]

My '89 Guv'nor is the one pedal I'll take with me into the afterlife. You can take my TS10... but the Guv (and I HAVE the box...) is the one I can't live without. I Bought it new shortly after it hit the market. I've always felt the 3-band tone-stack was the important key to it. Nobody before that ever really made a pedal with that much tone shaping on it from what I can recall. I never got along well with the DS-1 or Rat types... but the Guv was a truly transcendent experience when I first played it. Putting in my pre-order now for your next multi-pedal in the line with the Bonsai and the others, which has these 3 main Marshall circuits in it, as well as a sampling of all the important variations in it. What you think about the Blammo! Blues Blaster? It kinda hits the Blues Driver and Shredmaster key tones really well to my ears. It's been a while since I've felt the burning 'need' for a new drive pedal... but this one activated the GAS in me unlike anything else I've heard for a while. (Though, a lot of that might be the fact that I saw it on Andy Demos... and let's face it: Andy kills it every time he demos something. Plus: The fact that he played an early Rush track while doing it was a dirty move... It's like that video was made to address me personally.)

[@subidral1991]

I have a Marshall DRP-1 I use as a DI pedal. It always adds great texture to an overdub track. Nobody ever seems to know what it is when they see it though.

[@leptyga]

Such big flex in this episode with the proto. Dang.

[@trainsurfer7593]

I used to have The Guv'nor, an Ibanez FL-305 flanger and a Carlsboro 30W amp. Happy days.

[@starflyr57]

I jus fast forward to the jams now...I like how he mixes the gaze with the shoes and rawks!

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

around 1992 I had and sold a bluesbreaker and shredmaster but kept the Gov’ner ( I also have the box) being a big Gary Moore fan yeah Im old the kid who bought the shred was a huge radiohead fan and was thrilled to find one I made a small fortune for back then!

[@RTFosmark]

The jams in this episode reached a new level.
