Commemorating 60 years of Marshall’s legacy tones, this highly coveted pedal returns with a meticulously crafted and faithfully executed design, delivering historically accurate sonics that would forever alter the overdrive landscape. Buckle in as Nick Bowcott takes us on an aural odyssey of game-changing distortion, demonstrating the timeless tones of this pedalboard powerhouse. Check it out!

Originally released in 1988, the Guv’nor was Marshall’s first attempt to put the sound of the venerable JCM-800 in a stompbox. Now this highly coveted pedalboard classic has returned for a new generation of tone chasers. Shop it today at Sweetwater 👉 imp.i114863.net/LPe6JM

Sounds great, just like a stack!!

[@sorencin11]

The tone of moore in a box. For sure. Awesome.

[@aaronrodriguez550]

Very nearly bought a JHS Angry Charlie a few days ago because I wanted that Guv’nor sound. But now I can get the real thing!

[@SwedishMeattball]

guvnor reissue isnt even the same

[@guitarandbeyondplus]

Back in '92 watched a band play in a small local club. I was so amazed by the guitarist's tone that I had to ask him what was he using. It was a Gov'nor. I found one in a Pawn shop for $80.00. I still use it.when I need a killer sound.

[@trevormosher1678]

One thing that I particularly love about Nick Bowcott demos is that he uses reasonably affordable guitars and amps (Epiphone/Gibson Tribute LP's, Katana amps) which is refreshing. Considering what is available at Sweetwater, I appreciate him not grabbing a $3000 guitar for his demos. This pedal sounds great btw 🤘

[@vmx23]

Not sure if I would call even a Gibson tribute affordable…..

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

@@vmx23 Eh, not really affordable, but more "realistic" is a better way to put it. At least for a Gibson.

Delivering The Goods, one of my favorite Priest songs ever! Great tone, great pedal.

[@benewgillian6823]

Marshall pedal used by Gary Moore on "Still Got the Blues" album...

[@rexmasters1541]

The Intro is a recording of at least three different guitar tracks. They go out of their way to make these pedals sound so good, then when you buy one it sound nothing like the demo.

[@fixedgear37]

learn to play better

[@turtle4lyfe91]

Obviously you're going to hear the best recording possible. With that said, the pedal being ran into the fx return with the presence on the amp dimed gives you the sound. Running it in the front is going to color the sound unless you have an extremely flat, clean, amp.

[@dnt7593]

This is the best demo I have ever seen on KZbin ! Bravo

[@gkol69]

Delivering The Goods, Yesss! Very convincing sounding pedal !!!

[@craigmitton5047]

All those glorious riffs most of them heard through my state of the art 3 inch speaker found in my 84 Tempo, back in the day. However I can now relive those moments with my fancy noise canceling headphones thanks to you Mr Bowcott sir, thanks to you.

[@1992YR]

Smart choice using a Gibson Les Paul Tribute. Unless you have a lot of money, it is the only Les Paul you need. Glad to see this pedal is being reissued.

[@markdakel9253]

I have been playing through Marshall amps since the early 70s and I am blown away by these pedals. In my opinion, these are must have pedals I especially like the blues breaker, but they are all exceptional.

[@alejandroblanco2071]

1:34 "Strong arm of the law" by SAXON !!!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Chris-hq7nl]

I like Nick's demos. He tends to demo gear like how other guitarists would use it (like boosting the pedal with the TS9 here) and his personality is fun to listen to.

[@boxer4engine]

Great demo. It’s great to hear it through reasonably priced gear us mortals can afford, and not 9k guitar 5k amps like others

[@kevinperry3639]

Very inspiring tones. Some really great licks too. Wonderful video, thanks 🤘

Bought one new in the early 90s. Stupidly gave it away in the early 00s. Will own one again in the early 20s!

[@jessefillmore]

I was under the impression these were going to retail for around $150-$170 . $250 is price gouging . I bought my OG for $200 in 2018 and that was my limit . These gear manufacturers know that once the Baby Boomers are out of the market , Gen X and the Millennials and Zoomers are not going to buy physical gear . This is why a really good Marshall amp head is $2500+ . Here in 10 years the used market is going to be FLOODED with gear , 80% of it OD pedals LOL

[@mikerevis6439]

Last year they were advertised at $150 so ya. I was excited to buy a guvnor, but not so much now.

[@zdunne]

I used to have the Danelectro daddy o which is a clone of the guvnor. Wish I still had it but the reissue will be on my radar

[@caseyhelmer6423]

I like the way that pedal sounds with the tribute. Think I’ll have to get one

[@darinsteele7091]

gary moore plus his soldano = mind blown in the 90's

[@the-np4mr]

One thing I will say that I'm glad they used the proper big boy boxes instead of some little 1590b type box to placate redditor/Instagramer/gear-pageite types who fawn over "pedalboard friendly" pedals.

[@mikecorey8370]

This thing sounds great. Great demo, Nick.

[@glendoggett9670]

Nick - the next pint's on me for this banger of a video.

[@scrollkeeper6636]

There was also a better version imo of the Guvnor that had a sweepable mids and a smaller footprint. Soundwise - these sound a touch more scooped up than I remember them.

[@marco-kimberlyvillarreal3113]

I Loved this review. I owned an original, English made unit a few years back, must have had a bad unit because it didn't sound as great as the one in this demo. I'm going to order one of the reissues. I once read that a Guv'nor with JCM800 is basically the same as a Marshall Jubilee.

[@dennismcdonald2607]

I can confirm that the reassure also made in England 🇬🇧

[@giulioluzzardi7632]

Do the same with Strat...please!

[@aquilarossa5191]

The amp in a box sales pitch did not work on me, so I never got one, which was a mistake when I realized it was key to the Gary Moore tone I was chasing. Duh me huh. I thought it was simply a Valvestate preamp in pedal format, so looked down my nose at it because I had a JMP-1 valve preamp. They are a little pricey. I am made in Milton Keynes too. That does not make me more expensive lol. P.S. Pricey compared to your average dirt box. But I figure there has to be some money in it to make the hassle of doing the reissue worth it I guess.

I don't understand. Does this sound like a Marshall amp even if played through another amp? Is there any point if you have a jcm already?

[@Jackmiller-xh5ne]

yes it sounds like a jcm 800 once its dialed in.

[@gypsysteve3576]

Thanks Nick great demo. Just a question (or to anyone who knows from experience)... while the Guv and Drivemaster have the exact same circuits, less loop, some reviewers have stated that the Drivemaster has a touch more gain? And maybe compression too? ...can anyone who has played both side by side confirm this? Or is it just the slight variation that can come from unit to unit, even in the same model?

Sounds almost as good as my old Valvestate 50w combo from back in 94. Wouldn’t mind one but I’d have to work out how to run it with my iRig HD 2 into my iPad. Anyone know the difference between this and the shred master?

[@peterhughes8699]

So Marshall have re-issued this good old pedal without making any improvements to it. No new features, still not true bypass, still too big and still noisy. Marshall continue to do the same as Fender and Vox. Just wrap a new marketing promotion around re-issue of the same, same old. There are other companies who make significant improvements to their products when they make a re-issue. But Marshall, Fender and Vox never do. They're usually worse. :)

[@tommclellan2882]

think you are missing the point here , the demand for these has been evident for a long time , why change anything if this is what the customers are after ? Its a reissue , has tone exactly the same as original or its not !

[@darwinsaye]

There are loads of modern pedals with all the features you want. Why complain that a clone of a vintage pedal is not more modern?

[@SoloSi2024]

Oops, all your vintage pedals ain't worth what they used to be.
