Were the Marshall Reissue pedals all hype? Marshall Bluesbreaker Pedal Review and Demo.

[@eshkakogan75]

Paid over $380 for mine to be shipped from UK to Canada. Not worth the cost. Cheap Amazon pedals can do the sound. I can’t even get $200 for it now.

Ah - that sucks! There are definitely other cheaper pedals that do the same sound! You never know though … maybe they’ll stop making them and they’ll increase in price on the used market like so many other pedals!

[@musicplaylists59]

what amp are you using btw? sounds great

[@ashleyguitarandpedals]

Thanks! It’s the Kingsley Maiden D and Kingsley Page preamps going into the power amp of a Marshall Origin 20. I’ll be doing a demo and review of the Kingsley preamps in the next few weeks 👍🙌🏻

Jon Mayer and I both like it too. You can still get King of Tone. Apparently it is very different than the BluesBreaker that inspired it.

I’m on the list for one! I expect I’ll inevitably do a comparison video when it arrives in the Summer next year!

@@ashleyguitarandpedals is it hard to get one now? Sweetwater has them in stock, $189 USD, cheaper than what they were when I got one.

[@ashleyguitarandpedals]

@@dr.scottgreenaway They seem to be available in most big retailers now 👍

[@dr.scottgreenaway]

@@ashleyguitarandpedals Oh, haha, when you said you were on the wait list for one, and wouldn't be able to get it until next summer, I thought you meant the BluesBreaker. Now I get it. You were talking about the King of Tone. I'm on the list, but I just got on it a couple months ago, so I guess if they are still being made in 2030, I might get one then.

[@ashleyguitarandpedals]

@@dr.scottgreenaway hopefully it won’t be that long a wait! 😂💁🏻‍♂️ I feel like it might be one of those things where I get it and don’t really understand the hype! Hopefully not though! 🙌🏻

I bought a Gov’Nor reissue , and it is HORRIBLE !!! If you wind the treble mid or beyond it does some weird out of phase sound , A guy i know has an original Guv’Nor and i have heard him play it live , and it is Unbelievable !!! Cranking !!! - hence i WANTED - NEEDED one . There is definately a problem on the wiring on this pedal I have a Carl Martin Plexi Ranger ; that is beautiful !!! Even my old TS9 Tube Screamer is better than the Guv’ Nor I would send it back but i already lost €90 on customs charges having it sent out of UK ; So its cost me near €350 euros , for a pedal that is actually crap . Ive been stung , If any way to get the wiring diagram , maybe my guitar tech here can do some tinkering ; Of course i have to pay him for his hours , so more cost on a brand new pedal . Better to pay for an original !!!

[@ashleyguitarandpedals]

Sorry to hear that! It definitely sounds like you got a defective one! 😬🫣

My guvnor reissue is superb and all of the videos demoing it show the same result, same sounds as the original... yours must be broke or something.
