Marshall Guv'nor Salutes Those About To Rock

April 25, 2006
In this video, we learn that The Guv'nor is one of Marshall's most famous stomp boxes for a reason. Intended to replicate the sound of a Marshall JCM800 amplifier pushed to the max, this pedal delivers some truly classic distortion tonage. New to this year's model is a "deep boost" control, designed to give your tone a huge, resonant low-end boost. We don't like to be hyporbolic, but this thing is like Angus in a box -- little red shorts not included.
Check out the Guv'nor page at the official Marshall website.

[ROB MATH PLAYING GUITAR THROUGH THE MARSHALL GUV’NOR]

ROB MATH: Hey out there. I’m Rob Math here at NAMM 2006 with Marshall, and we’re checking out some of the very cool new Marshall pedals. What you were just listening to is the Guv’nor pedal, and this is really an awesome pedal. This will transform a clean-sounding guitar into a killer sounding Marshall, very reminiscent of like a JCM800 with some more gain. We’ve added one new feature, the deep boost feature, the deep switch, which adds a low end resonant boost, and let’s check out the Guv’nor. Here’s my [STRUMS A GUITAR CHORD]-- my sound, just clean.
