What do we think of the Guv'nor Plus?

[ragnarpk]

Hey,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Marshall Guv'nor Plus pedal? Do they manage to capture that marshall amp distortion sound? Because i want another distortion in my loop, i currently have the Digitech DF7 in there, but yea...

what's your opinion?

and please no "just get a marshall amp". i'm broke and need money for music school. no amp buying in the near future for me...

I have heard good things and know of at least 2 or 3 members that enjoy theirs. I would like to add one someday, and just missed a blow out deal recently.

I like mine a lot. Does it turn my amp into a Marshall, probably not, but the pedal sounds great with single coils pickups, and it has the nice 'Deep' setting that really delivers some bottome end.

Cheers :beer:

I had an older version. It's a good pedal and if you want "Marshall-in-a-box" for a small outlay it's probably your best bet. I'd a/b it with the Cool Cat Drive if I was thinking of buying one now though.

I found it raspy and fizzy. Dumped it immediately. Just not my cup of tea...probably great for other players...I prefer a smooth, compressed OD.

Never owned one, but they get consistently good reviews from folks wanting a good distortion (as opposed to a smooth overdrive) sound. :AOK:
