In the unlikely event Josh reads this comment, (or more likely Joshua tells him) I can save you some time. I worked for Marshall when the blues breaker/drivemaster/shredmaster were released. I was a Test Engineer. For fault finding on that line they gave me the Circuit diagrams for the blues breaker , GUVNOR, & Shredmaster. I can tell you as an employee at the time of release; The Guvnor and Drive master WERE IDENTICAL at that time and the marketing copy was full of marketing BS a lot of which was significantly excessive in my I'm-a-very-factual-guy opinion. The Marketing team DID NOT hold my esteem. It's only "Improved" in the sense that the case is more practical in use. Do not waste time in that rabbit hole.
When I was a kid I got a guvnor pedal signed by Jim Marshall… I wanted to protect the signature by lacquering over it….. and it melted into a gold pen puddle😂
My old Guv nor was stolen a few years back and I couldn't find another one, second hand or new, so happy I can finally get a new one. Loved that pedal. Always cut through the mix when needed and stacks great with the big muff.
Been watching more and more of your shows lately. Love them. Great pedals here. Never heard of that overdrive preamp before. Would love to get my hands on one 😎 keep up everything you guys do 🤙🏻
A cool #SpinalTap special edition of #TheGovNor that went to 11 and had the signature Black/Gold Marshall Plexi knobs would be AWESOME as a Collector's piece.
Very nice episode J. I had an original Shredded from the early nineties and sold it a couple of years ago for 50 bucks, since I was convinced I’ll never pick up a guitar again….Anyways during COVID I spent a lot of time watching guitar pedal videos by an inspiring guy, with his funny crew, we’ll make no names here. For my opinion a Strat with lace sensors and a shredder through a JCM 900 is 90s Rock…Thank you guys.
Great episode Josh. I’ve never tried any Marshall pedals but I’m definitely intrigued. I’ll have to add them to my mile long list of pedals I want to try. So many good pedal makers out there, we’re spoiled these days.
I worked at Marshall’s in 1987, the silver jubilee year. From my faded memory I seem to remember that the Gov’nor was being developed by Steve Grindrod in that year. Before it was given the name Gov’nor, my friend who worked in the development dept suggested the name ‘dirtbox’, which for obvious reasons was turned down. LED clipping was already being used in Marshall valve amp designs and I seem to remember that the silver jubilee amps had LED clipping in the pre amp circuit. I tested many of these amps. Jim Marshall was indeed the Gov’nor, a great man to work for.
i have an old Shred master i love it, i wish it could have more presence or treeble so i find some triks like plug inton akaï intelliphase with all knobs at zero exept the feedback knob and it brings me exactly what i miss and since then i love it ever more
I picked up the Bluesbreaker reissue and really like it, though I'm sure the clones out there are just as good. One thing that's useful for me is how clean it is until around one o'clock or so. I can really dial it up perfectly for a clean sound.
@Lawrence Gillespie I guess the Mooer Blues Crab is supposed to be an accurate clone of the original but if it is I wasn’t impressed (except for the ultra smooth warm sound) when I got one last year.
@@Dwightpower88 True. It was fairly cheap. My main beef with the Blues Crab is that it sounds a lot smaller than another BB derivative I have. I bought the Blues Crab to see what the original sounded like to be able to compare others to. When the BB first came out in the early 90’s, I tried them in the stores and bought the TS-10 Tube Screamer instead which I still have.
That’s a beautiful guitar. And I don’t like any sort of ornamentation but it seems just right. I’ve also loved mini buckers since my mum bought me a 1971 LP Deluxe for my 15th birthday. They were tragically uncool at the time (are they still? They go in and out of fashion - maybe 4-5 times since it became mine) but I loved it.
right away i wasn't a fan of these live streams but as time goes on they have either gotten better or I've just come around to a different format and my prejudices have gone away! loving it baby! keep up the great work! love being part of the pedal community!
So, i love these pedals (particularly the sred and drive) if i was to use one of these as a dirty channel. How would you suggest a solo boost? Is that what the other pedal is? I am not a novice, however i have always used 2 and 3 channel high gain amps with no pedals. Coming back after a long hiatus, i am looking at getting a fender or Marshall single channel amp and building the gain with pedals such as these. What might you suggest? Thanks,
The old mini pedal versions of the Blues Breaker and Guv'nor are pretty common and pretty cheap on the second hand market if you don't mind them being a little scuffed, and sound very similarly good.
@JackInTheBox You mean the version 2 of these that are a brushed metal finish? I agree with your statement. I have the Guv’nor version 2 with the concentric controls I got off of Reverb. A little used and not too expensive. There’s some hate for this pedal but I think it has an good authentic Marshall tone despite what some say even though it’s a production pedal. Having said that I also have Wampler’s Plexi-Drive Deluxe and other Marshall in a box pedals so I have boutique stuff to compare it to.
I'm not complaining about this just being Josh. I love Josh. But I wanted it on the record that I miss all of the other characters. That format more fun-with-firends, whereas this format is more Josh-has-locked-himself-in-the-pedal-bunker-please-send-Spam.
I have an original '89 Guv'nor (and yes.... HE HAS THE BOX... and the foam). I got it years ago when I was chasing the Tim Commerford tone. I was super pleased when I found it but completely underwhelmed with it for bass .... until ... I discovered bi-amping and OMG this thing is killer!
In my (meaningless) opinion ALL drive pedals should have a clean blend. Not just because it opens up the marketing potential to include all bass players as well, but also because it's darn useful for definition for all players of instruments that may require a drive pedal.
That opening jam was giving me strong vibes of “The Further Adventures Of…” by Phil Keaggy. For those unfamiliar, it’s a 12+ minute masterful (mostly spontaneous) jam between Phil Keaggy and his long time friend and drummer, John Sferra.
Guv'nor is an old English slang for Boss, so whilst its kind of a Knickname its also really just a commonly used term in England Another similar word is "Gaffer" (this one is still used to day in Football/Soccer to mean the Team Manager/Head Coach)
I think the Guv’nor is a little thin but if I had one of these I would combat that by putting the bass at 10 and lowering the mids a little more plus maybe the treble if it can be spared. The Guv’nor V2 has lots of extra bass which I like really a lot because of that.
A Morning Glory is technically a JTM45 in a box. The Charlie Brown is also a JTM45 in a box. The interface is quite different on its face-the tone controls, the gain switch on the MG. How different are the circuits? If I’m trying to choose between the two, how do I contrast them?
The Morning Glory is a version of the Marshall Bluesbreaker *Pedal* - not a JTM45 in a box. There’s a fair amount of confusion out there between pedals that are clones of the Bluesbreaker *pedal* vs the JTM Bluesbreaker *Amp*.
I have an original Guvnor and Bluesbreaker. I was going to replace them with the new set, but I just can't let them go. And eq pedal in the loop of the Guvnor is awesome. Also, the blues breaker into the Guvnor is interesting if you lower the gain in the Guvnor
Please do an episode on the Rockband game controllers that for some reason clog up musical instruments classifieds, like facebook market place. It would be a true testement to your market influence if you can make the value of those shoot up.
Sounds good, takes up too much room on the pedal board though. Would rather just use the morning glory. You can get a used morning glory for a lot cheaper than a new blues breaker.
I got the SparkGo from Positive Grid and can it work at a Bluetooth speaker. I use it is to hear guitar tones - it IS a guitar amp but with wide enough range for the whole band!
The sound man for the band I played in for 5 years didn’t like the buzzing sound 🤣. He literally challenged me to a fist fight because I unplugged and caused a buzzing sound.
@@terrybanks5063 our drummer got in the middle and blocked me from continuing to move forward. He told me “you’re better than that” and I calmed down relatively speaking 🙃
He is looking for that new but old sound. Classic yet jibbed with fresh accents. A clondike of caramel and kariseen. The pinttickle of pineapple with Smurffy gobble berries.
For the shredmaster, Interesting you say it's sonically like a rat. I always had a ds1 with keeley mod I used for my high gain and occasionally it gets swapped out for a rat clone I have. I bought shredmaster to check out, and it kicked the ds1 off the board. I have it set to do its own thing but I found I could tweak it to get close to both tones (ds1 and rat) if I wanted.
@Backtoblack005 Good question! I like the Gov’nor version 2. Never tried a version 1 back in the day but when the BB first came out in the 90’s I tried it but bought a TS-10 Tube Screamer instead.
@@scotthutchens1203 I have the Gov’nor 2 which I had mod’ed to tighten up the low end. And the BB2 - I’d love to know the difference between it and the v1
I owned an original one, was great with a bass. Now it is the secret sauce in a friend's studio, I had to retire it because it was pretty fragile in the end.
Wow! I actually prefer your/my Angry Charlie over the Guv'nor. Drivemaster and Shredmaster both sound better to my ears, and I would just use a Klone over a Bluesbreaker.
Call it the"card clipper" have a knob for allowing more or less clipping...put a joker playing card on it as the logo/emblem...I'd consider buying it I got the same issue...
The BluesBreaker schematics have been online since the box originally came out. No reason to pay Marshall nearly 200 bucks for a goddamn overdrive pedal you can solder together yourself.
I get the idea of reissuing pedals that "look" like the originals, but this inevitably leads to oversize pedal enclosures. I much prefer the profile and shiny metal tank aesthetic of the "2" series.

Nice!!!😊
We all need Scholz rockman clones. All of them.
Yes! How about it @JHS?
Yeah, Josh could totally make this happen. A Rockman but in a pedal maybe...?
Yeahhhhh!!!🎉🎉
I would buy them all for my 18 year old self.
Make rockman happen in pedal, it would be great
When I was a kid I got a guvnor pedal signed by Jim Marshall… I wanted to protect the signature by lacquering over it….. and it melted into a gold pen puddle😂
Omg 😢
Why the fuck would you want some dude's scribble on your property? I never got signatures, it's literally just someone's name.
And that is kids, why we use acryl on all stuff like this not poly or nitro.
Better living trough chemistry 🧐
Really enjoyed the Q&A section of the show. Really cool you take time to do that.

Ahhhh been running a Blues Breaker since I bought it new, when they were new....
I feel so validated 🤗🤗🤗
Recently I’ve been using the Governors Blues from Smiletone Audio, Bluesbreaker and Guv’nor in one pedal, sounds fantastic !
Just ran my OG Guv'nor through my Bluesbreaker amp and OX with a Les Paul. One of the best sounds I have got lately.
Groovy sound for sure!👍🎸
Back in 94, the Shredmaster was my go-to dirt. I still miss that beautiful little box.
Great episode Josh. I’ve never tried any Marshall pedals but I’m definitely intrigued. I’ll have to add them to my mile long list of pedals I want to try. So many good pedal makers out there, we’re spoiled these days.
It’s been said by and about a lot of players; but Josh, you would sound like you through any pedal.

I love Jonny Greenwood, one of my favorite musicians of all time. That Tele Plus is awesome btw
Yes it was. I was just sad that the direction the band took, reduced the impact of his guitar playing after OK Computer.
Stay Fitter and Happier AJ 😉🤘
@@AlfredHugecokkreduced the guitar but didn’t reduce Jonny’s impact by any means. Every record they’ve made since OK has been fantastic
@@generalkenobi6869 I agree about the impact of his talent.
@@AlfredHugecokk guitar is still present, but nit much. They can't keep making more Bends and OK C every time....
@@kkrsnn5632Although I do prefer their less electonic songs. I kinda agree.

Josh has got some chops! ❤️
I missed it but I'm super glad you restarted
here in deepest darkest Australia, and from my foggy 80's memories the first time I heard LED clipping mentioned was in relation to The Guv.
For the true East End London pronunciation, repeat after me: ‘Thuh Guv-na’.
right you are then...Guv.
I was looking into getting an og, but now I can save myself some $$. Thanks!

Great show Josh! Curious what your thoughts are on Carl Martin pedals. Mainly the larger Plexitone with the 3 switches.
@@danielmcer7612 ?
carl martin pedals are great, dont own one but happily would. just dont need one. his compressor is a great pedal also.
I wish there were a tutorial to learn that whole part with the Johnny Greenwood Tele.
Guv'nor is an old English slang for Boss, so whilst its kind of a Knickname its also really just a commonly used term in England
Another similar word is "Gaffer" (this one is still used to day in Football/Soccer to mean the Team Manager/Head Coach)
That intro jam became Karate for a wee bit
why we dont have anymore some episode record in the studio ?
The power stack from boss is great
It is a great Marshall sound. I sold mine because I started listening to the dudes on the internet saying Boss is no good. I need to get another one.
Yeah it’s great and cheap used I like the low gain setting. It’s great to stack with other dive pedals.
@@MrSpeed-lt8gr never listen to anyone who says boss is no good. That's just insanity.
sure wish I could hear how the pedals clean up with the guitar volume knob
I think the Guv’nor is a little thin but if I had one of these I would combat that by putting the bass at 10 and lowering the mids a little more plus maybe the treble if it can be spared. The Guv’nor V2 has lots of extra bass which I like really a lot because of that.
Don't forget that we 50Hz mains guys hear that plugging in hum sound 16.666% lower.
what they really need to release are replacement battery covers for these 😊
Interesting, my Overdrive Preamp doesn’t have any labeling on the Si/#75 switch.
That noise. That reminds us we are all human.
@jhspedals why don't you record straight trough the kemper?

I had that Abby road gig on DVD. Classic John Mayer performance 👌🏻
I choosed the Drivemaster for the versatility of he distortion and because of the red / black color knobs
Sounds good, takes up too much room on the pedal board though. Would rather just use the morning glory. You can get a used morning glory for a lot cheaper than a new blues breaker.
Morning glory takes less footprint on pedalboard but top route pedals also good.
From what I hear/heard from other sources.
The Governor is like a JMP, drive master like a JCM800, and shred master like a JCM900
Nice shoegaze tone at 32:30
Marshall is in Milton Keynes
Right next to Bletchley Park where the German enigma code was broken in WW2 🙂. Jim's original shop was in London

That’s a serious question.
How does this reissue compare to the browne amps carbon
Does the NUX morning star do the same thing?
MeTal PeTal is my new band name.
Starts with Blues Lawyer/Orthodontist vibes.....
I have a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker. It's like falling from a great height only to land on a surface covered in beautiful, jagged crystals.
Not a pedal but my Marshall Silver Jubilee 2554 uses LED clipping and it was made in 1987.

Its like modified shredmaster with extra gain stages and dif tone control
So how are the reissues compared to them OG’s?
The BluesBreaker schematics have been online since the box originally came out. No reason to pay Marshall nearly 200 bucks for a goddamn overdrive pedal you can solder together yourself.
S the guv’nor used by Radiohead on ‘creep’?
Disney had the Abbey Road sessions
Again no 11 on Marshall
Of COURSE tuning time needs a stinger
I get the idea of reissuing pedals that "look" like the originals, but this inevitably leads to oversize pedal enclosures. I much prefer the profile and shiny metal tank aesthetic of the "2" series.
