The company name might be synonymous with guitar amps, but Marshall has been in and out of the pedal game since the SupaFuzz appeared in 1966. That said, it’s been a long time since we’ve seen any new pedals from Marshall, and now four have arrived all at once. However, they’re not strictly new as these are reissues of stompboxes that first saw the light of day in the ’80s and ’90s.
The Guv’nor was the first of these to appear in 1988, while the Drivemaster, Bluesbreaker and Shredmaster trio were first released three years later. All four were gone by around 1998, although Marshall did later bring out some smaller Asian-built versions that didn’t last too long, either.
