The original Guv'nor was the first modern Marshall overdrive pedal and proved incredibly popular throughout the world. The Drive Master takes things a stage further, with a new tone and drive network to push performance levels even higher. Where most pedals provide a pair of tone controls, the Drive Master offers a three band tone network which is like adding an extra amp to your set up, with real Marshall tone and overdrive.

CONTROLS

1 GAIN - This control provides the amount of drive and distortion. Lower settings are ideal for crunch and blues, with the intensity increasing to a rich full metal tone as the gain is advanced. 2,3,4 BASS,MIDDLE TREBLE - Three band EQ network which combines to give the fullest selection of guitar tones. The Middle control is particularly effective for "fattening" or "hollowing" the sound to suit the playing style. Experimentation with the extremes of all the controls will provide your optimum settings. 5 VOLUME - Level control for the overall output of the Drive Master. Due to the high output levels giving dramatic volume boost, care should be taken in setting the level balance of the signal with and without the Drive Master switched in. 6 SWITCH - On/off switch to bypass or activate the pedal with indicator LED to show the status.
