Marshall Shred Master Pedal

Marshall ShredMaster pedal


Marshall were the originators of the sound of rock and are the masters of guitar sound dynamics. The Shred Master pedal contains the most extreme gain levels yet produced. From smooth lead and crunch, through hard rock and power rhythm, to all out thrash and death metal, this pedal has it all.

CONTROLS

1 GAIN - This controls the intensity of the drive and will provide a stunning range of overdrive selections. Lower settings give sustained lead and potent crunch rhythm tones. As the gain increases, the sound gets wilder with massive sustain even at low volume levels. Full gain settings are not for the faint hearted!

2 BASS - Controls the lower frequencies giving a range from thudding, heavy rhythm, to tight and punchy solo response.

3 CONTOUR - This control provides the key to an unbelievable range of distortion tones. When backed off, the sound is smooth and fat for more lyrical blues/rock playing styles. Increasing the contour changes the character of the mid response and enhances the treble and bass frequencies. The effect is devastating, with high contour selections delivering a barrage of thrash metal tones.

4 TREBLE - High end response control which tailors the attack and enhances the harmonic content.

5 VOLUME - Provides control of the overall level and amount of boost.

6 SWITCH - On/off switch to bypass or activate the pedal with indicator LED to show the status.
