This is a second update review as I have had this pedal for a long time.
It is quite simply a manner of taking the schematic of a real Marshall and replacing the tubes with FET transistors.
They tune each transistor by hand to be like the matched tubes in the actual amp.
The result is if you substitute the pedal for the pre amp in the actual amp they are the same.
How cool is that.
The amp they cloned is a 1984 Marshall JCM 800 50 watt which had no master volume.
.....(that came in 1985)
I run it thru a 50 watt Plexi on 4 with a power attenuator.
It does everything the amp would do so playing is a blast and a half.
I actually take it for granted and is second nature to play it. I would never part with it.
CONCLUSION
Just one killer pedal. It is like owning a second amp!!!
NOTE:
If you buy one
Set the Bass and the Mids at 11 o'clock
Set all else at 4 o'clock and the volume to taste.
That will give you a dead on classic sound!
This was found out by using a real Marshall JCM 800 stack and
putting the pedal in the effects loop & then going from the amps
pre to the pedal and back until you could not hear any difference!!!
I was never so amazed in my life!!!!
