Anyone still digging their Guv´nor pedal?

[Dave L]

Hi guys, I´m not much of a pedal guy but I came across this the other day and figured it might be nice to have around. Gary Moore did OK with his, you know Anyway, I think it is pretty cool, you can really get a crunchy channel singing like crazy with it and it has a nice voicing. I think it sounds better than the typical fare of Tubescreamers when you want the pedal to add some overdrive of its own, but as a booster I don´t think I´ll be reaching for it.

They are great with old Marshall’s !

 

[Dave L]

Absolutely, I´ve tried it with a ´75 Super Lead and the crunch channel of a Soldano so far. The Marshall really gobbled it up anywhere you dialed the Guvnor, but with the Soldano you had to roll out a bit of the bass knob since it´s voiced a lot thicker.

I loved Wayne’s version of it.

I loved Wayne’s version of it.

With the right amp and pickups , it's a definite winner .

It works as a booster but you def cannot crank the gain or it gets wooly and too much. Perfect companion with an 800 and passive pickups. But yeah, there are a zillion other boosts that do as good or better. It does compliment the Marshall drive nicely though. Feels enough like an extension of the amp.
