Introducing the newly reissued Marshall Shredmaster Distortion! Originally released in the early '90s, the Shredmaster was Marshall's first high-gain pedal. Not exactly an amp in-the-box like their Bluesbreaker, Guv'nor or Drivemaster pedals, the Shredmaster is maybe better described as "amp-in-a-box with a boost hitting the front of it." If you're thinking of a JCM800 or JCM900 being pushed to to the edge, you're on the right track.
Designed with metal players in mind, the Shredmaster isn't just higher gain, it also offers the compression you need to sit your guitar in the mix. For tone tweaking, the Shredmaster offers five knobs to dial in your sound: Gain, Bass, Contour, Treble and Volume. The Contour knob changes the character of your mids, while also enhancing the treble and bass frequencies.
Built like a tank, the Shredmaster is the perfect addition to your pedalboard for high-octane distortion.
In this demo, Guitar Center's Steve Lynch alternates between a Gibson Les Paul Standard and a PRS SE Silver Sky into the Marshall Shredmaster pedal, into a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker combo amp.
