CONGRATULATIONS ON PURCHASING YOUR MARSHALL GUV’NOR PEDAL
Named after Jim Marshall himself, the original Guv’nor pedal was released in
1988 and set the bar for the generations of distortion pedals that have
followed since. This 60th anniversary reissue faithfully recreates the classic
sound of The Guv’nor, providing a smooth overdriven sound with a touch of
compression.
The pedal is housed in a casing that is accurately modelled on the design of
the original, from the unique shape right down to the individually coloured
control knobs. All that’s missing is the stories you collect over 30+ years of
use, but that’s where you come in.
We hope you enjoy your new pedal as much as we have enjoyed designing and
building it for you.

GETTING STARTED
This device requires power from either a 9V battery or a 9V DC power adaptor:
- To fit a battery, remove the compartment cover on the underside of the pedal. Insert the battery, connect it to the terminals and replace the compartment cover. Remove the battery from the pedal when not in use.
- When selecting a power adaptor for your pedal, ensure it is compatible with both the pedal and your mains supply. Your Marshall dealer can help you with this.
Warning: unsuitable power adaptors may produce unwanted noise or damage
your pedal.
