Marshall ShredMaster

Marshall’s black-box distortion: thick JCM-flavored gain with a contour control that can go from useful roar to instant Radiohead archaeology

The Marshall ShredMaster is a high-gain distortion pedal from the early-nineties black-box Marshall line, built to put a dense Marshall-style drive sound on the floor. Its gain range covers chunky rock rhythm, saturated leads, and darker alternative distortion, while the Contour control scoops or focuses the midrange in a way that makes it more flexible than the name suggests.
