Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Drivemaster is Marshall's black overdrive pedal, built around a tone and drive network developed from the original Guv'nor. Its five controls give you gain and volume alongside separate bass, middle, and treble adjustment, so the pedal can be shaped from its own control panel rather than a single tone knob. A single 1/4-inch input and output keep the pedalboard connection straightforward. Power it from a regulated center-negative 9–18 VDC supply or a standard 9 V PP3 battery.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pedalboard setups that need separate bass, middle, and treble adjustment alongside gain and volume.
- Guitar signal chains using one 1/4-inch input and one 1/4-inch output.
- Players powering a pedal from regulated center-negative 9–18 VDC or a standard PP3 battery.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Power supplies outside the listed regulated center-negative 9–18 VDC requirement.
- Signal chains requiring more than one input or one output on the pedal.
