Marshall The Guv’nor Mk1 (1988/89) – the legendary “Marshall stack in a box,” built in the UK. Authentic tone, full 3-band EQ, and collectible vintage status.
Step into Marshall history with the original The Guv’nor Mk1, released in 1988/89. This iconic pedal was designed to deliver the roar and authority of a Marshall amp in a compact stompbox, quickly becoming a favorite among guitarists worldwide.
Featuring Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, and Level controls, The Guv’nor was one of the first pedals to offer a full 3-band EQ section, giving players unmatched control over their drive tones. From subtle breakup to searing leads, it responds dynamically to your playing style, offering the unmistakable British crunch Marshall is known for.
Unlike later reissues, these early UK-built Mk1 models are prized for their tone, build quality, and collectible value. With its bold black enclosure, red script logo, and rugged design, this pedal is both a workhorse and a piece of rock ‘n’ roll history.
Own the pedal that started it all – The Guv’nor Mk1 is more than gear, it’s history.
