Description

The Guvernör is a Overdrive/Distortion pedal, delivering a very crunchy sound. Often compared with the sound of a 800 stack. It is based on the first series, with the big enclosure.

The 3 band EQ (Bass/Middle/Treble) is doing a great job and gives a great versatile overdive pedal!

An Overdrive with more balls!

It is not the perfet replica of the Marshall one, but you can simply change the op-amp and the diodes/LEDs as you wish. I put a DPDT switch to pass from one diodes set to another. It has a bit more gain than the Tube screamer OD based, so you can have distortion even on clean channel. It is a little bit difficult to fit all the components inside the box, take a little time to figure out the layout inside of it. The wiring is very simple and the result is very good! Best buy!

Happy with it

Ill give 5 stars as I got what I wanted, Gary Moores tone/overdrive.
Im very satisfied with the overdrive and how it performs.
My kit included the PCB for the 3PTD switch, which was not in the diagram but I used anyways... and had trouble, luckily I had another switch that I used instead (without pcb) and that solved the issue.
I did not get an enclosure as I printed my own, but I definitely should have ordered the knobs too.
in a nutshell: awesome kit, fair price. it delivers whats promised.
Ill be ordering another kit soon enough.
