Even though it is well known as a tool used by Radiohead guitarist, Jonny Greenwood, the Marshall Shredmaster was definitely a full on 80's heavy metal distortion. TSometimes there's a thin line between what's an overdrive, what's a fuzz, and what's a distortion. The Marshall Shredmaster is definitely a full on 80's heavy metal distortion. But it also has the dynamics to pull off a very nice overdrive tone as well. The Build Your Own Clone (BYOC) Shredder kit packs all the tone of the original pedal with volume, gain, bass, treble, and contour knobs into a box that is half the size of the original... and with true bypass. It's voiced to turn even a 6 watt open back combo with an 8" speaker into wall of Marshall full stacks. It's like having a JCM series in a box. Rock on!

* This pedal comes with a custom painted enclosure painted by Kevin Martin. The pedal's paintjob will be similar in style but not necessarily the same colour scheme as those examples pictured below.
