Personal revelation the other day: the marshall shredmaster is one of the best pedals ever. I was visiting my friend Dan Wiley, nerding out over distortion pedals, DS-1 mods as usual. I was testing them all out, he insisted on me hearing his favorite: marshall shredmaster clone. It doesnt really compare to RAT/DS-1/higain-tubescreamer/muff/anything. Its got its own sound and then the contour knob really makes it beautiful. The contour knob some kind of filter or midrange equalizer obviously but every position is a sweet spot. Sounds to me like changing a microphone position. You could probably get some real good use tweaking that contour knob while mixing for effect.
Some background on the marshall shredmaster,
Jonny Greenwood uses a marshall shredmaster, yes.
but Kevin Shields does not! This forum style quote below was posted in TOHEREKNOWSWEB, an unofficial MBV website. User evoluzione claims to be Kevin Shields's guitar tech for the Isn't Anything and Loveless tours.
just wanted to clear that up. Kevin Shields used the marshall guv'nor which looks exactly like the shredmaster, but isn't.
The original shredmaster is fairly overpriced($200) likely because of Jonny Greenwood and alleged Kevin Shields use, but there are several makers offering clones out there for about half what you would pay for the original.
spot on.the shredmaster as you now is mostly known as a pedal best suited to metal,yet having just atained one i have found it to be extremely versitile.useing just the shredmaster i went from black sabath to metallica to radioohead to cream!amazing pedal!
