The original ShredMaster from 1991 was Marshall's first ever high-gain pedal. It become synonymous with the high-octane rock and metal music that emerged throughout the '90s and beyond, capable of delivering swathes of red-hot distortion perfect for saturated rhythm sounds and searing solos. It wasn't in production for long though, and demand has soared for the ShredMaster's distinct, thrashy sound in the years since — making it difficult to get hold of one on the used market.
Thanks to this authentic and faithful Marshall ShredMaster Reissue pedal, that's no longer a problem! This is an exact recreation of the original ShredMaster, boasting the components and features that made it so special in the first place. The pedal casing is accurately modelled on the bespoke design of the original, with the gold ShredMaster name, raised Marshall logo, and the heavy-duty enclosure all right there as you'd expect. Whether you emulate the music the ShredMaster is famed for, or forge your own path, it's all down to you!
