Marshall Drive Master

The Marshall Drive Master is a compact overdrive pedal from the company's British-built effects range of the late 1980s and 1990s. It provides a higher degree of gain than the milder overdrive pedals in the same series, with level, tone and drive controls, and it is designed to produce a distortion close to that of a driven valve amplifier, or to push an amplifier that is already working hard. Pedals of this kind formed a coherent range of British-made stompboxes in that period, and they remain in use on pedalboards today.
