A compact analogue pedal that recreates the voicing of Marshall's JCM800 amp, with Gain, Sensitivity, Tone and Volume controls.
Watch
Marshall's official demonstration clip is the sound reference for the JCM800 Pedal and shows the gain range from the company itself.
Why it matters
It is one of five pedals in Marshall's Overdrive Pedals Collection, launched at NAMM 2025, and its job is to put the JCM800's high-gain voicing in front of the amp you already own. The circuit is analogue and the pedal is true bypass, with a four-knob layout rather than menus. It runs on 9V DC.
Note
Compact stompbox version of Marshall's iconic JCM800 high-gain amp, one of five pedals in the Overdrive Pedals Collection launched at NAMM 2025. Analog circuit, true bypass and a four-knob layout (Gain, Sensitivity, Tone, Volume).
