Back in the day when I was young and less experienced, I ignored these because I considered them “distortion” pedals, and I was always after overdrive pedals that just sounded like a mildly driven amp. In the end I was always dissatisfied with the classic overdrives, and I eventually figured out that they didn’t sound anything like a mildly driven amp because of all the EQ shelving they do. Turns out I should have given the Guv’nor a better look after all, because it does sound more amp like than any of those tone knob overdrives ever could.

[SomeKindOfMadman]

I dug the track at the end, definitely sounded awesome. You’re right, about the reissue having more output.

[douglasstaggs]

I agree. That guitar is elegant in black, incidentally.

Reviewers always say what the companies market at sounds like slash and gary moore but its your style of playing that gives you your sound.

[maxwellblakely]

This is my favorite overdrive pedal sound, hands down.

Just bought the New Blues Breaker from Sweetwater Sound here in the States. Came to $269 USD. Cheers from Salem, Ohio US.

Killin it in your last jam man well done and thanks

Shoppinglist updated :) Had plans to get the Duke of tone and Timmy, but these reissues are all on my list. I am a huge Gary Moore fan and am looking forward to hearing them with my Les Paul and Music Man guitars.

Great video. I would like to see a video on the effects loop. My pedal just shipped today :)

[HardToBeSomeone]

Great demo - righteous Paul too - 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

Okay, so there's a few comments about the two sounding different. I want to point out two things, the first being that components age, especially capacitors. Aging caps will impact the sound of a piece of gear, there have been plenty of instances where people have felt like an amp or pedal didn't sound as good after a cap job. The second thing would be tolerances - many electronic components have tolerances of 10%, and when you vary the values across an entire circuit, you will almost certainly encounter discrepancies.

If you really wanted to do this right, you would do a cap job on the old pedal, and measure out each component in each pedal to get their values as close as possible.

[SurfGreenTelecaster]

The reissue is a little brighter at times, expected with newer components, but it's got a treble knob so no worries there. I wouldn't have any complaints about having either one. You're killing it with that LP tone, Chris! High E is the only top wrapped string. 🧐🤠

Maybe a coincidence but I'm in the process of installing my old Gov'n into my pedal board. I never used it enough but I'm definitely going to give it a go.

[OZRIC]

The raw sound of the Guv'nor effect is cool during the first part of the video, but I'm wondering what the setup is that you have at the end of the video where the sound is godly. What kind(s) of amp(s) and effects (like the reverb, etc.) are you using to get that awesome sound? Also, are you playing in stereo? Thanks.

[gmoney]

I bought one pre covid for like $85. It’s a first run for sure, serial 001278. I didn’t need it at the time but now it’s my only drive on a 4 pedal, pedal board.

[meowces]

Great review, not much in it. My vintage is completely dead after 25 years heavy use and deffo gonna get this re issue, thanks for the review

[douglasstaggs]

Love those chord changes & that authoritative tone

[GuitarRed]

Looks like they are officially released here in the USA, I preordered one from Sweetwater today! 😃

[greggallo]

[JJodell]

I have the Guv'nor and the Blues Breaker on pre-order, so excited!
