New @ CME | Marshall Pedal Reissues
The Legends Are Back!
Marshall not only has a storied history of amplifying the players that shaped rock music worldwide, they also have a prestigious heritage of reimagining their amplifiers as pedals, bringing “big back box” sounds to the masses! With these four reissued stompboxes—now available for pre-order at Chicago Music Exchange—you can tap into some of the most iconic distorted sounds in history, and shape the sounds of music for generations to come. Be among the first to get your hands on these revived classics!


Wazzap! Now that we have your attention with a cool joke, Tristan is totally jazzed to show you one of his favorite pedals, the Boss VB-2 Vibrato Waza Craft*, a unique twist on the underrated pedalboard essential featuring momentary “Unlatch” functionality for quick, on/off flourishes. (*Color-matched socks not included.)
Brand New Reissues from Marshall

Marshall Guv'nor Reissue Overdrive Pedal
Named after Jim Marshall himself, the Guv’nor was introduced in 1988, and was Marshall’s first pedal that offered their signature distortion tones. The Guv’nor immediately found a home on the boards of beloved players like John Klinghoffer, Gary Moore, and Nels Cline. From a casing that stays true to the original, to its smooth overdrive with a touch of compression, the new Guv’nor is ready to rule your pedalboard!

Marshall Bluesbreaker Reissue Overdrive Pedal
Inspired by Eric Clapton’s 1962 Bluesbreaker that helped make him “God”, the Bluesbreaker pedal has been seen on countless stages since its introduction in 1992. The new Bluesbreaker re-issue captures the magic of a vintage, ultra creamy ‘60s Bluesbreaker amp, with a little extra edge on tap to carry solos and let those harmonics ring out. This famous tone continues to shape the sound of popular music, with originals spotted on the boards of John Mayer, Frank Iero (My Chemical Romance), and Chris Buck (Cardinal Black).

Marshall Shred Master Reissue Distortion Pedal
Marshall’s first high gain pedal was released in 1991 and brought the thrashy metal and punk sound of the JCM800 to the masses. The original appeared on numerous tracks in the ‘90s, shaping the sounds of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, My Bloody Valentine’s Bilinda Butcher and Kevin Shields, and Blur’s Alex James. Harness its thundering power today!

- The Warthog Distortion goes right for the gut of all other distortions, offering incredible sonic range from a crystal-clear clean boost to scorched earth crunch.
- Those who know know Danish Pete. His signature overdrive and boost, The Dane, is the ace-in-the-hole for dynamic players who demand versatility.
- The Bunker Drive beefs up the famous Brown Source, increasing volume and adding a texture control while packing it all into a smaller, pedalboard-friendly enclosure.
- The Peacekeeper Low-Gain Overdrive pairs an active, post-gain control for treble and bass with a pre-gain mids/presence control for total tonal tailoring.
- ThorpyFx's first, the Gunshot Overdrive, puts every other overdrive in its crosshairs with a proprietary "gain engine" for maximum tonal range.
- The Field Marshall Fuzz improves on the legendary Big Cheese, shrinking the footprint, increasing the volume, and adding a tonestack bypass for more options.
- The Fallout Cloud Fuzz pays tribute to Triangle-era effects while simultaneously doing its best to blow them all out of the water.
- The Deep Oggin brings Lovetone's Dan Coggins back into the spotlight with 100%-analog chorus and vibrato circuitry, just like how it used to be.
- The Heavy Water isolates The Dane's desirable boost circuit into a small, standalone enclosure, adding a germanium diode-based boost in the second channel for switching or stacking, because why not?
- The third installment in ThorpyFx's "Vintage Reimagined" Series, the Veteran Si Vintage Fuzz and Boost squeezes silicon-based Smiley- and Rangemaster-style circuitry into one exclosure.
- Thorpy promotes the OTC-201 compressor to create the Fat General, a pedalboard tank, adding balance and sustain to your signal without the extra noise.
- The Team Medic Buffer, EQ, Boost, and Boost + offers tonal first aid for all, equally suited to the electric guitar as it is to bass and more.
- Also produced in collaboration with Dan Coggins, the Camoflange Flanger is another all-analog blast from the past, with modern functionality making it more versatile than any vintage model.
