Marshal Shred Master Vintage Reissue pedal box

Marshal Shred Master Vintage Reissue

Marshall Shredmaster Vintage Reissue is a precise, UK-made reproduction of Marshall's first-ever high-gain distortion pedal. Originally released in 1991, the Shredmaster became a staple of '90s alternative rock—most famously used by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead to create his signature wall-of-sound crunch. The modern reissue perfectly recreates the heavy-duty metal wedge shape, graphics, and specific high-gain circuitry of the original unit.

What Does It Sound Like?

JCM900 in a Box: The pedal was originally voiced to mimic a cranked Marshall JCM900 amplifier.

90s Alt-Rock: Excellent for saturated rhythm thumps and thick, soaring guitar solos.
