    asking the impossible....

    so i have a master volume 1x12 marshall combo that sounds superb especially with a nice overdrive pedal.
    I also have as my main amp a fender priceton reverb II which is my main gigging amp. With it i use a fulldrive.
    Thing is....id love to be able to use the princeton as i do normally, but somehow magically use a stomp box to make it react like my marshall. juts for a laugh i plugged the fx out from the marshall into the fenders regular input and it sounded great.
    Sooooo....any pedals that will sound like im using the marshalls preamp section? I know many have tried and failed over the years and cos i have the two amps sitting next to each other im gonna be very hard to please in the "marshall in a box" category. But im open to suggestions (even to people who think i can do it with a ds1!). Id really like a pedal that also works well with an overdrive in front of it.
    Marshall amp tones from a fender.....
    this is why its titled asking the imnpossible....

      yeah that pedal does look like the goods but its 369 bucks in australia and an import model wont work on our 240v power.

        Get any of the Marshall type od's : Jackhammer, Gov'ner, Danelectro Daddy-0, Rat, just make sure it's based on the Gov'ner type circuit. Not a tube screamer type circuit.
        I use a modded Daddy-0 with my Bandmaster- it gets pretty Marshall sounding- sometimes, more than my Marshall!

          I use a Boss SD-1 with the drive at 9:00 and the level maxed after a tube screamer. The SD-1 set up like this really doesn't add any grit, it re-EQ's the signal by rolling off the bass and kicking up the mids several notches. It definitely gives a Fender more of a British voice and totally changes the way the tube screamer interacts with the amp. Plus, alone it gives you a clean "somewhat British" tone option.

            Try out a ZVEX Box of Rocks or MI Audio Crunchbox. Those are really good "Marshall In A Box" pedals. I favor the BOR due to it having the boost option.

                i like the sound of the marshalls in that zvex clip. But....hes trying to get marshall sounds out of marshalls...which is a lot different to getting marshall sounds out of fenders...Anyone have any experience with a BOR into a fender?
                and glassman i have spent a lot of time trying to use various pedals (including an sd1) in that configuration. That kind of setup (pedal order) is what im after, but i dont think a ts/sd1 type circuit wil get me there so thats why im looking here for other options.
                So really im looking for something i can use as a separate marshall style rhythm channel and then boost it with a ts type thing for dirty leads.

                  Fulltone Plimsoul maybe? On his site he mentions he uses it with combos and not with marshalls as it has that marshall amp type low mid thing? From what I see it looks like an improved OCD... worth a shot at least to look up.

                      I was getting a Marshall sound out of my Twin with the PlexiTone the other night. BUT... that open-back 2X12 Jensen-loaded cab just wasn't tight enough for my tastes. Would have to run different speakers for it fully to work for me.

                        i really like the concept of the plexi tone but at the best part of 400 bucks shipped here in australia its a big ask juts to try out another pedal that may or may not do the job. There arent any shops that carry one in stock for a tryout either.

                          I'm sure you could rig up a small transformer to match the v power requirement....lets face it the boss adapters are pretty small. If its a 230v version (which I think is available) then I'm sure it would work.

                            How about this ? Cost me about £90 in the UK. The company was set up by ex-Marshall guys which I think you can tell by the sound. Built like a brick sh*thouse too. The demo is done with a Fender DRRI. I've used it with a BOSS OD3 set for a clean boost in front of it and when you kick in the Blackstar the sound is awesome.

                            Actually I had the Blackstar in front of the OD3.

                              Why not just get an A/B or A/B/Y and bring your Marshall rig as well as your Fender. That would be an awesome setup
