Re: Marshall in a pedal?
Why not just use the distortion from your Mesa? That has to be some of the most bonecrushing distortion known to man!

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
I've read (not tried 'em) that these two get quite close to emulating the Marshally sound:

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
I'd spend some more time setting up that Trem-o-verb...
Love those amps.
With EL34's and some time to grok it you'll be able to cop a reasonable Marshall tone. The channel cloning is the key...what was it, "red to vintage"..."dirt to orange" or something like that?
Basically you're copping the clean channels tones on the dirt channel, use the vintage voicing option, tube rectifier on spongy, NOT bold!
That should get you kinda in the ballpark.

Actually, a friend of mine has this http://www.tonebone.com/tb-hotbritish.htm and I have to admit it comes very close to his JCM 800 Slash Head in terms of tone. Pricey, but definitely something I'd consider.

V-Stack Classic
Amazing pedal that gives a remarkable marshall sound. Has radical controls that can dial in lots of different tones. Keeping the Drive knob on zero makes it a classic Treble Booster, increasing the gain gives everything from a plexi to endless sustained lead sound.
Apart from being a Overdrive pedal it's also a Direct Recording device with a built in speaker simulator. Just plug into direct in and it still sounds good. Honestly one of the best 150€ I've spent on guitar gear, I simply love it! Here are some soundclips for you, they are all classic rock and blues influenced played on my Thursday Burst (Tokai Love Rock), so no high gain stuff. But on all these clips the drive is under 2, and it goes to 10. So I can assure you, there's plenty of gain... alot more than in a cranked JCM800 if you need it

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
Another vote for the Hot British...it will give you all the gain you will ever need all on its own so can run it straight into a crystal clean channel and it works great!
Haven't tried the plexitone but apparently it's awesome...I'd look at both of them. Like someone else said, yeah they are pricey...but hey, you can't put a price on tone now can you

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
Plexitone or the OCD is pretty cool....You really need a Marshall 800 to get the 800 tones though...
I had a Tremoverb and it doesn't do the Marshall tone right! The amp compresses too much,is darker,and way too much fuzzy,mosquito crap in the preamp! Sold mine and I play through a Marshall setup for the Marshall sound..

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
another vote for the v-stack. though i only use mine as a direct recording device. i haven't messed around with it as a distortion device in front of an amp.

Re: Marshall in a pedal?
Since I got my 1960 BV cabinet for my DSL 50 I've been doing a lot of experimenting with differant pedals in my amps clean channel. Through my amps clean channel the one pedal that seems to deliver the most "Marshall" like tone is the Barber Direct Drive SS. I don't know how it would sound thru a Mesa, but thru my setup I can't believe how much it sounds like early Billy Gibbons.
