Marshall The Guv'nor Mk1 £100

Looking to shift my mk1 guv'nor.

Great distortion - esp for RATM fans

Decent condition - knobs are tight (ooo eer)

Based in Aberdeen.

Forgot I still had this!

I had one of these almost 30 years ago. I remember it quite fondly.

Is this the early British model or the later overseas one?

Unsure of the top of my head. I'm in the US this week, but I'll check when I'm back in the UK on Friday for ya

Judging by the picture I'd say it's the original. It definitely looks the same as the one I had back in about 1990. Awesome bit of kit these.

Agreed, in my shameful moonlight lighting as a weedy six-stringer, it’s my go-to overdrive, though excellent for bass too! 

Key distinction is the original flathead vs the Phillips head screw on the battery compartment. I have both, and both sound good,  but the original British one has that colllectability value!
