wow thats some funky punctuation you got there!

I dont really get what you're asking, the thread suggests a budget Marshall sound, but then you say that you want a Malekko B:Assmaster.

The two are completely different.

There are loads of marshall-type pedals out there. I actually thought the current Marshall Guv'nor mkII is great on bass and is actually a Marshall pedal and dirt cheap.

The cheaper alternatives to the B:assmaster is the Bogdan Brassmaster clone that can sometimes be found on ebay. Its significantly cheaper than the Malekko but looks significantly less cool.

Check out the Marshall Jackhammer as well.

tech 21 has the british emulator. im sure olc has a circuit for marshall. it has been said that the keeley mod DS-1 is a "marshall in a box". might be a little off, but its certainly not bad.

the b:assmaster is a ridiculous sounding fuzz. extremely un-natural, and certainly nothing that has ever come out of a properly functioning marshall

I have a marshall jackhammer and it's pretty nice. It actually can provide more low end.
