Marshall effects pedals - any good?

[manchild]

Are Marshall effects pedals any good? Im looking for a a good reverb or delay and was also considering boss and digitech

Any experience and oppinions on these?

Or would you recomend something else?

Thanks for any replies

Are you serious? A search would have turned up quite a bit on this topic.

They're generally well-regarded and offer very good value-for-money. The EchoHead is a great alternative to the Line 6 Echo Park.

I love my Echohead. Search through my posts - I rambled about it on quite a lot of occasions.

[Happynoj]

+1 to the search.

Also, I love my Jackhammer. Great build quality, great sounds. I think it does a pretty good Timmy C impression...

i have owned and used most of the range at some point or another.
They all offer great tones at great prices!

What does "any good" mean anyway?

[manchild]

it means are they reliable and sound good in comparrision to alternative makes - didnt think id need to draw you a picture

[PunkRocker33133]

Well I just demoed an Echohead at my local music store today and I loved it. My favorite models were the tape echo and slapback setting. I also played with the Edward Compressor which is also a very good effect.

I have a Bluesbreaker, Guv'nor, Regenerator, Echohead and Edward The Compressor. The only one I haven't liked is the Vibratrem.

Yes, they are Good Enough.

[40Hz_of_Love]

Yeah, I wonder how you like the Edward, since Bongo bashed it in one of his compressor reviews.

shiny knobs are a pain for adjusting on the fly

Ok, good is not an acceptable adjective when it comes to music. Dream Theater is a good band, so is Offspring, so is Dimmu Burgir and so is RATM, as in Marshall, Boss, Digitech, DOD, etc makes good pedals since people buy them. A pedal being good or bad is highly subjective.

You didn't tell what type of effect are you interested in, such as subtle, can go 3.0 seconds, has to have depth control, etc. So based on little we know on your preferences (we even don't know what type of music do you want to play), how can anyone rate something, solely based on if it's being good or bad.

Moreover, good can define many things including design, durability, versatility, intensity, etc. you didn't even tell what defines good in your understanding.

SO, What does "any good" mean anyway?

It's grammar.

But you keep making awesome stomp boxes and I'll keep knowing how to spell things and the world will go round smoothly.


At some point I'm going to pick up a Submarine, I just have to pay for stupid trivialities like living expenses and school first.

Haha! How ironic is that I actually mistyped, not that I didn't know it is grammar. I should check back what I wrote, especially when talking about grammar

edit: I was being sarcastic above, I intentionally wrote "super grammer". Sarcasm doesn't translate well into text.

Sorry i even asked - only wanted a general opinion from people who have used them, not an interogation. Which everyone else seemed to get?!? The info your asking is irrelevent as i didnt expect or want such an indepth response.

Nor an english lesson. So no that was not me 'drawing a picture' hence my point.

Some people need to get out more

Thanks to all that replied

No one else seemed to have a problem understanding what he meant.

i think i would have to say that these Marshall pedals are not only great value for money, but also very versatile, and useable in many styles of music!
