Is there a 'boutique' Marshall Guv'nor type distortion pedal?

[Twinfan]

Pretty much as the title says really!

I've got an original Guv'nor on my pedalboard ( cheers sgmypod  ;) ) which is the best pedal I've found so far to do JCM800 type tones.  Unfortunately it's quite noisy, a bit thin and scooped sounding, and a bit transistor-y.  So I'm looking for something similar that fixes those problems.  I play into a clean JTM45 and other stomps I've tried are:

* Electro-Harmonix Metal Muff (a bit fuzzy, as you might expect!)
* MI Audio Crunch Box (bit too compressed sounding for me)
* ZVex Box of Rock (not enough gain, not tight enough)
* ZVex Box of Metal (a bit thin and fizzy sounding, annoying noise gate)

I'm a bit stumped as to what else I can try!  There are LOADS of plexi-type overdrive pedals but I can't find a good "Marshall heavy distortion" pedal.

Anyone got any other suggestions?  My Martamp Orion will have a heavy distortion channel when I get it, so I don't need any amp recommendations thanks!  I'm looking for something on my board for backup/flexibility.

Any ideas???

Isn't there a copy of the guv'nor out there..with the quietening mods and others to give more variance in tone.
Guessing want to keep original..original

I did a search, but couldn't find anything?

The award session JD10 has a hot-rodded-marshall vibe.

I would suggest one of the Blackstars but I am pretty sure you've had one of those as well  :)

I have always wanted to try one of the Soldano Supercharger pedals, not sure if they are worth a look for you

[sgmypod]

What about the new guv'nor plus..supposed to be an uprated version...but is new marshall..and not tried one

[sgmypod]

And at mo using my orig Drivemaster for that kinda sound..

Tech 21 British?  I have the Blonde and it goes from clean Twin to insane Bassman, so the British should do heavy marshall as well.

http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99&Itemid=26..on here a kit to build a guv'nor with modern improvments..but doesn't say what other than a true bypass..but may be worth a look

THe Lovepedal Purple Plexi 800 is a good bet at the moment, very much what you are looking for I think, Dave.

Also consider a BYOC Shredder pedal, (either as a kit, or ready built from http://axeandyoushallreceive.com/).
 I just got a BYOC Tube Screamer from "Axe and you shall receive", and it is top quality. The components are top notch, and I am very, very impressed by the low noise floor.

The Himmelstrutz Fetto is also an awesome, yet expensive, pedal that would suit you very nicely as well, IMHO.

BYOC stuff is very quiet..even when built by me

Thanks guys!  :)

To recap and comment:

* Blackstars - had the HT Dual, didn't like its colouring on my tone
* Soldano Supercharger - might have the same issue as the HT-Dual, more like a preamp when I only want a stomp
* GGG MDV - same as a Guv'nor tonally by the look of it, so no good
* BYOC Shredder - I've already got a Shredmaster, and it's a bit too smooth sounding for me
* Guv'nor Plus - reviews suggest it's cheap and pants

So that leaves:

Lovepedal Purple Plexi 800 - seems like a good option?
Himmelstrutz Fetto - £200 before I even post it, an unknown gamble?

or build one

[Twinfan]

I haven't a clue what to do to build one!

I haven't a clue what to do to build one!
