This is a direct follow-up to my Pedal Primary Colour Wheel article where I noted the direct correlation between the colour Red and Marshall-style Drive and Distortion pedals. I named 6 that fitted the bill then, and I’ve found a few more to complete an elegant colour-matched grouping. The post was triggered by the original article, but also my recent acquisition of the Sitek Wuffy Distortion. Note that these pedals vary between Plexi and JCM-800 styles of drive - some cover more territory, while others are a lot more focused. Not all of these specifically claim an allegiance to the Marshall sound - but they all have that signature crunch that most of us know and love so well. With the acquisition of the Sitek Wuffy I now have 4 of this number - along with the Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Red Mod, MI Effects Super Crunch Box V2 and Wampler Pinnacle. I have also had the Dawner Prince RedRox and JHS Andy Timmons Plus on my wishlist for a while. The MadProfessor Mighty Red Distortion and MXR Custom Badass ’78 Distortion are included here for the first time. I obviously have thing for Marshall drives - and I feel a few more of these will certainly find themselves in the collection before long. Amptweaker: TightRock Jr™ I've featured this pedal a couple of times on my site previously. This is a an excellent Crunchy Plexi-style pedal with 3 character modes - Plexi | Regular | Smooth, 3 Gain Modes - Fat | Regular | Tight, a variable Noise Gate and Volume | Tone | Gain knobs.

This recent limited edition souped-up DLS contains more tone-shaping and punchier gain than the standard MKIII version. It sold out pretty quickly, and I was lucky enough to bag a copy. As noted previously, the Catalinbread DLS has long been Andy Martin's favourite Marshall-style drive, while I have a slight preference for some of my others - which unfortunately are not red!
