Members separanets Posted December 27, 2007 Members Share Posted December 27, 2007 I was always meaning to try out the Hao Rust Driver, because it was a good imitator of the Marshall Plexi's tone. I can buy it only from Japan. However, on youtube I found some samples of the Marshall GV-2+ and the tones were speakingly like Marshall tube sound. That's strange, because I have a JMP-1 and it seems to me the GV-2 still sounds closer to Marshall tube amps. So I wonder if there's anyone who've checked out both pedals. Ah yes, due to some shipment issues a used Hao will be $130 for me while a used guv'nor -- $30-50. Thus, the GV-2 can be a deal. What do you think? Thanks.

Members Tribute2Johnny Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 my Guv'nor II+ eats tone when in bypass like nuts....i love the tone but it's a hassle to put in my chain even with a TB looper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snare227 Posted December 28, 2007 Members Share Posted December 28, 2007 I have a Rust Driver and it's very Marshally. Probably one of the best pedals I've tried to get that Marshall crunch. Just one volume knob and a three way eq toggle, but it sounds great on a clean amp. Haven't tried the other one you're talking about though, sorry.

I bought one on Ebay for $81 plus $7.00 shipping. Is the GV-2 true by-pass? I have a Marshall 100 watt combo and the Hao mimics the plexi full grind sound through my clean channel better than the OD-1 channel on my AVT-100. The OD-1 channel is suppose to be able to provide plexi-like overdrive, and it does, but not quite as good as the Hao Rust Driver. PM me if you like about the rust driver.

Members separanets Posted January 2, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 2, 2008 Now I've bought a used Guv'nor for $30. It's got really passive bypass. Wellm the tone itsn't that bad, but it has totally no sustain. The sound is very short. I compared it to my Deucetone Rat and Maxon 830 Distortion. And the GV-2 doesn't catch up with eather of them.

That's a shame. I wish I would have seen this thread earlier - I would have recommended against it for those very reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Belt Posted May 22, 2008 Members Share Posted May 22, 2008 instead of a looper, why don't you mod the pedal to true bypass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
