For over 46 years the Marshall name has been
synonymous with the greatest guitar tones in all forms of
rock music. Our R&D department has gone to great
lengths to ensure that our pedals all exude that essential
ingredient – the ‘Marshall Sound.’
Now eight-strong, our range of effects pedals offer the
opportunity to augment classic Marshall tones or add
Marshall character to any guitar set-up.
In keeping with our world-renowned heads, cabinets and
combos, all Marshall pedals have been thoroughly road
tested and stomped on countless times to ensure optimum
performance and reliability.
Presenting the RG-1, RF-1 and EH-1. In addition to
possessing their own unique features, each of the three
new pedals boast the following: six digital modes, three
parameter controls per mode, passive bypass, stereo
outputs and optional control pedal input.
RG-1 Regenerator
The Regenerator is a chorus, a flanger and a phaser all in one sturdy
shell. This stereo modulation pedal offers six different modes for you to
explore:
Vintage Chorus – A classic chorus, adding mellow sweeps to high speed
vibrato and everything in-between to your sound.
Multi Chorus – Based upon Marshall’s classic Supervibe pedal, its unique
sweeping pattern allows you to create simple sweeps through to
complex ensemble sounds.
Vintage Flanger – The versatile vintage effect let’s you go deep and
detune your sound to extremes. Turning up the Regen control causes the
effect to soar across your sound, while turning it down creates natural
flange effects.
Phaser – A rich phasing effect making your sound swell with energy,
creating fluid waves which wash around your tone.
Step Phaser – Adding a crystal staircase to the phaser allowing you to
trip around its sweeping textures.
Vintage Vibe – A subtle vibration that swirls around your playing, bringing
back memories of a classic sound not yet forgotten.
The Regenerator will entwine itself around your tone while leaving you in
full control. It’s every modulation pedal you’ll ever need.
RF-1 Reflector
The cavernous Reflector reverb pedal projects your sound into the third
dimension. Six reverbs add diffuse trails to your playing without ever
swallowing your tone. It’s stereo outputs create reverbs with wide
spacious fields. Connecting an expression pedal to the RF-1 allows you
to open up the sound as you play.
Hall – A large, lush reverb, adding smooth diffuse trails to your tone
without ever drowning it.
Plate – Recreating the sound of a high quality studio plate reverb,
bringing space and presence to your tone.
Room – A small reverb, wrapping a subtle presence round your sound.
Spring 1 – Recreates the classic sound of a Spring Reverb with its
characteristic pulse and resonant ambience.
Spring 2 – This mode takes the sound of springs and infuses it with a
lush reverb that only a digital pedal could, providing you with the perfect
combination of old and new.
Reverse – The Reverse mode creates ghostly textures as your notes spill
backwards out into space before rushing up to your face.
With controls for Reverb Time, Damping and Level for each mode, you’ll
easily find the sound you’re looking for.
EH-1 Echohead
Create pulsing tones and add dense rhythmic textures to your sound.
The Echohead features a maximum delay time of 2000ms, stereo outputs
and a Tap Tempo input which allows you to externally control the delay
time with a simple tap of your foot. In addition to controls for Delay Time,
Feedback and Level, the EH-1 offers you six versatile modes.
Hi-Fi – A solid delay line throwing out crystal clear repeats of the input.
Analogue – Filters shape the echoes, adding a subtle tone and
recreating the sound of the guitar cascading through old analogue delay
circuits.
Tape Echo – The narrow bandwidth and unstable whir of a tape delay
inspired these ‘old school’ degenerating echoes. The random wow and
flutter of an old motor adds a warm organic chorus to the dark textured
delays.
Multi Tap – Multiple echoes pulse out of the pedal providing a dense
rhythmic sound.
Reverse – Sucking the sound out backwards, the Reverse mode trails out
a series of hypnotic repeats creating psychedelic textures.
Mod Filter – Sweeping across your sound, synced to your delay time, a
modulating filter adds movement and depth to the echoes.
The dual outputs offer the choice of using a passive bypass for the main
signal path to ensure complete tonal integrity or to allow your pedal to
spill-over, permitting your echo to naturally die away.

PEDAL SPECIFICATION: RG-1/RF-1/EH-1
“All of these Marshall pedals tick the right boxes, both in terms
of their truly impressive build quality and, most importantly,
the sheer variety and quality of each pedal’s effects leaves
very little to be desired.” Tim Slater, Guitar Buyer magazine.
