The Marshall DriveMaster pedal delivers the unmistakable overdrive of a Marshall amp in a versatile stompbox. Originally introduced in the early ’90s, it was designed as an evolution of the Bluesbreaker pedal, offering more gain and expanded tone-shaping. With its responsive EQ and amp-like feel, the DriveMaster has become a favorite among players looking for classic rock crunch and expressive lead tones.

At British Audio in Nashville, we love the DriveMaster because it captures the essence of a Marshall head pushed into sweet overdrive — all without needing stadium-level volume.
