Ramble FX: Marvel Drive 3 - Revisited!



Published

The concept is simple: Can a Marshall SLP and give it the same basic controls with the added benefit of a Master Volume. Pop a voltage doubler in there for added dynamics and headroom. Make it look smart, keep the switch quiet and place all jacks on the top to minimise the footprint on a pedalboard. And make it rock. And rock the Marvel Drive 3 certainly does!

I found this guy in a dark corner of my pedal stash and brought him out for some air. I know I demoed a V3 some years ago but I'm pretty sure that demo was not received as well as I'd hoped, so I'm having another crack at it to do the pedal the proper justice it deserves.
