I like it ok, It's pretty flexible. I saw a guy in a small 3 pc that used just that pedal and a slightly modified Fender Blues Jr (new tubes and a Vintage 30), and he had a very nice tone. Someone here has one though I think, if I remember correct.

I have one. It's pretty good. Nice boost and sustain.

I don't have the new one. I have th older UK version (in the black box).

If they're similar at all, I would say that it's a great way to add a distortion channel to a single-channel tube amp. I found the pedal to be a little too buzzy with solid-state amps though.

Another pedal that is very similar to the Guv'nor/DriveMaster in circuitry and design is the Danelectro Daddy-O. Have you checked that out?

A friend of mines that I've heard, always seemed a little too noisy.
