FP01 The Guv'nor UK

This legendary amp was born in the late 1980s as the Effector that carried on the Marshall amp tradition!

Its drive sound, featuring an LED clipper, truly embodies Marshall's lineage. This is The Governor, famously hailed back then as "Even a JC (Jazz Chorus) can sound like a Marshall!!" I distinctly remember it breaking through big thanks to Akira Takasaki's use. Even amidst its intensity, you can feel a rich, smooth luster in the mids. Its wide-range 3-band EQ allows for highly flexible tone shaping.It features an Effect-Loop (Send & Return) jack that links with the unit's Bypass switch. Using a Stereo jack ⇔ Mono jack ×2 cable allows connection to other Effector units. The original Governor released in 1988 was made in the UK, while the 1998 reissue Governor was manufactured in Korea.Even among the British-made originals, early units had green circuit boards, while later ones used blue boards. The British-made Governor used Motorola or Texas Instruments TL072CP (or TL072C) op-amps, whereas the Korean reissue uses JRC 072BD (or 072D).Comparing the sound of the Korean reissue with the British original, the British original has a rich, thick sound with deep mid-low frequencies. In contrast, the Korean reissue has a strong high frequency range and a slightly weaker mid-low frequency range. A reissue version was also released in recent years.
