marshall guv'nor gv-2 original

[Paulo Shure]

GREETINGS: I have a marshall gv-2 original Guv'nor and would like to add more gain believe it would be changing the c10 2.2k and capacitor c9 but I am in doubt whether it's right someone could help me in this problem?

If you need more "Volume" just raise the clipping threshold (by additional series diodes)

If you need more "Distortion" you can raise pot's value

You can of cource lower R1 but you'll have to raise C1 by the same ratio, which is also true for R2 & C3..

I tried a few modifications that found in some forums but all are handmade to pedal and not to the original would have any suggestions mod so that in 50% gain remains for high gain? or put a key to switch between low average and high ps: I'm using google translator because my English and very weak'm from Brazil.

O.K. Paulo..

If you want more gain just add a booster (seperate box) to the output..

the main idea and use only one pedal as unity gain if you are using only one and better. For testing and small presentations using just a pedal.Por that the idea of leaving masi versatile in order to use since overdrive until a strong distortion.

i have a guv,bluesbreaker and a shredmaster. i modded the shredmaster for more highs. i love the shredmaster it can be a guvnor when set mild and a bad to the bone modded marshal when pished.
