Shredmaster when?
Apparently, the reissue also includes the Shreadmaster and the Drivemaster in addition to the Bluesbreaker. But the Bluesbreaker just seems to be getting all the hype.

Are we going to see a load of this then? As Grant said, 'meh'. What's next? Ibanez Sonic Distortion? All those DOD pedals?
If there’s demand then I expect so, the funny thing is John hasn’t used this pedal in years, they’re a bit slow off the mark!

DOD Reissues are going to be a thing lol
I was asked to represent the DOD range by Rhino Music the then distributor ( back in the early 80's ). Did a mini show for all the industry mags which was me standing on a stage complete with lighting towers and dry ice playing along to a piece of music I'd recorded featuring many of their pedals. All good so far. Then I had a sit down with the owner of Rhino who asked me what I thought of the gear. I assumed he wanted an honest appraisal of the stuff he was selling. Unfortunately me pointing out that they had 3 decent innovative pedals while the rest were far too expensive and feature deprived compared to Boss 's offerings wasn't music to his ears.
Shortest gig I've ever had. Haha.

Clearly, Marshall decided to strike when the iron was cool to the touch. Like all things pedal related, it is very subjective; you're either into it or not. Most, no doubt will be brought up to be sculpted at exorbitant prices once the initial run is sold out.
