Introduction
Since we began in 1962, the Marshall name has been synonymous
with high quality distortion tones. Initially the way to get classic
Marshall distortion was to naturally overdrive one of our valve amps by
cranking it up to full volume. As time went by our Master Volume
heads allowed the generation of more extreme levels of distortion as
the pre-amps valves were driven into overdrive. Our first generation
pedals simulated these various valve amp type distortions in
convenient, cost effective stomp boxes.
The Jackhammer is the next step on from previous Marshall distortion
pedals. It contains our most extreme distortion levels to date,
combined with a Contour section that allows you to not only scoop out
the mids, but also choose the frequencies at which the scoop occurs.
This means that you can tailor your sound to your own individual
requirements.
Although the Jackhammer has more aggresion and gain than any other
Marshall pedal, we never forget our heritage. The sounds contained are
always natural and realistic, like a super high-gain valve head pushed
to the max.
The Jackhammer features two modes; Overdrive and Distortion.
Overdrive delivers an open crunch for that classic Marshall roar,
whereas Distortion gives you a smooth and singing compressed high
gain tone.
The Jackhammer features a passive bypass for the main signal path, to
ensure complete tonal integrity and has a quality of tone matched only
by its versatility.
Here follows a complete run down of the Jackhammer’s features for
your information. We have also enclosed a number of suggested
settings to help guide you. It should be remembered that these are
only suggested settings and you should experiment as much as
possible.
If you take the time to explore the many different overdrive and
distortion characters of the Jackhammer, you won’t be disappointed.
Features
1. Jack Socket
This is the output of the Jackhammer and is for connection to the
amplifier or to another effects pedal.
2. Mode
Allows for selection of the Jackhammer’s two modes; Overdrive and
Distortion. Overdrive gives you traditional Marshall open roar,
similar to JCM 800 style Master Volume models with more bite and
dynamics. Distortion Mode delivers a more saturated high gain
compressed tone, similar to the high gain channels on JCM 2000
models.
3. Gain
This increases the amount of distortion, taking you from vintage
Always use good quality shielded leads.
Always use 9V regulated DC supply with centre negative.
Although it may seem obvious the first action in achieving a good
effected sound (be it duration / compression etc.) is to find the
perfect bypassed sound. This will then allow the correct level to be
set with the effect unit to allow a cut or boost in volume and a
realistic tone.
On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume) to a
setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to get
unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal shaping on
the amplifier preamp.
