Which drive sim is closest to the Marshall Guv'nor pedal?

[acwild]

I never got to play through one and am in a Gary Moore Marshall Guv'nor/JTM45 phase. Is this pedal unique?

Here is the only thing I have seen on it. Haven't tried it though.

Its not the GM setting on the Guv though. But maybe you can interpolate it out.
GM Guv settings that I have seen were:
Gain - 2 oclock
Bass - 2 oclock
Mid - Full
Treble - 4 oclock
Level - 1 oclock

i used to have one of the original ones that i bought new in the 80's and it sounded almost exactly like the 50w marshall jubilee i was playing through at the time.

i don't think any of the drives in the axe really come close. have you tried cascading one amp block into another?

it was a great pedal and it would be nice to have a simile in the axe. really good for pushing amps into full tilt screaming feedback, but with tone.

i bought another one recently, but sold it last year to help fund my axefx purchase.

i know gary favoured the Rat for a while and you can get some nice Moorish tones with the mid control up full and the mid freq around 500hz

Thanks for the replies! The Guv'nor settings in the video are very mild relative to the GM sound that I want but I'll try it and see if it'll get me close. I thought about the Rat as a starting point. Since I have no experience with the Marshall pedal, I was wondering if it had some nuances that make it unique.
Do you guys know if the newer versions sound like the ones in the 80's?

Somebody posted this recently--have no idea if it is a close approximation, but I have used it in a couple of presets with decent results.
