Critic Reviews

Quick Hit: Outlaw Deputy Marshal Review - Premier Guitar

premierguitar.com

Outlaw Effects’ Deputy Marshal Distortion pedal packs a punch for a mere $40, delivering British plexi tones with a bright/normal toggle and gain control. Its true-bypass switching ensures a clean signal when off, and the level control is extensive. However, the distortion escalates rapidly, offering classic rock to hard rock tones, yet the single tone control hampers midrange articulation. The pedal struggles to achieve full, clear tones, often sounding either overly thick or shrill. Adding to the drawbacks, engaging the pedal produces audible noise through the amp. A budget-friendly option with notable pros and cons.
