http://mybloodyvalentine2.tripod.com/ also is pretty interesting reading about kevin shields
and these magazine scans are pretty cool too, the pages are in backwards order, however.

It could quite easily be the Drivemaster, same case as the Shredmaster but the circuit is essentially a Guv'nor minus the effects loop. So it wouldn't be so strange for him to have used a Drivemaster mid-tour if the by then discontinued Guv'nor buggered up.

...but yeah, in that photo it's definitely not a Guv'nor.

Interesting, I didn't know that. I'd always presumed them to me entirely different overdrive/drive type pedals.

They both use the same op-amp driving a pair of clipping LED's to create distortion. From a quick glance at the schematics, they appear to be really really similar.

I was told that they're pretty much the pre-amp from the solid state JCM800's (the Lead 12's or something like that). I had both at one point and they sound neigh on identical, the Drivemaster was a little brighter but they both nail that Isn't Anything tone.
