Back to the OP:
I've owned an original UK big box Guv'nor which was amazing, but sold it due to it's size and bought a JHS Angry Charlie V2 which was alot of MIAB fun.
I currently own a Barber Direct Drive (V2?), and that is definitely worth checking out.
Next time I'm in the market for a MIAB I will buy the GV-2 for sure.
Also worth mentioning the Marshall Drivemaster - very similar to the original Guv'nor, but usually can be found a lot cheaper. Of the two I actually prefer it - it's a little more open and dynamic - but some people find the Guv'nor is marginally smoother. They're very close though.

Zvex Distortron also pretty decent too.
Highly dependant on what amp you’re playing through though!
i did try the Pettyjohn gold mkii. I thought the demos were fantastic. But I just couldn’t get it working for me. It had a strange mid frequency that I found a bit grating to my ears. I couldn’t seem to dial it out. Plus I tried it against the revival drive, which blew it out the water for me. It was after owning the revival for a bit the amount of adjustment started to bother me and I sold the pedal.

I actually think that the Marshall sound (whatever that means) is one of the easier ones to get in a pedal.

Also I have a vague memory that the old black Boss HM2 got a decent Marshall 80s tone?
