It's one of those pedals I always go back to. It comes off the board for a new flavour-of-the-month gain every now and then, but always comes back again.
I just love the control over tone. I don't necessarily try to achieve Marshall tone, I keep the gain in the lower half. Works through lots of different amp types too, with a bit of fiddling.
Recently they launched the Mini Jubilee - almost immediately someone posted something on their forum asking if a Mini 2203 was on the cards… and the thread filled up with people saying they'd buy one. Bear in mind that they have all the necessary parts apart from a new front panel already, so it would cost almost nothing to launch. Marshall's response… "we have no plans for that". Doh.
Just imagine if they released a new upmarket pedal range - say a reissue Guv'nor Mk1, Bluesbreaker, Shredmaster and a GV-2 - but put them in standard casings with 3PDT true bypass switching, decent jacks, and made them look cool. They would sell themselves at almost any sensible price.

I can see why they might not plan to do a mini JVM but the majority of their classics wouldn't take a lot of re-enginerring to shrink, surely. I'm looking over at my 1987xw and the chassis is only a few inches wider than the Hayden Mofo that's sat on top of it.
Seems to be a new TMB version of the super crunch box out now, too... of course no dealers here now.
(I thought your comment was worth a wiz too! Oh and as everyone- including me- suspected, I caved and got a GV-2 a good while back...)
