Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal
The Dirty Little Secret gives you classic plexi to early 70s Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass sound and response. This is your ‘always on’ pedal, designed to be the foundation of your pedalboard, transforming any amp into those raging British stacks. It forms the core of your guitar sound which you can enhance and embellish by adding boosters, fuzzes, filters, and other overdrives in front of it – just like you would in front of a real amp. And the reason you can leave it always on is that you can get a great clean sound just by rolling back your guitar’s volume knob!
Product Features
- Super Lead: The ‘Super Lead’ mode gives you the great rock sound of a Marshall Super Lead amp with awesome harmonics, touch sensitivity, cab thumb, and kerrang.
- Super Bass: The ‘Super Bass’ mode gives you the tone and gain structure of a Marshall Super Bass (which is very similar to a JTM45, JTM50/100, or very early plexi).
- The Super Lead and Super Bass are two remarkably different amps, and so the DLS is essentially two pedals in one, not a two channel pedal.

I watched several videos, read several reviews, and then I decided that I would not buy an amp, and instead turn my Bassman into…
Very amp-like, sounds like a SuperLead! Love this pedal!!!! One of my favorite dirt pedals of all time!I use it with a few different amps and a number of different guitars. It works well for putzing at home and lower volumes to get me the dirt without killing my ears. On stage and at higher volumes it holds together well and retains the same character. I’m never surprised by the tone I get. it’s perfect. The DLS is also quite dynamic. Pick hard, you get more distortion, pick lightly, it cleans up. It responds to…
Versatile Drive Pedal that Gets the Job Done! Fantastic pedal that does a lot more than just Sabbath. This pedal is on my main gigging board and I use this for almost all of the heavier tunes my band does. It’s actually a very versatile pedal and even cleans up nicely, if needed. My only complaint, and it’s not really a complaint per se, is it was a little difficult to dial in when playing with a band. It took me a few rehearsals to get it to punch thru in the mix. The key, is running it at 18v. Once I started running at 18v, it instantly…
