Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Mountain Edition Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Mountain Edition Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

The Dirty Little Secret was designed to be the secret weapon in your tone arsenal. Want to get cranked amp tones at bedroom rocker levels? Playing gigs but have to use whatever amp is provided as the backline? Like your clean amp sound but don't care for its overdrive channel? Love your fuzz pedal but it needs to be plugged into a cranked amp to sound good? Enter the Dirty Little Secret! The Dirty Little Secret (DLS) is an overdrive pedal designed to bring you the sound and response of a classic Marshall amplifi­er. It, like the other pedals in our Foundation Overdrive range of pedals, is designed to be a “foundation” pedal - it is your “always on” pedal that forms the core of your guitar sound which you can enhance and embellish by adding boosters, fuzzes, ­lters, 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 your guitar's volume knob back! That's the way the old school Marshall players did things!

Key Features

• Two distinct voicings - “Super Lead” and “Super Bass” switchable via an internal slider switch.
• A full three-knob treble-middle-bass tone control complement that reproduces exactly the tone circuits of the Super Lead and Super Bass amps.
• 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. Higher gain than the Super Bass mode, Super Lead mode is perfect for use with humbucker-equipped guitars. It's gain range goes from classic plexi all the way to modifi­ed JCM800 levels
• 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). This mode was voiced to really hone in on that elusive in-between “not quite clean, not quite dirty” response that old tube amps were so good at getting.
