Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Deluxe represents the next logical step in Marshall Plexi emulation, reaching beyond the preamp circuit and adding the rest of the amp for an extremely authentic take on everything inside that chassis.
The original DLS circuit has upgraded and now features a phase inverter, power amp simulation, output transformer, toggle switch for Super Lead or Super Bass mode, external Presence knob controlling a low-pass filter, new internal Tightness knob controlling a high-pass filter, and a Line Out with dedicated +10dB output.
A piece of the Dirty Little Secret – a single preamp tube simulator – is featured as a built-in boost circuit that can be used independently of the main circuit. Thanks to the internal Effect Order switch, you can run the boost and DLS in any order you like, put the boost before the DLS for high-powered saturated JCM900 tones or after to make everything louder without sacrificing clarity.
Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Deluxe demo video
Back before most people heard the term “boutique” in reference to music gear, something was brewing in all corners of the globe, spurred by the Internet and the ability to share information freely. Guitar players began to look backwards to move forwards, combining time-tested approaches to pedalcraft with forward-thinking ideas.
The Pacific Northwest’s answer to this boom was Catalinbread, born in 2003 on Nic Harris’s kitchen table. After producing the Super Chili Picoso, the first Catalinbread-branded pedal exclusively for ToneFactor, a Seattle-based guitar shop.
Adventurous designs
The sales of this fur-lined pedal went on to fund some more adventurous designs, and before long Catalinbread had outgrown both its business model and modest shop space, packing up the truck and ending up in Portland, Oregon. We’ve been here since 2006, now manufacturing over 30 unique pedals, built by human hands, one by one.
