Catalinbread gives the Dirty Little Secret an upgrade
Catalinbread Effects has announced an updated version of the Dirty Little Secret (DLS) overdrive pedal, now known as the DLS Red.
Similar to the previous limited-edition DLS Red-Mod, this version of the DLS Red comes in a red enclosure with some additional tweaks made to the basic DLS circuitry.
Like its previous iteration, the DLS Red is voiced to be a ‘Marshall-in-a-box’ type of overdrive pedal. However, it is also designed with tonal balance in mind to ensure versatility.
Compared to the standard DLS MKIII, the new Red version features a more refined set of gain stages, while also retaining the original’s hi-gain applications. Tonally, the DLS Red carries less muddiness in the low-mids which translates to greater punch and clarity.
The three-band EQ has also been altered for higher fidelity. Combined with the Master and Pre-Amp controls, the DLS Red allows for bedroom-friendly hi-gain tones. An internal slider switch allows the user to select from either a ‘Super Lead’ or ‘Super Bass’ tone profile, while a trimpot (also internal) fine-tunes the level of high-treble frequencies.
The DLS Red is hand-built in Portland, Oregon and comes with a four year warranty.
Available now and retails for $189.99. More information at catalinbread.com.
