Very satisfied  (By Seth)

I received my DLS yesterday and I am very pumped about it! Unfortunately I didn't get it from PGS because they were out of stock. This pedal is fantastic in sound! It really stacks well with other pedals (I use it with my Blackout Effectors Musket Fuzz and it sounds great). When I first took it out of the box I thought it sounded a little dull. I was disappointed until I remembered that it has an internal presence control. For whatever reason it was all the way clockwise, which apparently meant minimum presence. I adjusted it and it really came alive. I won't say, "Buy this pedal and it will forever change your life because it is magical." I will say, "Buy this pedal and you will not be disappointed with its natural, ballsy, amp-like sound." (Posted on 6/13/13)
Great plexi pedal!  (By Edward)

This is the best-sounding SL box I've ever tried. Had the DLS v1 and the Wampler Plexi Drive and got rid of them both. This one addresses the issues I had with those boxes. Definitely dig the SB mode and the added mid control. The bass control is much better on this than the Plexi Drive's bass switch. My only issue with this pedal is that the mode and presence switches are internal. My answer to the mode switch issue was to order a second DLS. Will be nice to have both sounds available on my board. I can see a day when C-bread moves those switches to the outside and and possibly makes the modes foot switchable. The sound is there regardless and can also get into JCM territory. It's a keeper! (Posted on 2/25/13)
Meh.... overhyped  (By Topsy Krett)

I just got one because of PGS's glowing review & video. When I received it, I tried it through my best-sounding amp, a blackface Deluxe Reverb. What I got was not quite a "plexi-in-a-box which transformed my tone". I hate to be the naysayer, but I just don't get all the hype about this box. It does what it does, nothing special really. The control set is good, although the tone is just okay. I have played Marshall plexi's a few times and this is not the sound I recall. It gets fuzzy-buzzy at higher gain settings, though it might work better run cleaner and used with other dirt pedals, as mentioned. (Posted on 2/22/13)

Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret MKIII

Catalinbread has a whole new Dirty Little Secret. The authentic Marshall sound of the MKII version has been redesigned around a new JFET for an even more substantial sound and greater tone sculpting versatility, with two independent circuits each delivering the distinctive sound of a classic Marshall Amp. Unlike a common overdrive, the JFET creates its viscerally satisfying tone without op amps or diodes for a richer, more organic sound, and the new three knob EQ is designed more closely to the tone-stack found on a Marshall preamp with an added Middle control.

The Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret MKIII offers the harmonically rich sound of a classic Super Lead, or, at the flick of an internal switch, the beefier sound of the Marshall Super Bass, perfect for single coils and fuzz pedals. Each mode has its own signature gain and tone stack characteristics, and both work as a foundation overdrive, one that you turn on and leave on for its outstanding tone-developing qualities. It stacks perfectly with other overdrives, fuzz pedals, or any other effects. Simple controls include Treble, Middle, Bass, Master, and Preamp knobs and an internal Presence trim pot that lets you fine tune the effect to your guitar and amp. The Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret MKIII is wired for true bypass and can run on a 9v battery or a standard 9vDC power supply, but it will deliver extraordinary clarity and headroom with an 18vDC power supply. Let it be your Dirty Little Secret.

    • All New JFET Circuit Design
    • Internal Switching for Super Lead and Super Bass Modes
    • Internal Presence Trim Pot
    • Treble, Middle, Bass, Master, and Preamp Controls
