Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Red Foundation Overdrive Pedal

If the classic Dirty Little Secret MKIII is your war-tested Marshall Plexi sidearm, Catalinbread's DLS Red is a finely-tuned and well-oiled (figuratively, of course) gain machine that they distilled into a more potent and volatile formula. Featuring a more refined set of gain stages that cuts through the low-mids of the original and brings you an extended barrage of punch and clarity, the DLS Red calls shotgun in the truck that is your pedalboard's dirt section. Catalinbread's flagship DLS circuitry has been modified to give you more of everything you love about the original with a touch more blistering, amp-smashing gain across both modes, as well as a more hi-fi EQ section and a fully-balanced - yet still very much Marshall - tonal profile.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Two Distinct Voicings: "Super Lead" and "Super Bass" Switchable via an Internal Slider Switch</span><br>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 modi#ed JCM800 levels. And, just like a great Plexi, you can go from clean to scream with just a twist of your guitar's volume knob. Like a Super Lead, it's voice is all about thump and upper-midrange kerrang. This is THE rock sound! &nbsp;<br><br>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. And it was specifically voiced to make fuzz pedals sound great (especially two-transistor based fuzzes like the fuzz face). Plug a Strat into a Fuzz Face into the new DLS in SB mode and you'll see what we mean! It's voice is deeper bass, and an emphasis on the lower midrange band (in contrast to the Super Lead mode's upper mid-range emphasis) and sounds especially great with Fender style guitars. (And basses too!) &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Treble</span><br>Controls the higher frequencies: Clockwise for more, counter-clockwise for less. Treble acts like a "mixer" control between the treble side and the middle/bass side. &nbsp;<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Master</span><br>Controls the overall volume of the pedal: Clockwise for more. counter-clockwise for less. For the best response out of your DLS, you should set the Master volume so that the sound with the DLS engaged is a bit louder than your bypassed sound.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Bass</span><br>Controls the lower frequencies. Clockwise for more bass, counter-clockwise for less. Don't feel like you're doing something wrong if you find yourself wanting to run the Bass control at a very low setting as there is plenty of low-end on tap.<br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pre-Amp</span><br>Determines how much gain or overdrive. Clockwise for more; counter-clockwise for less. The lower you have the Pre-Amp knob, the higher you'll want to have the Master control, and the higher you'll be able to get away with setting the Bass knob. <br><br><span style="font-weight:bold;">Middle </span>
