The Dirty Little Secret Deluxe will shape your sound into that classic rock and roll tone projected by supercharged Marshall amps. Catalinbread have designed this pedal to turn any amp into a British stack wall to blast your audience by being your core pedal. It pairs perfectly well with other pedals, whether you want to add fuzz, boosts, filters or an array of overdrives, this pedal will be compatible with them all, shaping your tone and allowing you to experiment however you wish.

This Deluxe version of the Dirty Little Secret gives you extra flavour to add to your core down. Whereas before with the original stompbox you had an internal presence pot, the Deluxe has an external knob so that you can dial your preferred Marshal Brit Stack characteristics, giving you the right amount of flavour to experiment and find the right tone for you. Another added bonus to this pedal is the independent boost circuit that allows you to run boost and DLS in any order you wish, giving you either high powered saturation or a fat boost in the front end of your amp. You have the power at your feet that is versatile and authentic sounding to truly shape your tone.

Fuzz Pedals

Fuzz pedals produce a thick, saturated and often unruly form of distortion with a character all of its own. From smooth vintage sustain to gated, spluttering and synth-like textures, fuzz is one of the most expressive and distinctive effects in guitar history.

Players use fuzz for psychedelic rock, garage, stoner rock, doom, indie, shoegaze and experimental sounds. It can feel more like an instrument than a normal drive pedal, responding strongly to guitar volume, pickup choice and playing dynamics.

Guitar Pedals

Guitar Pedals is a useful category for players looking to shape their guitar or bass sound in a more focused way. Products in this area can help with tone, control, routing, performance or creative sound design depending on the exact type of gear involved.

For anyone building a pedalboard, guitar pedals options can help fill a specific gap in the signal chain or open up new sounds that are difficult to achieve with an amp alone. They are worth exploring when you want a more personal, flexible and practical setup.

Fuzz

Fuzz pedals create thick saturated distortion with a raw and highly expressive character that differs significantly from standard overdrive or distortion pedals. Vintage-inspired fuzz circuits remain hugely influential in psychedelic rock, doom, garage, shoegaze and experimental music.

Different fuzz designs respond very differently to pickups, guitar volume and playing dynamics, allowing players to move between smooth sustain, gated textures and aggressive spluttering tones.

Guitar Pedal

Guitar Pedal pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Guitar Pedal related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
