The Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Deluxe sets a whole new bar for British-style amp-in-a-box pedals. This feature-laden stompbox picks up where the original DLS left off, sporting a tweaked preamp circuit, a phase inverter, a power amp sim, and an output transformer. You get easier access to oft-used controls, including a Super Lead/Super Bass toggle and a Presence knob. You also get a flexible boost circuit that can be used independently of the pedal's main circuit. You'll benefit from extra clarity, thanks to the Dirty Little Secret Deluxe's internal tightness trimpot, along with dead-simple DI-ing, courtesy of the pedal's dedicated line-level output. The Deluxe also includes a pristine-sounding output buffer to ensure healthy signal levels in every guitar rig configuration. Your search for the ultimate British amp emulation for your pedalboard ends with the Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Deluxe.

Goes way beyond its predecessor

The original Dirty Little Secret pedal boasts a spot-on emulation of a British-style preamp circuit. The Dirty Little Secret Deluxe goes way beyond its predecessor, incorporating a phase inverter, power amp simulation, and output transformer into its design — it's an extremely authentic take on everything inside a British-style guitar amplifier's chassis. The Deluxe has also externalized its forerunner's Super Lead/Super Bass toggle, making it easy to select which British amp flavor you want to emulate. The Presence knob lies on the outside of the stompbox for fast, easy access.

Must-have Deluxe features

Along with a refining of the original DLS's features, the Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Deluxe also has a few new tricks up its sleeve. Its internal tightness trimpot enables you to shave a bit of low end off your signal for extra clarity — a must for thrash metal aficionados. This highpass filter is disabled at its lowest setting, and it cuts up to 230Hz at its maximum setting.

Exposed: a dirty little boost

The Dirty Little Secret Deluxe includes a single preamp tube simulator configured as a boost circuit. What's more, you can use the boost independently of the pedal's main DLS circuit. You can place the boost before the main DLS circuit for extra saturation, or you can place the boost after the main circuit to give the front end of your guitar amplifier a well-deserved spanking.
