Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.48% — somewhat different

The Catalinbread CATDLSR is a version of the Portland boutique builder's Dirty Little Secret Marshall-voiced foundation overdrive circuit. The DLS models the tone and response of a cranked British Marshall amplifier, delivering classic rock overdrive with dynamic, amp-like feel. Controls include drive, volume, and a three-band tone stack based on Marshall amplifier EQ alongside a mode switch for Super Lead and Super Bass voicings. Used by blues and classic rock players seeking authentic British overdrive character from a compact pedal.
