The Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret mkI is the original version of the Portland boutique builder's Marshall-voiced foundation overdrive. The circuit models the tone and dynamic feel of a cranked vintage British Marshall amplifier, providing classic rock overdrive and crunch. It includes a three-band tone stack based on Marshall amplifier EQ and a mode switch to select between Super Lead and Super Bass voicings. The MkI is the earliest version of the DLS line, praised for its authentic British overdrive character in a compact pedal format. Used by blues, classic rock, and hard rock players.
The Way Huge WM31 Supa-Lead Overdrive is a mini format overdrive from the Smalls line, voiced to capture the dynamic, touch sensitive lead tones of a cranked classic British stack. It delivers crunchy, mid rich amp style overdrive that responds strongly to pick attack and guitar volume, cleaning up to lighter breakup and pushing into singing, saturated lead gain. With simple controls in a space saving enclosure, it offers a Marshall flavored rock voice that works as a primary drive or to push an amp harder. It suits classic rock, hard rock and blues rock players who want expressive, British voiced overdrive and lead tones in a compact, pedalboard friendly box.
