Switch up your tone stack for a different flavor
Like the classic Dirty Little Secret, the Purple Edition has two distinct tonal profiles that you can experiment with. Inside the housing of the pedal, you’ll find the SL (Super Lead)/SB (Super Bass) mode switch. The pedal ships from Catalinbread in Super Lead mode, and we recommend that you experiment with it before you put it onto your pedalboard. Once you’ve got a handle on the blistering high-gain tones of SL mode, unplug the pedal and open up the back to slide over to SB mode. Super Bass mode reconfigures the EQ and provides in-between gain levels. The SL/SB switch is like having two gain pedals in one!
Tweaked EQ tone circuits
Unless you’ve never seen a Dirty Little Secret pedal, it’s common knowledge that the 3-band EQ is much more than it seems. The tone controls are configured differently in either SL or SB mode, and each control directly impacts the dynamics of the other controls. The Purple Edition of the Dirty Little Secret has a slightly different EQ that’s much more hi-fi than its predecessor. Your tone will be clearer than ever before and retain the same precision tweaking ability. Since each tone knob has its own personality, you’ll find it incredibly fun to dial in new tones and discover the scandalous secrets hidden in this pedal.
Insanely intuitive Pre-amp and Master controls
At Catalinbread, making pedals isn’t just a business model — it’s a lifestyle. Like us at Sweetwater, the designers at Catalinbread are gearheads. Their obsession means they want nothing more than to create pedals that inspire, influence, and inform their own playing. As such, they designed the Dirty Little Secret Purple Edition pedal to be as intuitive as possible. You won’t find any bells and whistles getting in the way of your playing, so twiddle away until you’re satisfied with the sound. Once you set the SL/SB switch, dial in the Pre-amp knob to control the gain. Once you get it just right, set your level with the Master volume control, and away you go. It really is that simple.
