The Dirty Little Secret (DLS) pedal delivers the classic plexi tone of early 70s Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass amps. It captures the iconic British stack sound and transforms any amplifier into a foundation for your guitar tone. Designed as a pedalboard staple, the DLS provides a strong base that works seamlessly with boosters, fuzzes, filters, and other overdrives.
Classic Marshall Tone
This pedal replicates the signature sound and response of early Marshall amps. It provides the familiar crunchy, dynamic tone that shaped rock and roll, making your guitar stand out in any mix.
Foundation for Your Pedalboard
The DLS acts as the core of your guitar sound. It is 'always on' and designed to interact with other pedals, allowing you to build and enhance your tone with additional effects.
Internal Mode Switch
The built-in mode switch offers flexibility in dialing in your preferred sound. It allows subtle tonal adjustments that adapt the pedal to different amp setups and musical styles.
Internal Presence Pot
The internal presence control lets you fine-tune the high-end response of your signal. Adjusting it ensures your tone cuts through without harshness, giving your guitar more clarity and presence.
Compact and Lightweight Design
With dimensions of 1.96in H x 2.36in W x 4.33in D and weighing only 0.4 lbs, the DLS is easy to fit on any pedalboard. Its small footprint does not compromise performance, making it portable and convenient for live and studio use.
