The Dirty Little Secret by Catalinbread is available in two versions: the classic Dirty Little Secret and the Dirty Little Secret Red. Both versions are designed to emulate the classic plexi to early 70s Marshall Super Lead and Super Bass sound and response. The Dirty Little Secret is described as an "always on" pedal, intended to be the foundation of a pedalboard, transforming any amplifier into those raging British stacks. The Dirty Little Secret Red is a more refined version of the original, featuring a more potent and volatile gain formula with extended punch and clarity.
Key technical specifications for both versions include:
- Power Source: 9-18V DC power supply (sold separately)
- Power Usage: 5mA for the classic Dirty Little Secret, 7mA for the Dirty
Little Secret Red
- Dimensions: Height 1.96", Width 2.36", Depth 4.33"
- Weight: 0.40 lbs

Both versions are hand-made in Portland, Oregon and come with a 3-year warranty. The Dirty Little Secret Red is priced at $189.99, while the classic Dirty Little Secret is priced at $179.99.
