    Default Catalinbread Effects?

    Has anybody had any expirience with these? Ive been looking at their Dirty Little Secret pedal to act as a tube screamer type pedal for when im running through a solid state, or even just to stack this with the OD built into my Marshall tube.
    Any opinions on these guys, quality and sound wise? From what i hear, people have a love/ hate relationship with their products.

    I've owned a DLS Mk I (older version) and have played though their Semaphore Tap Trem and Montavillian Echo. They make good stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to try any of their offerings.

    I've had their Formula 5 and currently have the RAH. Again, I wouldn't hesitate to try anything they make. I really want to try the Naga Viper and the CB30.

    I read somewhere that their customer service guy is incredibly knowledgeable and well hung, but is also bald and a poor dresser. If that is a turn off, I would avoid trying them.

    I love my Manx Loagthan. Great tone, superb construction, easy to dial in, zero complaints. I couldn't ask for a better wooly fuzz.

    Oh, you will have lots of stacking options! You can, conceivably, stack all 3.

    I may have made up the 'incredibly knowledgeable' bit.

    the dls is great but not very tube screamery at all, a ts9 into a dls sounds great though. the dls is tighter, less mid humped, and crunchier.

    Many might also agree that Catalinbread's public representatives are prone to vigorously expressing their opinions.

    I have a WIIO and it has it's own unique sound - kind of rare in dirt pedals. It does the guitar volume thing really well - it all but disappears when vol. is decreased at the guitar. I like it, but find myself using my other drive pedals more (Subdecay Super Nova Drive and a Hermida Audio Zendrive).

    I'm really wanting a C'bread Pareidolia.
