  • Catalinbread DLS (Dirty little secret) V2.2 MKI volume pot

    Hello!

    I've got a Catalinbread DLS MKI V2.2 since a week now. Sound is good but the volume pot is really sensitive..

    When the pot is at 0 and i turned it to get volume it gets extremely loud! i have the volume at 0.5/1 to match the volume of my amp(AC30). Is this normal with this pedal? Whem i'm watching youtube videos i can see that they all run the volume at 12oclock or so.. when i'm trying that my ears fall off..

    anyone experience this?

    I want to have this pedal to get distorted(ala slash) sound on my top boost channel that is already in overdrive. (Still not really satisfied tho)

    Tnx.

      Gain at noon and sometimes at max. But that doesnt change a lot.

        I had one a few years ago and didn’t have that issue. Sounds like something is wrong there. Can you exchange for a new unit?

            Tbh, I’m not sure which version I had then.
            It was probably about 5-6 years ago.

                Talk about sensitive, I run mine at 18v for extra headroom!!!

                I set the level differently for different amps but I don’t think it’s ever been past 11:00? In regards to running it through my AC-30, I find that setting the level knob between 9:00 & 9:30 & my gain up around 11:00, is about perfect.

                Anything past that is too much!!!
