Introducing the Clean Little Secret:
We’ve conquered the high-gain Marshall amp-in-a-box some time ago, and now our Clean Little Secret takes the classic low-gain Marshall BB formula and gives it a much needed refinement. We’ve beefed up everything from the classic amp enhancer, from the tone stack to the output stage and more, giving you just the right amount of kick. A completely overhauled tone section gives you individual control over treble and bass bands as opposed to a global tone knob, and we’ve added some more bells and whistles to push the unity volume level up quite a bit. Our designer’s favorite op-amp keeps the action whistle-clean until you push the gain, giving you delicious edge-of-breakup tones at the end of the dial, but subdued always-on enhancement tones at any other position. Some secrets are better left unkept!
🎨 Introducing the CB Paint, a late 1900s reverberator.
📖 One of the most lush and adaptable reverbs ever made, the Alesis Microverb is a late-1900s digital artifact, blurring the line between yesterday and yesteryear. We’ve painstakingly crafted some of that unit’s most memorable patches and outfitted them with several tasteful modern amenities. A nod to that era, we call this “CB Paint.” Much like the graphical equivalent it takes its namesake from, the Microverb wrested control of studio quality digital reverb and placed it in the hands of the everyperson. Because digital ‘verb was still an expensive undertaking in those days, Alesis had to cut a few corners to make everything fit both form factor and price point. Those cut corners present themselves as interesting reverb reflection filter options that exemplify this classic box without any of the pedalboard integration hassle. We’ve taken the liberty of outfitting our CB Paint with six of the more unique patches from the original Microverb, along with the gate and reverse patches, adding an actual Mix control, an adjustable low-pass filter and an “onset” control that determines how long it takes the reverb to appear after the initial input signal. We’ve had one of these around the offices for years and keep coming back to it. You will too.
Time to paint your tone with some classic sounds… 😎.

Checking out the @catalinbread varioboost today!
This is such a useful pedal. If you need to cut or boost some frequency’s before your amp and absolutely pummel the input this is the pedal for you
Shout out to friggin @thisheavyeartheffects for sending this over for me to try out
Catalinbread already nailed the high-gain Marshall-in-a-box thing, but the Clean Little Secret takes that classic low-gain BB-style foundation and tightens it up in all the right ways. everything’s been beefed up, from the tone stack to the output stage, so you get just the right amount of push without losing clarity. the overhauled EQ gives you separate treble and bass controls instead of a one-size-fits-all tone knob, which is a huge win for dialing things in. they’ve also added a bit more muscle on tap, so unity volume sits higher and feels more usable. it stays super clean and articulate thanks to the op-amp choice, but when you lean into the gain, it opens up into that really satisfying edge-of-breakup zone. otherwise, it’s a killer always-on enhancer that just makes everything feel better under your fingers.

This one’s got a really cool kind of weird to it.
The @catalinbread CB Paint Reverb pulls inspiration from the old Alesis Microverb and turns it into something that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly usable. From short ambient textures to gated and reverse-style sounds, there’s a lot in here for players who want a reverb pedal with a little more personality.
If you like your reverb a little less normal, this one is worth checking out.

One singular thread winds within all human beings: the arts. Art and music are the world’s great unifiers; they exist in all pockets of the Earth and are among the most appreciable facets of culture that humankind has to offer. The visual arts in particular are important statement pieces; while created by humans, the work speaks for itself, engineered by a creator and presented with minimal comment. We’ve taken this inspiration to our own little slice of the arts and wrapped some of our most beloved reverb circuits in big, bold colors and linework, reminiscent of the German Bauhaus school’s early-1900s aesthetics. We’re stoked on how these finishes turned out and are excited to share them with you.
