Friedman 40 Watt Dirty Shirley. I purchased this amp brand new from an authorized dealer. I am a collector and loved the way this amp sounded giving you the JTM 45 sounds along with the higher gain modded style tones that Friedman is famous for. I have not played it much, less than 2 hours time. All original including tubes. Working perfectly. See pics, pretty much as new as the day I purchased it. Unmolested, never gigged, kept in my house temp and humidity controlled.

You can get from clean to dirty on this amp, for all styles of guitar. Incredible amp.

From the web:


Dave Friedman's Dirty Shirley 40 Watt Head was designed for guitarists that want a Vintage Classic Rock tone inspired by British tube amps from the '60s and '70s.

It is based on a modified JTM 45 but still delivers the signature high gain tone for which Friedman is best known. The Dirty Shirley is a 40-watt, 5881 powered, single channel amp that will give you that vintage crunch and also cleans up nicely by merely backing off the guitar's volume knob. Extremely versatile, it is capable of producing many styles of music from blues to rock and country by just adjusting the gain and master controls. 

The Dirty Shirley features beautiful black Tolex, tongue and groove Baltic Birch construction and is built to withstand the rigors of the road.

The Dirty Shirley now features a Three position gain structure switch which lowers the overall gain of the amplifier.

The Dirty Shirley was designed to take pedals and loves boosts, ODs, phasers, flangers, tremolos and wahs, while the brand new ultra-transparent series effects loop handles your time-based effects pedals and rack units.

The Dirty Shirley from Friedman Amplification, a real screamer that fits in your backseat!
