Friedman has become a household name in the world of mid- to high-gain amplification. Their amp designs have built thoughtfully on what Marshall started in the ’60s, incorporating modern features to meet the needs of today’s players. The Gain Structure switch, located next to the input, offers an impressive range of versatility across its three settings, covering everything from heavy metal to country. This head and cab combo is in superb condition, with minimal signs of wear, and looks practically new.
Here’s what Friedman has to say about the Shirley Mini:
"Dave Friedman’s Dirty Shirley was designed for guitarists that want a Vintage Classic Rock tone inspired by British tube amps from the 60’s and 70’s.I t 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 20-watt, EL84 powered, single channel amp that will give you that vintage crunch and also clean 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.
This handcrafted in the USA head utilizes tongue and groove Baltic Birch construction.The Dirty Shirley was designed to take pedal and loves boosts, OD’s, 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!"
