Friedman Dirty Shirley 40 watt Combo

Friedman Dirty Shirley 40 watt Combo

The Friedman Dirty Shirley Combo delivers rich, vintage-inspired tone with 40 watts of all-tube punch through a 12" Celestion Creamback speaker. From sparkling cleans to gritty crunch to full-throttle lead tones, this amp nails the classic British vibe with ease—think Zeppelin, ZZ Top, and early Van Halen. A 3-way gain structure switch lets you tailor the response, while the pair of 5881 power tubes keeps things punchy, responsive, and musical at any volume. Roll back your guitar's volume and it cleans up beautifully—no pedals needed.

Like all Friedman amps, the Dirty Shirley is handwired in the U.S.A. using premium components for exceptional tone, consistency, and durability. Whether you’re gigging, recording, or just chasing that elusive vintage tone, this compact combo is a powerhouse you can trust.

Designed by legendary amp builder Dave Friedman—whose clients include Eddie Van Halen, Jerry Cantrell, and Steve Stevens—the Dirty Shirley brings pro-level tone to your rig with simplicity and style.
