Friedman Dirty Shirley DS-40: The Essence of Classic Rock

The Friedman Dirty Shirley DS-40 is a 40-watt, single-channel tube amplifier that captures the essence of classic British rock tones, but with a modern edge. This amp is designed for guitarists looking for that coveted rich crunch and dynamic response of vintage plexi-style amps, but in a reliable, easy-to-use package.

The Dirty Shirley DS-40 gives you an unprecedented dynamic range. Play softly and you’ll enjoy bright, responsive clean tones. Pluck harder and a world of warm, organic overdrive opens up that’s perfect for blues, classic rock, and hard rock. The amp responds phenomenally to your playing dynamics and guitar volume, giving you fingertip control over the intensity of your sound.

Despite its powerful tone, the DS-40 is surprisingly versatile. The 'Gain' and 'Master Volume' knobs control the level of saturation and the overall volume. The 'Bass', 'Middle' and 'Treble' controls are very responsive and allow you to fine-tune the sound. In addition, the DS-40 has a 'Fat' switch to add extra body, and a 'Bright' switch to create sparkle without making the sound harsh.

Built with the highest quality components and craftsmanship, the Friedman Dirty Shirley DS-40 not only delivers superior tone, but also the reliability that professional musicians demand. It is the perfect amplifier for studio, stage, and rehearsal spaces.
