Dirty Shirley DS40
The Friedman DS40 has been modeled after the legendary-sounding vintage stack of
David Friedman’s design. It offers the perfect complement to any engineering session
where one seeks a faithfully emulated 60’s and 70’s rock era guitar sound – quickly
and cleanly in the box and at any volume level.
The Dirty Shirley was heavily inspired by a modified Marshall JTM-45, one of Jim Mar-
shall’s first guitar amps. It perfectly emulates the iconic Jimmy Page sound as heard
on early Led Zeppelin records.
Friedman designed the Dirty Shirley to capture Page’s famous modded-
Marshall tones while serving the requirements of today’s guitarist, without
compromising on the vintage mojo. Like many classic British amps, the Dirty
Shirley is a one-channel amp. Included are separate Gain and Master Volume
controls to allow for better control over crunch and clean sounds.
The Dirty Shirley’s ability to precisely respond to a player’s technique, and a
guitar’s volume knob makes it a must have “in the box” amp sim for any UAD
owner who records electric guitars.
