Friedman’s popular Dirty Shirley combo was designed for guitarists that wanted a Vintage Classic Rock tone inspired by British tube amps from the 60’s and 70’s. And what’s better than one Dirty Shirley? TWO DIRTY SHIRLEYS!
In this video, Jack puts this killer new release through its paces!

What I always appreciate about your playing Jack is that everything is so musical. Not just 10 minutes of “look at all the difficult stuff I can play”. That being said, it’s always insanely good!
What a great demo, perfect information, immense playing and showing the diversity and open vintage tones. Great job!!
I like the Andertons guys much, but while their channel is getting kinda comedy-ish, this here is the opposite, serious spot on. From a 20+ gunslinger. 👌
Yeah another level lol like Walmart and Macy's
Beautiful playing Jack and that clean tone with the Strat and the Dualist was just stunning. I really want tone of these
God almighty Jack......every time I watch you play I shake my head in utter amazement.
the amp sounds great, but your playing Jack is always killer. Happy New Year.
That Les Paul and high gain section is "THE" sound! No matter how many times I put my Les Paul through a modeler, or sim, whenever I play through a great overdriven tube amp I'm blown away.
mic the Tube-Amp and than listen to it side by side with a good Amp-Sim, it is the same. Sitting in front of an Amp is something else than sitting in front of your monitors. ;-)
always the best player to showcase all the features of any equipment!! super cool review Jack! Happy New Year!
Great playing as always, Jack. Happy New Year Peach Guitars.
Thanks for the killer playing and nice long clean sections with strat and les paul 👍 very helpful
Absolutely superb demo!!
Phwoar! Ridiculously vicious sounds! amazing playing, as always...
Wow.. the high gain with a les paul sounds so much like a jcm 800. It could probably do thrash great, and then some sweet GnR. And with the strat crunch thats JTM45 hendrix land! Awesome!
Amazing amp.
A Twin Sister with one of the channels being similar to the Jake E Lee highest gain channel (brighter, tighter and more aggressive) would be the perfect Marshall style amp.
Put a solid state rectifier in her it will tighten up the amp and make it more aggressive, less compressed, more like a super lead, yet it still retains that vintage Character, hit the front with a buxom boost with EQ bypassed and tight knob at about 11 o clock and you get a natural super high gain channel, it's like an extension of the amp...... It'll get you all the way to mastodon and black label society levels of gain, super addictive to play too
I know this is a 2 year old video, but I've really gotten interested in the Dirty Shirley though using Dirty Shirley profiles in my Kemper. The Kemper does an amazing job, but I'm wanting to replace a Suhr Bella and a Fender amp with a more versatile tube amp - this fits the bill nicely, really impressed with the tones it gets.
Jack - I've watched/subscribed to Peach guitar's channel for years now and you have become a quite the versatile, skilled and badass guitarist! Much respect from an old rocker from the other side of the pond!
Mesmerizing chord work/melody with the Les Paul on the clean channel. Loved this upload.
Jack is the best UA-cam guitarist and he is still underrated. Is he in a band???
The best demo I’ve seen on this amp. I may have just found my next amp.
Oooof next level playing, that riff on the strat in high gain is epic.
I would LOVE to see a Dr Z EMS in a video with this amp. I am deciding between those two.
I have a DS40 Combo and i really Like it ..
That is a great combo of equipment you are making sing there. Winning!!! :)
Great demo! Thank you!
This is the demo I’ve been looking for.
God dam it never ends, this is exactly what I always wanted in a dirty shirley.
This is the summit of Mount Marshalling LoL Want one so bad but will probably settle for a small box 50 or an original DS which wouldn't break my heart at all OR a Koch Greg How about those two for a stereo rig The Koch has the harmonic trem and OP tube saturation circuit OTS Killer Good stuff Jack Can tell these inspire you Who wouldn't 😍👍😊
@Peach Guitars I would love love love a side by side comparison with the Friedman Smallbox as I'm torn between the 2 amps and can't decide. Jack you make the best demo's where I can really hear what the amps character is. Thanks if you can do that.
They are similar, the Smallbox is stiffer and more precise, while this Twin Sister is a little rounder, warmer and juicier. Similar to the differences between a Marshall 50 watt JMP and a JTM. Both are superb! - Jack
@@PeachGuitars Sweet! Thanks Jack. I'm guessing the smallbox has a little more mids? Or different kind of mids?
@yours truly The Small Box is more Plexi sounding, whereas the Dirty Shirley / Twin Sisters is more JTM 45. Also, the Small Box has a 2nd channel that is based off of the BE circuit, so it will do a higher gain sound. Musically speaking, a Small Box will take you from Classic Rock, to AC/DC to Alice In Chains. Dirty Shirley is more Classic Rock/ Modern Country /Allman Bros, and a little more gain to spare. I hope this made sense.
@@HiHello-ku1fl see above.^
Tone for days! Excellent playing as well!
Brilliant demo. That amp seems like a killer Strat platform. All 3 gain levels were fantastic with and without the OD.
I only watch these vids for this player and the musicality in his playing. Pay him well! He gets subs!
I don't get people complaining at the price...... It is a top of the line American made amp with all top of the line components....... Ppl spend 6 grand on a guitar but 3 grand on amp is crazy? The amp is the most important part of the chain, put it this way, a shit guitar through a great amp will still sound great, a great guitar through a shit amp is gonna sound like crap.....
If you want rediculous, try a 1987x reissue..... Midgrade components, cheap pcb construction (there is super high quality pcb amps with thick traces that are easy to work on) board mounted tube sockets etc. An fx loop that is pretty useless since the power section is gonna distort whatevers in it, at a price if 2500 dollars......that to me is quite high for what you get considering you could get a US made top quality hand wired version for 2500 from guys like germino..... The Friedman stuff is alot of r and d by means of trial and error so the fact that it's not a 50 60 year old Circuit (borrows from yes but is quite different) means it's gonna cost more, but you get customer service Directly from Dave and really user friendly features like a world class master volume and the best fx loop in the game...... Plus he's building and operating a business in freakin California..... In a gear saturated market, I think the price is reasonable all things considered........ I was happy to pay 2699.99 for my Shirley and the twin sister has another full eq bearing channel and additional features for only a couple hundred more? Come on
Agree 200%!!!
Why do fender guitars sound so scratchy and harsh so often? I know it's down to taste, but to me gibsons sound far more pleasant to my ears in this demo vs. the strat. In my opinion!
The demos I’ve seen with the bright switch seem to give it more of a fender sparkle than what I see on the Shirley without the bright switch, but never seen a side by side demo with that switch engaged. How do you think the TS and DS compare with the bright engaged?
Imagine running the two rock and Friedman. TOGETHER
@@djt6546 I’m running a Two Rock Studio Pro and Mini Dirty Shirley V2. Great stuff indeed.
Strat high gain for the win. LP high gain with a very close second place. Everyone needs this amp, so go buy it.
Omg that start through that amp sounded amazon!
I wish my strat wasn't that harsh, may be I'll buy this amp to try to not to ?
Sounds Glorious!!!
Good enough gain for 80's metal say Ozzy, Maiden, Priest, etc. etc.?
Great amps. Wishing for a change in the infantile naming of some of their amps mind.
Friedman maps are awesome!
Maps. Funny
Anyone know what song that is that Jack starts playing at 11:52?? Man that kid has chops!
I'd like to know as well.
They should put this guy on TV
TV?
Does the TSister come with a foot switch?
Curious Q; have a favorite guitar cable?
Yes, it comes with a footswitch for channel switching. 1/4 inch jack below the input jack labeled “sw” is where you plug it in.
I wish Friedman would also modernize their chassis and turn the top plate around. So annoying to have it upside down. 90% of the time you have the amp in front you so it makes setting up the channels extremely tedious. I would own a Smallbox 50 combo if not for this design flaw (which it is in my view). Killer amps though obviously.
Is it just me or does the low-end sound tighter than the DS?
The redback speaker should tighten the low end.
Just ordered mine
now that I have it, sounds eff'n amazing
Are you Still enjoying the amp? I'm so closed to pulling the trigger on this
@@daviddorrian5349 it is probably the best amp you will ever own. extremely versatile. I bought mine because Neal Schon used them on the Journey Through Time tour.
kiaora from aotearoa, i heard those tones from here!
I’ll bet that if you keep practicing, you gonna be a pretty good guitar player one of these days.🤠🤠🤠
👍🤣🤣🤣
Have you ever demoed the Mini Dirty Shirley amp from Friedman?
I miss when you all did more of an in-depth review of a product
Don't call me Shirley!
Surely not!
Where to order this KILLER strat!?
Does the amp come with the chops? ;)
What road case are you using?
What's the song at 6.09
Which speakers are in the combo?
Mine came with a 150w redback. I’m an Alnico speaker guy but I really dig the redback!
My honest opinion,its not for me,its voiced to low,not enough highs
Woah 3000 pounds that is is 50yo banker trophy territory only. At least they'll keep their value as they only be turned on maybe 3 times?
It really isn’t. 🤷🏼♂️ I’m not 50 and I’m not a banker and I’m interested in an amp like this and if I buy one it would get played. Maybe leave your prejudices at the door. I find it strange how guitarists seem so keen to call out expensive gear as “just for people who don’t know what they’re doing” or who just want it as a trophy or an investment piece. You really don’t hear the same thing anywhere near as often when I comes to car fans despite the fact that the disparity between “normal” car prices and supercar/hypercar prices is at least as pronounced and for the most part they’re not being bought by racing drivers either. 🤷🏼♂️
@@davidburke2132 The bit you don't get Dave is : Amps like these sonically were made for players but most players can only dream of owning one. The vast majority of these amps will fall into the hands of successful 50 odd yo's, ' I used to be in a cover band when I was in my early 20's at Uni and now I've got money and I want to recapture my youth and show off to my mates! '
@@Neil-Aspinall no, amps like this were and are made as premium top of the line tools. Friedman are a boutique amplifier brand... their whole raison d’etre is to build amps with (virtually) no compromises and make them as good as they possibly can. They’re not a production line brand like Marshall, Fender, Vox or even Mesa.
To afford one you need a decent job for sure, but you don’t need to be some 50 year old banker. What you DO need if you’re not stinking rich is to have a real passion for guitar, and there are people around who do prioritise music and guitar as their main passion and buy gear accordingly.
If you don’t think that this amp is worth £3k then that’s fine... perfectly acceptable opinion and you’re entitled to it. We each make our own decisions on what we value, what is “worth it” and what we buy and use. My objection isn’t to your opinion of whether you like or would buy the amp but your suggestion that these amps are only bought by one type of person, which is utter nonsense.
@@davidburke2132 I like it! I too get sick of the whining!! Every company/retailer offers financing, in most cases 24-36 months. Plenty of options that if you have a decent job you can afford the gear you want for a reasonable monthly payment.
@@aaronperrotta7055 I probably shouldn’t react to comments like that original one but I do find people criticising serious musician’s tools as just for bankers or as some kind of trophy really annoying. If one doesn’t value the lengths companies like Friedman go to or if one can find a sound one loves for much less outlay then why not just be happy rather than trying to spoil high quality and great sounding gear like this for everyone else. Like you I just don’t get it. 🤷🏼♂️
Great demo! Thank you.
