Product Description
- Classic Dirty Shirley character in a modular format This module draws directly from the Dirty Shirley&rsquo
- s blend of British inspired crunch and articulate higher gain. Touch responsive breakup smooth clean up with lighter pick attack and enough punch for heavier parts all sit within easy reach. One channel carries more gain than the other giving two usable stages for rhythm and lead. The dynamic quality of the circuit supports expressive phrasing and suits players who prefer amps that respond clearly to changes in picking intensity. Two channels built for practical gain staging Each channel features independent gain and volume controls plus a dedicated bright switch. This structure supports quick shifts between gritty rhythm tones and more saturated lead voices. Bright switches help add definition for darker guitars or tame excess top end in brighter setups. A shared three band EQ shapes the overall voice so both channels feel connected in character. It mirrors the workflow of traditional amps while providing the convenience of a modular approach. Cathode select switch for tailored response The three position cathode select switch adjusts bass response and overall feel by matching common resistor and capacitor combinations found in respected amp designs. Position two reflects Dave Friedman&rsquo
- s preferred setting with a 2.7K resistor and .68uf capacitor for a lively yet controlled low end. Position one aligns with a different flavour often heard in USA voiced circuits while position three shares characteristics with designs like the Soldano SLO. Small adjustments here can shift how the module reacts to pick attack and chord definition making it easier to refine the desired response. A simple path into vintage inspired drive This module suits musicians drawn to late 60s and early 70s rock tones with added harmonic richness. It offers a clear route into the Dirty Shirley family without requiring the full amplifier. Paired with other Synergy modules it forms part of a flexible multi voice setup or it can act as the core sound for players focused on classic driven tones. Straightforward controls and dynamic feel make it a practical choice for rigs that rely on responsive gain structures and familiar valve behaviour.
