FRIEDMAN DIRTY SHIRLEY MINI 20W
1 year old - mint condition.
Yes, it's the model with the 3 stage gain switch.
Undoubtedly, the 'best in class' and best 'Marshall' sound, but more importantly it's incredibly usable in the real world and very controllable at home.
At the same time it can be very loud and easily enough in a big hall or club and has a much higher than expected clean headroom on the lowest gain stage. I have played it through 2 x 12 and it sounds huge.
It's a very warm, thick sound (more than expected and I.M.O. at its very best with a Strat or Tele or Gretsch when it's just perfect for fattening the tone and blunting the 'ice-pick' but it screams if you use a treble booster with Humbuckers - old school style.

That Doug R demo is great; talent and whimsy in equal measure.
