Designed to be used with the Dirty Shirley head this cool looking 1×12″ extension cabinet delivers the incredible vintage clean and crunch tones that the Dirty Shirley wants to put out.

Celestion Creamback

This is one of the ultimate vintage styles speakers available today. While other speakers throughout the years have lost their vintage vibes to suit more modern rock and metal vibes the Creamback has always remained smooth and round yet powerful tone. That is why it has been used by everyone from Hendrix and Clapton to Jeff Beck who solidified aggressive blues-rock tones back in the 60’s and 70’s.

Solid Build

Made in the USA from Baltic Birch this cabinet perfectly matches the look and feel of the head meaning that it not only looks great on stage but that it can stand up to the same punishment on the road. That is not the only benefit of using Baltic Burch however as it also effects the tone and keeps the low end tight but punchy for a 1×12 and allows for you to get that signature blues bite.

Here’s what Friedman says about the Dirty Shirley Cab

The Friedman Dirty Shirley 1×12 Cabinet is a 1×12″, open-back extension cabinet. It utilizes tongue and groove Baltic Birch construction to deliver the bass, mid response and great sound you would expect from a Friedman cab.

At the heart of the cab is a Celestion G12M-65 Creamback 16 Ohm speaker. The G12M Creamback is the definitive vintage Celestion ceramic magnet guitar speaker. When the G12M was developed in the mid-sixties, players like Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page, who typified the louder and more aggressive blues rock-playing styles that came to characterize that era, quickly adopted it.

The G12M-65 Creamback used in the Dirty Shirley cab produces the familiar woody G12M tone, but handles greater power. This makes it ideally suited for yesterday and today’s amps, when a vintage and modern tone is desired. The increased power handling brings with it low end grunt complementing the warm and vocal mid range, crunchy upper-mids and sweet, refined highs.

As with all Friedman cabinets, oversized 12-gauge speaker wire is soldered between the speaker and terminal, assuring you capture every ounce of valuable tone. The Dirty Shirley 1x12EXT is handcrafted with pride in the USA and designed to withstand the rigors of the road.

1×12

A 1×12 (pronounced “one by twelve”) refers to a guitar or bass amplifier cabinet that contains one 12-inch speaker. It’s a common size for both combo amps and speaker cabinets, offering a balance between portability and full-bodied sound. A 1×12 setup is often favoured for its warm tone, focused projection, and manageable size—ideal for small gigs, studio sessions, or home use.

cab

A cab—short for cabinet—is the speaker enclosure that projects your guitar amp’s sound to the room. Cabs come in various sizes and speaker configurations, like 1×12, 2×12, or the classic 4×12 setup popular in rock and metal. The type of wood, construction (open or closed back), and speaker choice all influence the tone, response, and volume. Matching the right cab with your amp head is key to shaping your overall sound, whether you want tight, punchy lows, smooth mids, or bright, cutting highs. It’s where your amp’s power turns into the rich, full sound you hear on stage or in the studio.

Celestion

Celestion is one of the most famous and respected brands of guitar speakers in the world. Known for their rich, dynamic tone and legendary presence in rock, blues, and metal, Celestion speakers have been a staple in guitar amplifiers since the 1950s. Models like the Celestion Greenback, Vintage 30, and Blue are renowned for their distinct character—whether it’s warm mids, punchy lows, or sparkling highs. Many iconic amp sounds, from classic British rock to modern metal, owe their signature tone to Celestion speakers, making them a go-to choice for players and builders alike.

Guitar Amps

Guitar amps are essential for shaping and amplifying your sound, whether you’re playing electric, acoustic, or bass guitar. They come in various types—valve (tube), solid-state, and digital modelling—each offering different tonal characteristics and features. From compact practice amps to powerful stage-ready combos and heads with matching cabs, this category covers all your amplification needs. We stock a wide range from trusted brands, offering everything from clean tones to all-out distortion, perfect for home practice, recording, or live performance.
