Dirty Shirley vs BE (Question for Dave)

[Rdodson]

Dave,
The power section in the Dirty Shirley is just incredible. I love the feel of it. To me, and I could be wrong, it feels like a voltage-starved (variaced) 6CA7 setup. I know this is due to a combination of the rectifier and 5881s.

Question...what would a BE100 with 5881s sound like? You get where I'm going with this?

I'm in LOVE with the preamp of the BE100. The BE channel with the EQ straight up, gain on about 6, and the VH (sorry, "VOICE" ) switch engaged and everything else off is such a great sound. However, the power amp is SO tight. If you are looking for a bit more squish...say that 12000 feel...

Thanks,
Ron

It wouldn't give you more squish. It sound good though. Different.

This is a new R9 into a Dirty Shirley combo (Creamback M). Heavenly. Great work!
