...I love you. :)

What a fantastic sounding model. If you haven't tried it I think that you should stop what you are doing and treat yourself. I hadn't even noticed it before and decided to give it a whirl now that things have started to settle down a bit on the old home front. From what I understand it's a bit of a modded JTM45 which is also one of my favorites.
 
I hate to admit not having used any of the newest models yet. I've been working on past ones and trying to develop a convincing Super Reverb. I think I will take a break from my labors and give them all a go!
 
I'll have to give it another go,wasn't impressed when I first tried it ,thought I'd love it cause I love the HBE.What speakers you using with it?

Pretty sure that I'm using one of my custom mixed cabs. I'll have to check later tonight after work.

Maybe the Sure Weasel will reward you with Super clean tones.
 
Try a the Ownhammer H75 or a H75/M75 combination. No mic or SM58 / R121.
Exactly these two IRs i combined yesterday night with the BE using my ES335 ... oh man! Kickass rock sound! will give the Shirley (as based on/modded JTM45) these Cabs with the Strat ...hmmm yummy :)

I use it with the same IR's as my HBE which I believe was a G12 and JM Fairfield mix that Scott had originally posted about.
It sounds great with the Shirley as well. Actually I have one preset with those IR's and the Shirley and HBE as the XY amps

Works great
 
Similar setup for me as well only I've been tweaking the BE and a drive or boost in front. I've been wearing Shirely out since 7.0. I can't stop! I used a YouTube review of a real DS by Lance Keltner as a reference. As the matter of fact I think I basically set the knobs how he had it set, added a mono hires cab and called it a day.

Both amps are very versatile IMO.
 
Hadn't had the opportunity to get down n' dirty with Shirley til today. Really really awesome model. I wish I'd got to it sooner. What a range of tones!

I've been using the OH SLM H75 cab with a low cut around 60hz and a hi cut at about 8khz for playback thru my monitors. I'll be smashing it thru the Matrix into a 4x12 tomorrow, looking forward to that! Not really sure how Shirley'll fare thru my cab, a H&K Coreblade, oversized with Classic Lead 80's but finding out is gonna be a ton of fun!

While not knocking the HBE off the top spot for me, it's definitely tied it I think.
