DIRT ROAD SPECIAL
Solid State Amplifier
Congratulations on your purchase of the Electro-Harmonix DIRT ROAD SPECIAL.
The EHX DIRT ROAD SPECIAL is a reissue of our vintage 1970s amp with
modern enhancements to both the electronics and mechanical design. We’ve also
added four reverbs from our Holy Grail Max reverb pedal: spring, plate, hall, and
reverse.
The DIRT ROAD SPECIAL offers the advantages of a solid state design – lighter
weight, smaller size and improved portability – but its classic circuitry delivers a
natural crunch and overdrive with beautiful grit and grind. And, with 40 watts
and one 12 inch speaker, you have the perfect amp for any occasion.
