Get your Divided by 13 FTR 37 Head from Humbucker Music, a premium dealer with a huge selection of Divided by 13 Amplifiers for sale.

Crafted in partnership with Butch Walker, the Divided By 13 BW 1969 Head embodies a distinctive dual-power philosophy. Two independent tube circuits - an 18-watt EL84 section delivering articulate harmonic complexity and a 45-watt 6L6 section providing authoritative low-end presence - operate autonomously or in concert for 63 watts combined output.

Each power amp is fully realized with its own character: the EL84s offer immediacy and responsiveness, while the 6L6s contribute control and weight. Whether deployed separately or blended, this amplifier translates your playing decisions with precision, maintaining harmonic detail while gaining sonic depth. Built for the working musician who demands versatility without compromise, the BW 1969 moves fluidly between tonal territories while preserving its core identity.

The BW 1969's six-position input gain selector sculpts tone and responsiveness across a spectrum from pristine edge-of-breakup clarity to rich, articulate drive with pronounced harmonic separation. A Treble control with push-pull Bright switch provides tonal shaping without unnecessary complexity. The fully tube-buffered effects loop integrates time-based processors while maintaining the amp's inherent feel, with switchable bypass and Bright options for circuit customization.

Paired with a Divided by Thirteen 2×12F cabinet featuring the new 454 speaker, a 40-watt Celestion Greenback manufactured in the UK, the system delivers the midrange musicality and natural breakup characteristic of classic designs. The 454's compression and headroom complement the dual power architecture, preserving clarity and definition while enhancing the amp's dynamic responsiveness.

All hand built in Divided by Thirteen's California workshop using point-to-point wiring and premium components, the BW 1969 eschews automation in favor of meticulous craftsmanship. Each amplifier is constructed individually with deliberate attention to detail and sonic integrity.

Developed alongside Butch Walker, whose career spans genres and decades while remaining anchored in musical authenticity, this signature model reflects a working artist's practical demands. The BW 1969 navigates stylistic boundaries fluidly, maintaining tonal coherence across diverse musical contexts. This is an amplifier designed not around marketing concepts, but around how a professional musician actually plays: with versatility, intention, and unwavering commitment to serving the song.
