The BW 1969 was designed around a simple but uncommon idea: two complete power sections, each with its own voice, built to run independently or together. Developed in close collaboration with @butchwalker, the BW 1969 reflects a working musician’s reality.
We’re excited to get it into players’ hands and into real use.
Every amplifier is handbuilt and point-to-point wired in our California factory, using traditional construction methods and carefully selected components. There are no shortcuts, no automation, and no unnecessary complexity. Each amplifier is built one at a time with intent.

NEW: Divided by Thirteen x Celestion 454 Speaker
The 454 is a proprietary 12-inch, 40-watt guitar speaker built by Celestion in their UK factory.
It retains the familiar midrange response, natural compression, and musical breakup associated with a classic Greenback, while offering increased power handling for broader use across Divided by Thirteen amplifiers and cabinet configurations.
Familiar under the fingers. Stable when pushed.

Divided by Thirteen BW 1969 is a handbuilt, point-to-point wired guitar amplifier designed in collaboration with Butch Walker and built in Divided by Thirteen’s California factory.
It features two independent tube power sections that can be run individually or combined, delivering 17 watts from an EL84 cathode-biased section, 40 watts from a 6L6 fixed-bias section, or a combined output of 57 watts when both are engaged.
A six-position input gain selector provides intentional front-end voicing changes rather than simple gain increases, while a treble control with push-pull Bright switch and a fully tube-buffered effects loop with defeat and Bright option offer practical flexibility without complicating the signal path.

Very fun collaboration we did with @powerselectricguitars. Andy and the Powers team are just the best. #dividedby13 #powerselectric #dividedbythirteen #handbuiltamps
When the slide meets the JRT 9/15, sparks fly. @waltdruce killing it as usual.

Two EL34s. 39 watts. A master volume that keeps the punch intact even at lower levels. The AMW 39 balances shimmering cleans with focused gain that doesn’t lose its shape.

The CJ11 already speaks volumes with its tweed-inspired chime and grit. In the hands of @guthrietrapp, those 11 watts turn into a full conversation.

The AMW 39 pulls from the best of the UK lineage, then adds that Divided by 13 attitude.
