edt 13/29

Overview

When asked: My (Evan D. Taubenfeld speaking) younger brother is graduating from college (Berklee) and i want to get him a 1x12 combo from your line of stuff. I'm thinking your SJT 10/20 but he is a jazz/blues with an edge type of player and i think he may need a little more clean headroom and then maybe the potential of getting more aggressive at lower levels as well. Can you make him something more like in the 30 watt range that can go to a half power mode more like a late fifties tweed like amp for smaller duties?

WHY NOT?! We start with the basic SJT 10/20 format and first change the entire back end of the amplifier, both the circuit and the output iron and choke to accommodate using a pair of KT 66s, and KT 66s specifically because they produce a really nice American amp style of clean with more of a glassy/shimmery type of high end and when driven a more creamier, content rich type of overdrive not able to be produced by a standard 6L6GC type of tube. Next make a power transformer, that when tube rectified, produces the precise amount of B+ voltage to achieve 30 watt approximately with a pair of KT 66's in a Class AB1 mode and in a Class A mode take the current draw necessary to support that mode as well. We keep the reverb and dampening switch and the speaker of choice is a Celestion Vintage 30 chosen for both the sound it produces and it's power handling capabilities.

What you get at the end of the rainbow is one of Divided by 13 most versitile amplifiers to date. With almost unlimited capabilities it captures a perfect merger of classic American and British cleans to overdriven tones and voicings and all in a relatively small and portable 30 watt 1x12 combo again inspired by a player (thanks Evan) that is asking us to take him where he wants to go.

Players

"Fredric is extremely knowledgeable from years inside countless amplifiers. This extensive experience along with his openness, inquisitive nature, quest for perfection and hard work has rewarded him, and all us seekers of great tone, with this absolutely stellar line of amplifiers."

Lyle Workman
Beck, Writer, Sessions, Film Scores, Producer

"We had a whole array of vintage gear available to us in the studio, but we wound up coming back to Divided by 13 amps over and over again. Their dynamic response is amazing, and they seem to capture all the vibe of the old classics."

James Valentine
Maroon 5

"Amp is simply amazing. I just worked with Bob Rock again, and I can't tell you how great it is to show up with my /13 and know it's going to work no matter what sound I need to get. I don't know what you're doing inside these magic boxes, but you're doing it right. I've gotten rid of all my other amps. Thanks for what you're doing, and who you are."

"Knocked out�hardly use anything else anymore. The Switchazel is permanently installed."

Joel Shearer
Alanis Morissette, Ben Taylor, Pedestrian, Writer, Sessions

"Every time I do a session, I'll have all my favorites lined up (Plexis, AC30s, Hiwatts, Tweed Twins, Parks, Tweed Ranger, etc). And it seems like no matter what, the /13 wins. Man, it almost always sounds better in the track. Not exaggerating, it's the single greatest amp I have ever owned."

Richard Fortus
Guns 'n' Roses, Writer, Sessions

"Did the whole tour with Alanis, and discovered that with the different sounds available with both channels and the switchazel, I could always get THE sound per venue�wow, dude!"

Jason Orme
Alanis Morissette

"The 9/15 blows me away. The construction, the complexity of the harmonics, the ability to basically paint great tones, the fact it loves every guitar I've put into it. It's so beautifully sensitive and focused that I finally really feel like I'm playing it as much as I'm playing my guitar. Simply put, it's superb. It's a piece of art and I'll be treasuring this for a long time to come."

Victor Krummenacher
Camper Van Beethoven, Monks of Doom

"Amazing! It's difficult to describe how incredible the RSA 23 sounds. Imagine the best sounding Marshall you've ever heard, add in more versatility with a second channel that gives you the type of high gain sounds you always dreamed of, and all at a volume that won't make the sound engineer and the rest of the band hate you. It's nice to know I can stop buying amps now. Thank you, Fred."

Julian Zimmon

"I was on a search for the perfect bass amp for my sessions in LA. I ended up discovering /13 just as the TBL 200 was being introduced. It was just what I was looking for. A bass amp with bite, punch and killer low end. Perfect for all my sessions: rock to pop to RnB. Every engineer loves how easy it is to record. And Fred introduced me to the glory of using 12" speakers. I've never sounded better. Thanks, Fred!"

Sean Hurley
Sessions, Vertical Horizon

"I don't have anything that does what this does. Both your amps live with me and Michelle (Branch)...sound so f'in good...amazing."

John Shanks
Producer, Guitar Player

"I'm really diggin' your amp. I'm getting almost Voxy tones in the studio. It's really lightening my load. I'm using it with the Switchazel in my live rig with Michelle and Lisa, and I won't leave home without it!"
