Why we stock it

Ivory Bronco with a black V across the front, head and matching 2x12. Divided by 13 build in California, point to point, by hand.

The BW 1969 is Butch Walker's signature amp and its whole idea is two independent power sections in one chassis. A cathode-biased pair of EL84s makes 16 watts on its own, a fixed-bias pair of 6L6s makes 39 on its own, and run together they make 55. They are not a channel switch. You choose which power section is doing the work, and the two sound like different amps: the EL84 side quick and harmonically busy, the 6L6 side firmer underneath with more control. Together you keep the EL84 detail and gain the low end.

The front end is a six-position input gain selector rather than a gain knob, so each position reshapes how the amp responds instead of just adding more. Treble has a push-pull bright switch. The effects loop is fully tube-buffered with defeat and bright options.

The cab is Divided by 13's 2x12F, loaded with their 454 speaker, a UK-made 40-watt Celestion Greenback.
