Developed in close collaboration with Butch Walker, the BW 1969 reflects a working musician’s reality. It moves easily between sounds without losing its identity. An amplifier that responds to decisions and translates them directly to the speaker and the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the BW 1969 features two independent tube power supplies, each fully realized and intentionally different. A pair of EL84s running cathode bias delivers speed, harmonic complexity, and immediacy at 16 watts, while a pair of 6L6s in fixed bias adds authority, control, and low-end stability at 39 watts. Each power section can be used on its own or combined, delivering a total output of 55 watts when run together. When blended, the amp retains the harmonic detail and responsiveness of the EL84s while gaining the weight and firmness of the 6L6 power section. The result is not compromise. It is interaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA six-position input gain selector reshapes the front end of the amplifier, changing feel and response rather than simply adding gain. Each position is deliberate, moving from raw, edge-of-breakup tones to thicker drive with strong string separation and harmonic depth. The Treble control includes a push-pull Bright switch, offering additional lift without overcomplicating the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BW 1969 includes a fully tube-buffered effects loop, designed to integrate time-based effects while preserving immediacy and feel. A push-pull defeat and Bright option allow the loop to be tailored or removed entirely from the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery amplifier is handbuilt and point-to-point wired in Divided by 13's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButch Walker’s work spans genres, roles, and decades, but it has always been rooted in commitment to the song. The BW 1969 was built to support that approach, an amplifier capable of moving between worlds without losing its identity. This is a signature built around how the amp is meant to be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"amp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"amp-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"specs-heading\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"configurations ns\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003eWattage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e16W \/ 39W \/ 55W\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003eClass\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003eA\/AB\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003ePower\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e2 x EL84 \/ 2 x 6L6\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003ePreamp\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003e12AX7\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003eDual independent tube power sections\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"label\"\u003eVoice\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"value\"\u003eAmerican \/ UK\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specs-lower\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"addt-specs\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"specs-heading\"\u003eAdditional Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual independent tube power sections, designed to run individually or combined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × EL84 cathode-biased power section delivering 18 watts of immediacy and harmonic detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 × 6L6 fixed-bias power section delivering 45 watts of authority and low-end control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombined output of 55 watts when both power sections are engaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix-position input gain selector for intentional front-end voicing and response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreble control with push-pull Bright switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully tube-buffered effects loop with push-pull defeat and bright option\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"finishes\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"amp-gallery\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-header light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"border-header-inner flex\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Area 22 Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67616142360629,"sku":null,"price":3899.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2606\/3925\/files\/Dvd13Head_01.png?v=1791211679","url":"https:\/\/area22guitars.com\/products\/divided-by-13-bw1969-head-ivory-bronco-black-v","provider":"Area 22 Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
