Iconic British Tones - KT88 Power Section - Hand-Built Quality
The Divided By 13 BTR 23 is a 23-watt powerhouse that combines the tonal legacy of three iconic British amp designs into one versatile package.

Featuring treble, mid, and bass controls, as well as a push/pull gain boost, the BTR 23 allows for precise tone shaping and a wide range of overdrive textures. Now hand-built by Two-Rock, this amplifier exemplifies boutique craftsmanship and sonic excellence.
Divided By 13 BTR 23: A British Tone Icon Revitalised by Two-Rock
The Divided By 13 BTR 23 represents the culmination of decades of amplifier design innovation, seamlessly merging iconic British amp tones into a single, versatile unit. With its 23-watt power output driven by a pair of KT88 valves, the BTR 23 captures the essence of three legendary UK amp styles. This model offers a unique voice that embodies the chime and compression of classic combos, the punch and drive of 1960s stack heads, and the immense power and fast response of KT88-driven designs.
At the heart of the BTR 23 lies a meticulously designed preamp section featuring treble, mid, and bass controls, allowing players to fine-tune their sound with precision. A dedicated push/pull mid and gain boost provides added flexibility, enabling players to dial in anything from tight cleans to rich, saturated overdrive. The master volume control ensures that the amp delivers a full range of tonal textures, from subtle breakup to soaring leads, at any volume level.
The KT88 power section is a standout feature, delivering robust low-end, sparkling highs, and dynamic response. Whether you're looking for the vintage warmth of a valve rectified circuit or the percussive attack of a high-headroom amplifier, the BTR 23 delivers. Its single-channel design ensures simplicity while offering unparalleled tonal depth, making it a perfect choice for live performances, studio recording, or home practice.
