Divided by 13 JRT 9/15 Head
In some ways the amp thats started it all…..
When HW first borrowed a Kemper from the Sooze it was Mbritt’s profiles this amp that convinced him it that the Kemper was the real. Now years into the #profile the world journey this amp joined the collection and contributed it’s sonic character to the “Divide Jr Kemper Profile Pack”. It’s ability to switch between 6v6 and el84s takes you thru all the power amp saturation shades of a tweed deluxe and an AC15 but this amp is a clone of neither…. it’s ore tweedy than a Vox and more chimer than a tweed. It’s combination of a cleaner/brighter and thicker/dirtier channel make it an incredible tool for getting the right amount of thickness and chime out of any pickups.

Two amps in one?
With an overly stout and painstakingly developed power supply made to accommodate two sets of power tubes, the JRT 9/15 offers the biggest sound in a low wattage amplifier heard to date.
Starting from right to left, the single input of the amplifier (high and low sensitivity) feeds the inputs of two 5879 Pentodes, each with its own volume control and blendable. Each is voiced differently: one is brighter with more clean headroom while the other is gainier and thicker in the low mids. Added to this volume is a 6 position switch which offers a "bright cap" selection. The last knob is a high cut for the overall amplifier. The "Mode" toggle provides a selection of either 9+ Watts with 6V6s, or 15+ Watts with EL84s, offering and exceeding the best tones available in some of our favorite late 50's American 6V6 amplifiers, and our favorite EL84/EL34 English amplifiers. Don't be fooled by its size; this one sounds huge!
