Divided By 13 CJ 11: A Modern Take on an American Classic

The Divided By 13 CJ 11 pays homage to the iconic 1950s Fullerton 1x12 tweed combo, a design that helped shape the quintessential "American" guitar sound. By blending vintage charm with modern enhancements, the CJ 11 delivers a versatile, expressive amplifier capable of capturing the essence of its predecessor while addressing the demands of today's players.

At its heart, the CJ 11 is a single-channel amplifier powered by two 6V6 power valves in a Class A configuration, producing 11 watts of rich, harmonically complex output. Unlike its vintage counterpart, the CJ 11 offers advanced tone-shaping options, including dedicated treble and bass controls. This additional control allows players to tame lower frequencies when pushing the amp into saturation, avoiding muddiness while preserving the thick, low-end character and compression that define classic tweed tones when desired.

A standout feature of the CJ 11 is its push/pull mid/gain boost circuit, which enhances tonal versatility. Whether you're seeking clean, chimey tones, moderate overdrive, or full-on tweed saturation, this feature ensures the amplifier excels in any musical setting. The inclusion of a master volume control allows players to achieve these tones at manageable volumes, making the CJ 11 ideal for home, studio, and small-stage applications.

The CJ 11 also improves upon the original design's output and reliability. Upgraded transformers and a robust 5AR4/GZ34 rectifier provide greater headroom, improved low-end clarity, and a more refined overdrive character. Despite its compact size and modest 11-watt power rating, the CJ 11 punches well above its weight, delivering a dynamic response and loud, articulate performance.

Housed in a lightweight 1x12 cabinet loaded with a Celestion G12H speaker, the CJ 11 is as portable as it is powerful. Its construction reflects Divided By 13's commitment to boutique craftsmanship and attention to detail, a legacy that has been further elevated by Two-Rock's recent acquisition of the brand.

Under the stewardship of Two-Rock, the CJ 11 continues to be hand-built in Northern California, maintaining the high standards and innovation that define both brands. This collaboration between Two-Rock and Divided By 13 ensures the CJ 11 remains a top choice for players seeking authentic American tones with modern flexibility.
