Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.38% — somewhat different

The Divided By 13 FTR 37 is a 37-watt all-tube amplifier from Divided By 13, combining Fred Taccone tremolo and reverb character at a stage-capable wattage. FTR denotes the Fred voicing alongside integrated Tremolo and Reverb. Hand-wired point-to-point construction at 37 watts provides genuine stage volume while retaining the touch sensitivity and harmonic complexity the Divided By 13 brand is known for. Suited to players who need boutique D13 feel in a live-capable format without microphone assistance.
The Milkman Sound Creamer is a 20-watt combo that puts out around 20 watts into 8 ohms with 6V6 output tubes and a sweet breakup character. Its distinguishing feature is a rear-panel switch that allows a pair of 6L6 tubes to be fitted instead, which gives more low end, subtler midrange and a touch more headroom, so the same amp can be reconfigured between two output voices. Like most of the Milkman range it carries the company's reverb and tremolo circuits. Milkman build by hand in San Francisco. It suits blues, roots and indie players who want a mid-powered American-voiced combo with genuine breakup and the option to change its character with tubes.
