Similarity
citedBlended 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.

Description

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 PRS DG Custom 30 is David Grissom's signature 30-watt head, built to bring the tone of a player known for highly responsive, dynamic amplification rather than high gain. Grissom's style centres on touch sensitivity and the ability to move between clean and driven sounds using the guitar volume, and the PRS signature amps were designed around that requirement. At 30 watts it sits between the compact MT 15 and the 100-watt HDRX in the PRS range, with enough headroom for stage use while still reaching its own breakup. It suits blues, roots and classic rock players who play dynamically.
