......"but these are 3 louder"

We here at the shop are proud to say that we are now a dealer for the Divided By 13 Amps. There are great things being said and heard about this company. We urge you to plug in to one as soon as you get the opportunity. Here is a little history behind them……….

÷13 TODAY

In response to the demands and desires of four players in Los Angeles, Rusty Anderson, Joel Shearer, Lyle Workman and Nick Lashley, amplifiers from ÷13 underwent construction. Once completed, countless hours were spent in some of the best studios in L.A. listening to every speaker, cabinet, baffle thickness, box material, box size and micing technique before arriving at the final models and outfits currently being offered from ÷13. Within hours of the completion of this process, models went straight to tracking for Paul McCartney's "Driving Rain" and Alanis Morissette's "Under Rug Swept".

In the beginning it was producers and engineering teams that first responded with enthusiasm in the results they were getting with ÷13 amps. Word got around and orders were soon placed from a number of players, writers, producers, engineers and key music makers throughout L.A.

This exact process still takes place with the conception and development of additional models and outfits soon to be offered from ÷13.

How an amp sits in the track... How it contributes to the magic of the song... How it works in a live situation...

...have always been, and will continue to be, the sole motivation behind creating ÷13 Amplification.

It is important to note that through this whole process, my oldest and closest friend (and probably a better tech than me), Tim Maag, was the guy I ran everything I did across. Countless hours were spent with him discussing many of the pros and cons of the circuits in developing these amps.

Our Forthcoming E-flyer

We are planning to offer an electronic sales flyer! What does this mean? It means that you can receive notices of crazy good specials and sales, which are only available to subscribers…and that could save you big bucks! In the near future, look for an option to “subscribe” on our web page. (Federal Trade Commission regulations require that we also offer you the option of “unsubscribing”, so you won’t receive the e-flyer if you don’t want to.) Please know that we will not automatically add your email address to our list just because you contacted us with a question, price request, etc. You must subscribe.

At the moment this is still a work in progress, but get ready for great deals as they unfold!

It’s really easy. Get to our opening page (www.davesguitar.com) and locate the blue box in the upper right corner, which says, “No interest if paid within 90 days or 6 months”.

Our New DGS Card Program!

WOW! Now this is exciting news! We are partnering with GE Money Bank to offer never before available financing options through the NAMM Music Money Platinum Program. We’ll just call it the DGS Card Program for short. What does it mean?

It means you’ll be able to have your own DGS credit card, for use in the shop, and take advantage of financing promotions! Consider this…your normal credit card comes due every month, doesn’t it? With your new DGS card, you may be able to secure 90 days, even 6 months without interest if paid when due. Or, perhaps that once-in-a-lifetime guitar or amp is more affordable spread out over 48 months with nice low payments? GE offers seasonal promotional specials, too. Excellent programs to take advantage of when considering that killer Strat, bone crushing Martin, or anything else you have to think twice about.

What can your DGS card do for you? Extended financing not available with traditional bank cards. High-end purchases…low monthly payments. Fast “apply and buy today” approval process. NO INTEREST if paid in full when due. NO annual fee. Purchases don’t tie up other credit cards. 24 hours access to account information and online payments. Optional payment protection plan.
