Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Very Good

The Divided by 13 RSA 31 is absolutely killer guitar! I love this head - tons of clean headroom, the ability to thicken up and get rich, a mid-range control to round out your sound and fantastic quality control. All the makings of a thoroughbred winner. The second channel is equipped with a 5879 Pentode for more gain available on tap and is really able to get gritty and grindy when you need it to. All of the Divided by 13 stuff that comes through the shop has a tendency to speak to me, but I'm very glad I got to sit down and bond with his head. It's an absolute wonder.

RSA 31

OVERVIEW

Refined and voiced closer to our favorite EL84 30 Watt amplifier from England, the RSA 31 offers a little more pronounced midrange and is a little more aggressive than the ERT 33, but still retains a tight, punchy lower end and has half power potential.

Channel One is laid out with Volume, Treble, "Middle", and Bass controls, giving the player the ability to move around the most important "Middle" of this type of amplifier format. And rounding it off, Channel Two remains the now familiar,gainier"Click" Channel powered by a 5879 Pentode with an adjustable frequency range and volume control.

RSA 31s -- Now available in a smaller, one channel version to go with 2x12D cabinet "Small Club Series", or whichever cabinet you prefer.
