"Both Marshalls run THD Hot Plate attenuators, which allows Brad to turn the amps up to get the warmer power tube saturation, while also maintaining a good comfortable listening level."

Brad Whitford used the Divided by 13 FTR 37 as part of his onstage amp rig with Aerosmith from 2003 through 2007. This amp, recognizable by its unique orange color and the 1960s Corvette logo installed by Brad on many of his amps, was prominently featured during their performances at the 2004 Super Bowl Pre-game show and in Oakland in 2006. Additionally, Brad hand-signed the front panel of the speaker cabinet. The proof for this is provided by a listing on Reverb, which details the amp's history and includes Brad's autograph on the 2x12 combo.
In an interview with Rick Beato, Brad Whitford mentioned around the 14-minute mark that they had to use Ampeg V-4B amplifiers in the studio because "the Stones were using them."
On the original order sheet from Soldano, Brad bought the 4th amp.
