Amplified Nation, a boutique amplifier manufacturer based in Boston, Massachusetts, is revolutionizing the world of guitar amplifiers by offering the magical sound of the highly coveted Dumble amplifiers at a more accessible price. These amps, built by master builder Taylor Cox, are designed and handmade to replicate the renowned D-Style amplifiers.
One of the standout products in the Amplified Nation range is the 100 watt ‘Dirty Wonderland’ Head. This single-channel amplifier delivers the glorious tones of a D-style amp, powered by 6L6 tubes. With an uncompressed and open sound, the Dirty Wonderland allows players to fully utilize their picking dynamics. Equipped with a three-band EQ and additional bright, mid, and deep switches, users can fine-tune their tone for any situation.
What sets the Dirty Wonderland apart is its versatility. It features preamp gain control and a transparent master volume, allowing players to achieve saturated tones at any volume. The amp also has two dirty switches that offer different levels of breakup and distortion, making it one of the most versatile D-Style amps on the market.
In addition to its tonal qualities, the Dirty Wonderland is a great pedal platform with an enormous amount of headroom. It also includes a tube-powered reverb circuit, providing a sense of space within the sound. With a “half power” mode option, this amp is suitable for various settings, from stage performances to bedroom practice sessions.
To complement the Dirty Wonderland head, Amplified Nation offers the 2×12 Creamback Cabinet. This cabinet, finished in matching Maroon Suede, features Celestion’s G12M Greenback speakers which deliver a deep, rich tone and increased power handling. The combination of the Dirty Wonderland head and Creamback Cabinet creates a tonal heaven.
Amplified Nation doesn’t stop at the Dirty Wonderland. They also offer other Dumble-inspired amplifiers, such as the Bombshell Overdrive and the Trem-Drive Deluxe. These amps replicate the iconic Dumble combos that were favored by renowned guitarists. The Bombshell Overdrive provides harmonically rich clean sounds and smooth drive tones, while the Trem-Drive Deluxe offers versatility with multiple voicing options and built-in reverb and tremolo circuits.
Amplified Nation has successfully captured the essence of the highly sought after Dumble amplifiers. With their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail, they have made these remarkable circuits accessible to guitar players worldwide. From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Eric Johnson, some of the greatest guitarists have praised the Dumble sound, and now players can own a piece of that magic themselves.
