Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Amplified Nation Bombshell Overdrive 100W Head is the builder's interpretation of the Dumble Overdrive Special, built around three preamp tubes and two channels with preamp boost available on both. Four 6L6 output tubes give it the large, dimensional clean platform the D-style circuit is known for, staying articulate and punchy at stage volume, while the overdrive channel produces the singing, sustaining lead voice with strong harmonic content that the original design is prized for. Having boost on both channels rather than only the lead side means the clean channel can be pushed into edge-of-breakup without switching. It is strongly touch sensitive, responding to pick attack and guitar volume, and suits blues, fusion and rock players who want an authentic D-style overdrive with full stage headroom.
The Amplified Nation Bombshell Overdrive 50W 1x12 Combo is the combo version of the builder's Dumble Overdrive Special interpretation, using three preamp tubes and two channels with preamp boost on both. At 50 watts in a single-twelve cabinet it reaches its sweet spot at a far more usable volume than the 100-watt head while keeping the dimensional clean platform and the singing, harmonically rich overdrive channel that define the D-style circuit. The combo format makes it a practical one-piece amp for club stages and studio work. It is highly touch sensitive, cleaning up with the guitar volume and blooming under a harder pick attack, and suits blues, fusion and rock players who want authentic D-style lead tone without carrying a separate head and cabinet.
