Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Amplified Nation Steel String Singer 100W Head is the larger version of the builder's take on the Dumble Steel String Singer, a design built around very high clean headroom. It produces shimmery, silky clean tones and clean-lead sounds with a balanced EQ, staying articulate, punchy and clear at volumes where smaller amps would begin to compress. A three-tube reverb with send and return controls governs both the depth of the reverb and its level in the mix. At 100 watts it is aimed squarely at stage use and at players who want a completely uncoloured platform for pedals. It suits blues, soul and fusion players chasing the Stevie Ray Vaughan style clean power the original Steel String Singer was built to provide.
The Amplified Nation Steel String Singer 50W Head is a hand-built American boutique amplifier modelled on the Dumble Steel String Singer, the high-headroom clean design Dumble built for players such as Stevie Ray Vaughan. It delivers shimmery, silky cleans moving into clean-lead territory, with a balanced EQ and an unusually large amount of clean power that keeps the amp articulate, punchy and clear even at high volume. A three-tube reverb circuit with send and return controls sets both the depth of the effect and how much of it sits in the mix, and it works with clean and lead playing alike. At 50 watts it is the more room-friendly of the two common sizes. It suits blues, soul, funk and fusion players who want headroom and touch response rather than amp distortion.
