Amplified Nation Ampliphonix and Gain
Amplified Nation · amplifier
The Amplified Nation Ampliphonix and Gain is a hand-built American boutique amplifier from the same small-shop range as the builder's Dumble-derived designs, offered in a 50-watt configuration. It sits alongside the Wonderland Overdrive, Bombshell Overdrive, Phoenix Fury and Six String Sustain in the company's lineup, sharing the point-to-point hand-wired construction and boutique component selection that characterise the brand. Amplified Nation amps are generally built around a large, dimensional clean platform with a smooth, singing overdrive voice rather than aggressive high gain, and are aimed at blues, fusion and rock players who want touch-sensitive, dynamic amplification. Detailed independent coverage of this particular model is sparse compared with the rest of the range.
