Amplified Nation · amplifier
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.
