Amplified Nation Bombshell Overdrive 50W 1x12 Combo
Amplified Nation · amplifier
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.
