Amplified Nation Overdrive Reverb 1x12 Combo
Amplified Nation · amplifier
The Amplified Nation Overdrive Reverb 1x12 Combo is the single-twelve combo version of the builder's Overdrive Reverb, an amplifier whose clean voice is founded in the bigger Fender models of the 1960s but with more articulation and immediacy than the originals. Its reverb circuit is the standout, going beyond the Fender archetype in scope, depth and dimensionality, and it is paired with the smooth D-style overdrive the model is named for. In combo form it is a practical one-piece amp for studio and club work, giving both a large American clean platform and a singing lead channel. It suits blues, soul, country and fusion players who want vintage-flavoured American cleans with a deep, lush reverb and boutique overdrive from a single cabinet.
What stands out
“Works well as a pedal platform because the clean channel stays uncoloured, and equally as a standalone amp using the overdrive side for leads”
