Amplified Nation Steel String Singer 50W Head
Amplified Nation · amplifier
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.
