Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive 100W Combo
Amplified Nation · amplifier
The Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive 100W Combo is the high-powered combo version of the builder's most popular model, combining beautiful cleans with a singing, harmonically rich overdrive channel. At 100 watts it has substantially more clean headroom than the 50-watt version, staying articulate and punchy at volumes where smaller amps begin to compress, which makes it suited to larger stages and to players who want the clean channel to remain completely uncoloured. The overdrive channel keeps the vocal, sustaining lead voice the model is known for. In combo form it is a single-piece amp, though a powerful one. It suits blues, fusion and rock players who need genuine stage headroom alongside a D-style lead channel.
