The Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive does it all ? its two cascading channels deliver shimmering cleans, throaty high-gain, and everything in between. This 50-watt tube amp head's clean channel is reminiscent of a vintage American-style amplifier, while its drive channel serves up smooth, harmonic-rich dirt with all the growl you can handle. The Wonderland Overdrive includes a 3-band EQ for shaping your sound, plus Bright, Mid, and Deep switches for further customization. You get a tube-powered spring reverb and an effects loop for spicing up your sound, along with a half-power attenuator. You also get a 2-button footswitch for hands-free channel switching and access to the amplifier's built-in preamp boost. The Wonderland Overdrive was handwired with high-end components, including Orange Drop capacitors, F&T electrolytic filters, Dale and Koa resistors, and Hammond and Heyboer transformers, all packed into a rugged powder coated aluminum chassis. According to Amplified Nation, the Wonderland Overdrive stands in a class of its own ? who are we to argue?

One Amplified Nation under handwired boutique brilliance





There are few better ways to master the art of amplifier design than by studying the world's most esteemed and coveted vintage amplifiers. Taylor Cox took this notion to heart in founding Amplified Nation in 2009 as a humble amp repair shop in Boston. After countless hours fixing amplifiers, designing effects, and crafting custom guitar cabinets, Taylor's extensive experience and endless fascination with the amps of a near-mythological defunct Californian designer eventually led to Amplified Nation venturing into the realm of tube amplifier design. A single strum through one of Taylor's handwired amps is all the proof you need of his absolute mastery of that elusive, ever-sought-after tone. Merging the blooming harmonics and dripping overtones of his vintage inspiration with premium-grade components and the highest level of craftsmanship, Amplified Nation represents the epitome of amplifier excellence.
