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.
