    My Steel String Singer from Amplified Nation is hands-down the best amplifier I've ever played. It will easily shake the room and still retain it's clarity and articulation. It has great depth of character and almost produces a 'high definition' level to your sound. Obviously, I couldn't be happier - great job Taylor!

    I have a 100w overdrive reverb from amp nation. Custom ordered new in 2022. It is a good sounding amp but I find that it doesn’t take certain gain pedals as well as my Victory v140. That said I love plugging straight in to this amp. I had 2 issues with my amp that Taylor graciously fixed. My only complaint was I requested a silver amp chassis but it ultimately came with the black powder-coated chassis. It is currently with my amp tech getting fresh tubes & getting the grill cloth changed to Vox style brown diamond on head & cab. I cant wait to get it back. I really want to get a SSS &/or the ampliphonix & gain for a wet/dry/wet set up. Also really want a Germino marshall style head

    Amps sound great, though I'd still have analysis paralysis in choosing! However at my talent level, I couldn't do the amps justice. How great it would be just to plug straight in with nothing else in the signal path!!! One question though, when you talk home or bedroom levels, what kind of decibels are we talking exactly where you can get that great tone?
    @RJRonquillo playing....just WOW....nuff said!!!

    I Love all these amps.. but this guitar player really doesn’t know how to showcase them. He’s the guitar player amplified nation uses for their website too. I dunno what it is.. he’s a good player. He just misses the mark completely in showing us what these amps are capable of... If I had only ever watched this guitar players amp demos I NEVER would have been convinced. Look up other players messing with them to get a better idea of what they can sound like.

    Here we have Kramer who appropriated the work of a genius, took the look, the model names and the circuits and somehow made them all sound like cheap pc board solid state pedals. Such a dishonor to Dumble's legacy. Not even RJ could save them. How is this happening.... Just shameful.

      @@stevesmith3033 Legacy - long lasting impacts from actions or events. So Dumble's legacy should die with him? I think paying homage to someone is good and there's no better tribute to their legacy. These are out of my price range. But priced accordingly I guess for custom hand built 'Dumble style' amplifiers. Especially compared to the real deal, which just isn't attainable for laymen like me and many others.
