Amplified Nation Bombshell Overdrive – 100W Boutique Overdrive Amp Head

The Altitude Summary

The Amplified Nation Bombshell Overdrive is a powerhouse 2-channel amplifier head built to capture the spirit and sonic firepower of one of the most legendary boutique amps ever made. With 100 watts of handwired, high-gain authority, this US-made tone machine combines a cascading gain stage, a high-plate preamp design, and an ultra-responsive master volume to deliver glorious cleans and thick, harmonic-rich overdrive. Whether you're chasing expressive fusion tones or saturated blues-rock bite, the Bombshell Overdrive delivers exceptional clarity, responsiveness, and tonal nuance.  This amp has been lightly used, has really no signs of wear or damage to the suede - excellent condition!

Legendary Overdrive, Refined and Reimagined

Inspired by one of the rarest and most revered amps in history, the Bombshell Overdrive’s dirty channel is loaded with thick mids, liquid sustain, and explosive harmonic bloom—perfect for channeling tones in the vein of Robben Ford, Larry Carlton, and Eric Clapton. A lush clean channel offers incredible dynamic headroom, and the included footswitch gives you seamless access to both channels and an additional gain boost.

Extensive Tone Shaping

From the 3-band EQ to three dedicated tone switches—Bright, Mid, and Jazz/Rock—the Bombshell Overdrive gives you deep tonal control. The Jazz mode provides a warm, rounded voice, while the Rock setting tightens up the low end and adds edge. A Presence control lets you fine-tune top-end detail, while the footswitchable boost adds searing gain on command.

FET Input and Boutique-Grade Build

In addition to the standard input, the Bombshell features a unique FET input that adds a glassy, high-headroom voice with greater output—ideal for players looking to push the front end harder. With handwired construction, premium components, and rear-mounted bias points for easy maintenance, this amp is built for tone connoisseurs and serious players alike.
