Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive 50W Skyliner Head & 112 Cab – Golden Brown

Information

Brand New with Warranty. We are an authorized Amplified Nation Dealer.

This Wonderland Overdrive features the ‘80s High Plate Skyliner preamp circuit for tones that cross over into the fabled ODS realm, but with reverb!

What Do We Think?

The High Plate Skyliner circuit adds a wonderful punch and focus to the midrange of the Wonderland Overdrive. It takes off a little bit of sizzle at the very top end and shifts that energy down into your upper mids. There is a nice fat bloom after every note, and yet the amp also features tighter low mids than its standard-voiced sibling. This voicing leans less vintage and more hot-rodded, and we love it!

The three EQ switches can be utilized to further dial in the ride. In their up positions, each brings a bit more firmness to its respective EQ range. The combinations are near-endless. We particularly enjoyed the fact that none of the switches are too extreme in their contributions. They can be used in their up or down positions without having to completely rework the EQ or gain structure of the amp to accomadate!

The preamp boost (“PAB”) is active on both channels, sending the overdrive channel over the top or ratcheting up the sizzle on the clean channel. The boost immediately brings the clean channel into ‘90s country territory with that extra “push”, snap and swagger. This function is footswitchable along with the channel switching, giving you four distinct tonal voices accessible without reaching back to your amp to tweak knobs.

And then there’s the half power switch on the back. One thing we love about this amp is its ability to feel and sound full at living room volumes when necessary. Yes, it can flat out slay when you dime the master. But there’s a lot of leeway with this amp. The half power switch gives you some extra compression and “pushed amp” feel at the lower volumes when your sound guy or significant other is giving you dirty looks.

To round out the feature set we have the Contour and Reverb controls. The Contour knob plays like a high pass filter. All the way left is warm and round, right is crisp and bright. It sounds fabulous at noon for a starting point, and can be used to quickly balance different pickup types without fiddling with the full EQ section. The tube-driven spring Reverb is absolutely gorgeous. It thickens and sweetens, yet stays out of the way.

This Wonderland Overdrive 50W head features a Golden Brown Suede covering and Oxblood Gold Stripe grill. We have it paired with a matching Amplified Nation 1x12 oversized cab loaded with a Celestion G12-65. Both head and cab are included in the listing, along with power cable, footswitch and 7-pin DIN footswitch cable.
