Amplified Nation is a boutique guitar amplifier manufacturer based in Hudson, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston. Founded by Taylor Cox, the company started out doing vintage amplifier repair and restoration before expanding into custom cabinetry and, eventually, building handmade tube amplifiers one at a time. Taylor handles design and building while co-founder Alyson Cox runs marketing, graphic design, and artist relations.

The brand is closely associated with Dumble-style circuits and aesthetics, including suede-covered cabinets and smooth, singing overdrive voicings. Core models include the Wonderland Overdrive, the Phoenix Fury, the Bombshell Overdrive, and a Steel String Singer-style amp inspired by Dumble SSS #005. Alongside heads and combos, the company builds matching 1x12 and 2x12 speaker cabinets and effects such as the Bigger Bloom Overdrive pedal.

Everything is assembled by hand in-house, and the amps are sold both direct and through boutique dealers like Sweetwater, Willcutt Guitars, Emerald City Guitars, and Northerner Guitars. Amplified Nation has built a reputation in the boutique tone community for hand-wired craftsmanship and Dumble-inspired overdriven cleans aimed at touring professionals and enthusiast players alike.

Amplified Nation has 16 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Guitar Amplifier Heads, Guitar Amplifier Cabinets, and Combo Guitar Amplifiers. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Blues. Notable users include R.J. Ronquillo, Frank Iero, and Ray Toro.
