Oh My This Is Good- Amplified Nation Wonderland Overdrive V2

[@quantumvox8424]

Man!! the best tone in the whole KZbin Universe!

[@justinespinosa7878]

I have a combo version and it’s simple stunning. Bedroom levels to cranks this amp makes my heart happy.

[@TheStudioRats]

Couldn't agree more!

[@equalleftrights3130]

Whats this? A fellow shooter? 🤘🏼 Is this amp really suited for bedroom playing? I have to play tube amps even when practicing and I dont like to crank them all the time. Im looking for something different than Marshall type gain and a well built amp. I have enough Marshall type amps.

[@jeffhayes605]

The preamp gain is beautiful at bedroom volume but when you crank it up with a band the power amp gain kicks in on the master and really makes you appreciate how perfect this amp is. Sooo dynamic.

[@denniscoverband4369]

Great sounding tones from that amp. However what stands out to me is Paul’s expressive playing and ability to demonstrate the amp’s capabilities. Top notch stuff Rats!

[@TheStudioRats]

Thanks Dennis

[@fasteddievh2072]

Excellent demo! Tone to die for. (“Wildflower” -The Cult.). 🔥🤘👍

[@thomasschreiner6356]

Great demo, as always and fantastic playing. I love this incredible clean tone with the Strat.

[@TheStudioRats]

Thank you kindly!

[@anthonycosta2662]

Your playing is always on point Paul. You always bring out the best in gear.

[@TheStudioRats]

Thank you kindly!

[@keithcole6329]

Aside from the amp sounding amazing that strat he is using is as close to perfect a sound as I have ever heard. Legendary.

[@LaneyGriffith]

The guitarist is the highlight of this video. The amp is by all means probably a quality product. But, it's a posh copy of a copy of a copy that is priced out of reach for most people that watch this channel without going in debt more than they actually need too. Appreciate your quality demo of the product, LOVED the playing more.

[@youropionmattersnot]

A set up China Squire Tele with a $500 Fender blues Jr and a couple of good pedals will get all this all day for under a grand total.

[@jeffhayes605]

@@youropionmattersnot No it will not. It sounds great and you can get the recorded tone close no doubt. However the room sound and especially the feel does not exist anywhere near the $1000 mark. Sucks for guys like me working two jobs but you get what you pay for. And you gotta be serious about it.

[@cidnewman8032]

I've been playing 45+ years, and wasted too much money, on pedals, amps, modelers, profilers, pickups, guitars, etc., etc.. in all of that time. The truth? If you only play for fun, or to impress your friends, or only play one type of music and just need an amp that does 'metal', you're right. Otherwise, what you're saying is really false economy, based on a short term expense. What Amplified Nation is making is pretty incredible, to the point where I've started listing my current amps and pedals for sale (not the KTR's), in order to get just one of their amps. It's all I'll need. 🎸

[@jeffhayes605]

@@cidnewman8032 you won’t regret it. I sold a tone king imperial, a Mesa Lonestar, and several high end pedals to get mine. It has everything you’ll ever need for 99% of music

[@dans5529]

I don't have time to watch the full video now, so maybe you mentioned it, but I really hope you're making a TONEX pack for this amp!

[@DirkSchneiderCH]

I recently bought a dirty wonderland and it is really a fantastic amp! I‘m really overwhelmed by the sounds one can achieve at really low levels! It‘s amazing! If you ever get to play one of their amps you gotta just do it! Oh, btw. it makes me wanna play every day…

[@peterham3341]

I am having a tough time deciding....would you feel this is more versatile than the Ampliphonix and Gain? In what situations would you choose one over the other? Hopefully, you can do comparison videos down the line as well. Cheers! Great content, sir!

[@HA-tb2fv]

Great question. Too bad no one answered

[@TheStudioRats]

Sometimes I miss things, especially if there’s a lot of comments. Yes I prefer it to the Ampliphonix. It’s not more versatile tho.

[@HA-tb2fv]

@@TheStudioRats Thanks man. Killer playing and great review. I have the this amp on order.

[@alexhedstrom582]

I used to think these were “too expensive”, but now I’m starting to think -when you compare it to a $999 blues deluxe (which I love), these things amps are a steal. 3x the price for 10x the tone? No brainer. Can’t wait to get one.

[@sroelit]

I’ve heard quite a few Two-Rock demos on KZbin. But I played one live for the first time a few weeks ago-and it was just different. I have the feeling this amp might produce the same experience live vs over KZbin.

[@matthewgregg31]

I play this very amp live and can definitely vouch for that.

[@Peetie_Wheatstraw]

Great review! I liked that you used several different guitars with different pickup types/configurations. I really like the Master control functionality on this amp that allows the amp sound to remain the same whether at low/medium/high volume, as well as the sound of the Reverb. The tone of this amp is amazing!

[@actionjacksondan]

I really wish you would tell us your opinion of this vs ODR

[@WakadooPlaypen]

Thank you, going back and forth between WOv2 (21" for travel +case) and ODRev (at 24" + case bit too large is caveat). Excellent playing and videos. Worth a Subscription.

[@SidSub]

sick demo, now does it knock your overdrive reverb off the #1 spot?

[@user-xl3cq7ln3u]

Would I be correct to assume that the Wonderland Overdrive is an amp with a Fender Clean and Dumble drive channel while the Overdrive Reverb is a 1:1 clone of an dumble Overdrive Special?

[@TheStudioRats]

That’s how I would describe it.

[@jasoncolap]

Truly sounds incredible

[@TheStudioRats]

He makes amazing amps

[@bradhawks1387]

Great playing. Now that you've tried several of the models do you have a preference? From the demo's I've watched I have a soft spot for the Overdrive Reverb, but this and your Ampliphonix and Gain demo have me seriously reconsidering what I might order.

[@TheStudioRats]

My favourite is the Wonderland OD

[@silvel2edge]

@@TheStudioRatsi ended up placing an order for the WOv2 100watt and requested the dirty switches. Taylor recommended the 100 just to ensure i have plenty of headroom as I also plan to run my pedals with it. As well as amp only. Do you still have the WO or just the Overdrive Reverb (Phoenix Fury) now? Is this one still your favorite? Cheers!

[@jasonsanderlin7167]

Is the master volume good enough to get these amazing tones at home volumes. As in wife sleeping in the next room? Just wondering how low it can go without needing an attenuator. Thanks!

[@TheStudioRats]

It’s good but there’s always going to be a compromise when it comes to valve amps at low volume

[@jasonsanderlin7167]

@@TheStudioRats yea, that’s true. Some things are wishful thinking 🤣🤣

[@MrSteney]

I love these amps. They sound amazing. I'll have to settle on a Bad Cat Cub and a Cornerstone Gladio. I'm curious about their pedals now. I'll have to look into some reviews on them.

[@jeffhayes605]

It takes pedals really well also. You really don’t need them though. One of my bands play covers only from so many different genres so that’s the only time I use my board.

[@BradRocker]

All I can say is.......What an amp.

[@equalleftrights3130]

The amp sounds killer what speakers were used?

[@theariesexperiment4642]

It sounds incredible. When you dropped the tone circuit on the gain channel I said "that's it. That the sound.". So saturated and chewy sounding. And no pedal. I call that "naturally aspirated".😊👍 Dream amp for me.

[@TheStudioRats]

It is a dream amp, it’s got everything

Cheers Taco, I’d like to review the steel string. It’s all dependent on if Amplified Nation want to send one over for review

[@mattc1176]

I'm sure you're right, and don't get me wrong, modellers are great. But I think this a flawed approach... If you AB a meal cooked with different pans and knives you likely won't taste a difference - but those choices mattered to the chef.

[@pnwdrifter5680]

@@mattc1176 that's an interesting way of looking at it. As a player, with ears, I'd say you are the chef and the patron in the restaurant. To me it's not necessarily tube vs model, but other factors. If you are in a live band, covering multiple styles, a Katana Mk2 Artist is so obviously the better choice. If I was recording tones, and wanted that chef authenticity, the amp demoed would be great choice. Now what is the price differential? 😁

[@TeleCaster66]

This is miles above a Katana in person. There is no comparison.

@@TeleCaster66 I'm sure - but I'm also sure there's plenty of real world contexts where sonically it's a horse apiece from the audience perspective.

[@pnwdrifter5680]

@@TeleCaster66 Well, that's a bold claim. There is always a comparison. Is Gibson better than Fender? PRS better than who? Certainly the price tag is miles above the Katana. I'm not denying that the AN-W is a nice sounding amp. I'd like to get one. $3500 USD vs $570 USD. Now that is a comparison. 6x the price.
