In today's video, Paul From The Studio Rats is looking at possibly the most versatile guitar amp ever Amplied Nation Ampliphonix And Gain.
This fantastic amp is one of only a few amps ive ever tried that can trully do amazing cleans and amazing drive tones.
EBay listing for the amp
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3258249648...
Here is what Amplified Nation say about the Ampliphonix And Gain.
The Ampliphonix and Gain is a unique offering in our product line. This amp has two independent channels and an output section of either 6L6 or EL34 tubes. This unique amplifier is built with both Ultraphonix Plexi high-gain and Ultraphonix Fender cleans in the same package. The tones are astounding when laying down heavy gain tracks, or when you’re looking for shimmer and clarity.
The Ampliphonix channel is the clean side of the amp. It’s based off of an original Dumble Ultraphonix that we had in the shop for about a year. Its got a very unique sound with a beautiful swirl that sounds like the amp is actually breathing notes from your guitar. This channel is bold and powerful, with remarkable character and presence. It has a bright switch for additional tonal flexibility.
The Gain channel has a high gain recollective of a modded Marshall Plexi with more evenly rounded bass notes. Its high gain preamp rocks hard but can also be dialed back for great classic rock sounds. This channel is extremely fun to play and it it is a remarkable experience to be able to switch from such great cleans to this powerful blanket of overdrive.
The Ampliphonix and Gain has reverb on both channels. The amp comes with a two-button footswitch that toggles the channels and a clean boost.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

Magnatone vibrato is definitely different sounding than Fenders harmonic trem in the larger Brownface line. On a day to day usability I actually prefer Fender harmonic or even the brownface bias trem on the smaller brownfaces but it's all personal preference.

Paul, I really appreciate the excellent information, great video content and the variety of gear you demo...which always achieves excellent results and I find extremely helpful ! I have a question and since I find your demos very trustworthy. I currently have a Bogner Goldfinger (GF) SL45 and it does the Fender BF and Marshall Plexi thing very well in a two channel format. However, it's a head/cabinet and I'd prefer a combo. When I saw your demo the Amplified Nation Ampliphonix and Gain I thought wow, this amp is worth looking into to achieve the type of sounds I want and in a combo format...do you feel this amp is really as good as advertised and could take the place of my Bogner GF? Thank you.

Before you finished the sentence starting with “now this is subjective,” I was thinking “yes. Agreed.” That’s THE clean tone for me. Hopefully I can find one of these amps when I hit the lottery…😂 Reverb is really nice but I do wish it had the Dumble send/return for laying it on …WHAT? The gain sound?!?! 100% agree that this would probably be the only amp I would need. Only thing left to test would be running a metal dist preamp through the fx loop for some chunk. All bases covered. Bonkers.

@hootowl6354 2 ай бұрын

@@TheStudioRats Yes. There is a lot of praise for low-powered amps these days, but IMO, 50 watts and up does give you something extra: punch. And of course, more headroom. Same sort of thing for speaker cabs. 1x12's are common. But a closed-back 4x12 can't be beat for thump. It all largely depends on what type of music you play, as well as if you need to lug the things around. If I were to buy an Ampliphonix and Gain, I'd get an EL34 50-watt, since that is more appropriate for the Gain/Marshallesque side of things. But I'm also tempted by the AN Reverb Overdrive. I already have a 1986 JCM 800 2203, though I'd sell it if buying the Amp and Gain. The Phil X is perfect for what I play, but I can't stand the ridiculous faceplate labelling; and I'm trying to get away from four power tubes. Anyway, thanks for answering my question. Much appreciated.
