~ Morgan Amplification ~

Joe Morgan is an electrical engineer who started his career working on GPS satellites in the 80's at Rockwell International. An avid guitar player and musician, Joe's love for guitar amplifiers led him on a 10 year quest to discover all the subtle differences in guitar amplifier design and just how these differences effect tone. In this process he realized that the amps he gravitated to had one common element. They all were very touch sensitive and dynamic amplifiers that were as much a part of the player as the guitar is.

Armed with this information, Joe realized that the specific tonal tools he wanted were not being manufactured and originally started building his own amplifiers for his own personal use. As word of these amps leaked out it wasn't long before Joe had a backlog of amp orders. Morgan Amplification is currently on tour with artists such as Matt Kearney, Tyrone Wells and Paper Route. Joe Morgan is currently designing and building his amps one at a time with the same care and devotion to tone that he had with his first personal units. He uses the best components available today to create world-class modern amplification that retains the vintage feel and tone of classic amplifiers. He also believes that good tone should be available to all guitar players and strives to keep his pricing on par with mass produced production units.

Morgan SW - $1999-$2550

This amp started from a request by a customer to copy an amp from the early 70s that he owned. He was offered 45,000.00 for the amp and felt like it wouldn't be a good idea to use it out at any more bar gigs...

Morgan 30/800

Formerly known as the MV3.8k, this amp combines the classic voicing of Vox AC30 with the grind of the JCM800. The 30/800 goes from sweet jangly cleans all the way through hair metal. Even at the highest gain levels your clean tone is only a turn of your guitars volume knob away...

Morgan AC20

Based around the normal channel of an AC30 and voiced intentionally to be on the dark side, this amp provides the perfect combination of clean chime and AC30 grind. With the bright switch off and a good treble booster think Brian May. With the bright switch engaged think U2. Also available in 40 watts as the Envy 40.

Morgan Dual 20

The Dual 20 is a dual channel 20 watt amp. The first channel is an all topboost-style full tone stack- treb mid bass- with a pull bright on the volume. The second channel is up to you. You get to decide if you want the lower gain normal channel (12AX7) or the higher gain EF86. This channel only has a volume control with a pull bright, so you can dial in the tone with the global cut control much like the AC20. Mix and match. Some customers use the EF86 in the topboost side and keep a cleaner normal channel. Bottom line: it is up to you. The Dual 20 also features power scaling as a stock option...

Morgan MV45

The MV45 is Morgan Amplification's take on the small box 50 watt design. It has more gain than a plexi avail but less than a SLO. It is designed to be extremely touch sensitive and will react to your pick attack and volume control better than any amp you have played. Designed to be able to run either a set of EL34 or 6v6 power tubes, it comes stock with bias test points on the back of the amp to assist you in easy tube swaps...

Morgan RCA35

Ok, so a good customer asks for a clean head room amp in a small head shell with a good master volume. Morgan had a couple of ideas and this is the realization of that tone. A small light weight 35 watt full tone stack amp that just kicks ass. Chimey cleans, plenty of volume can get that edge of breakup tones at low volumes or can also be a great jazz amp...

The tone stack consists of treble, mid, bass and a focus control. The focus control shifts the mid-range sweep of the entire stack allowing you to dial in just the right amount of cut.
