Morgan Amps Suite
A legacy of vintage modern amplifiers revered for their warmth and responsiveness.
Overview
In the world of guitar amplification, few names shine as brightly as Morgan Amplification. For over a decade, this illustrious company has sculpted soundscapes and shaped musical journeys, earning a place of honor in the pantheon of amplifier legends.
Founded by the visionary amplifier builder and guitarist Joe Morgan in 2009, Morgan Amplification emerged as a beacon of craftsmanship and innovation in the industry. Drawing inspiration from era-defining vintage tones, Joe set out to create amplifiers that not only paid homage to the classics but also pushed the boundaries of sonic possibilities. The result? A legacy of amplifiers revered for their meticulous attention to detail, exceptional build quality, and incredible tonal artistry.
Throughout its storied history, Morgan Amplification has earned the admiration of numerous renowned artists. Guitar legends from diverse genres have turned to Morgan amplifiers to craft their sonic identities. From the searing riffs of Josh Smith (Joe Bonamassa, Raphael Saadiq) to the soulful melodies of Michael Landau (James Taylor and many more)
and to the genre-defying riffs of Tosin Abasi (Animals As Leaders), the Morgan sound has graced stages and studios worldwide.
Joe Morgan started building his amplifiers during the boom of boutique pedal builders and his motto was to provide amplifiers designed for the working musician and their need for amps that work with complex pedal boards. These amplifiers have become the trusted companions of artists seeking an unparalleled blend of warmth, responsiveness, and harmonic richness.
We've painstakingly replicated the essence of three of these iconic amplifiers, ensuring that every note you play carries the rich heritage and the boundless potential of Morgan Amplification.
We proudly present to you, the Morgan Amps Suite.
Pre Effects
CMP: A very responsive compressor pedal, based on the circuits found in high-end recording desks, with an additional blend control for increased transparency. The attack switch provides two different compressor tones. The fast setting is snappier and more suited for funk playing, whereas the Slow setting mimics the behavior of more traditional guitar compressors that is perfect for slow phrases or slide playing
OD1: An iconic overdrive, loved by many for its warm midrange capable of driving any amplifier.
OD2: A higher gain pedal, with a transparent and responsive overdrive that respects the characteristics of the guitar and the amplifier.
TRM: Inspired by the analog tremolo circuits found on classic vintage US amplifiers with sync ability added.
Amplifiers
Inspired by classic designs, modernized and made more reliable, these amps were born out of a desire to provide the most touch-sensitive and responsive sound possible while also providing an unparalleled pedal platform.
AC20
The Morgan AC20 is a single-channel, 20 watt amplifier based on a vintage Vox AC30. Provide very rich, thick tones at high gain settings.
PR12
The Morgan PR12 is a single-channel, 12 watt amplifier based on a vintage Fender Princeton Reverb. It offers bright, super clean tones to saggy overdrives. The PR12 also features a distinctive Spring Reverb that has become a hallmark of its success.
SW50R
The Morgan SW50R is a single-channel, 50 watt amplifier based on a Dumble clean channel with the addition of a tube-driven reverb tank.
