Joe Morgan has been building, modifying and repairing amplifiers since 1996, and he was on the engineering team that developed the first GPS satellites. Every Morgan is wired by hand, on custom Mercury Magnetics transformers, and covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
Combos and heads share the same hand-wired circuits. Cabinets come in the same tolex. The Fuzz is built on the same bench.
Amp and speaker in one cabinet. Carry it in one hand, plug in, play.

The Morgan Tweed 20 is an amp I originally built for a friend of mine who is a major session player in Nashville.
The Morgan PR12 is based around the small American 12W combo from the 60’s.
The Morgan Fuzz pedal was developed for players that don’t like fuzz pedals!
Joe Morgan was part of the engineering team that developed the first GPS satellites. He has been building, modifying and repairing amplifiers since 1996, and his designs turn up in stadiums and arenas, and on award-show stages.
He designs for the working musician, whether that means a Sunday morning church gig or a world tour. Transformers are custom designed by Mercury Magnetics, which is the part of the amp that decides its sonic signature, and the reason Joe is willing to put a limited lifetime warranty behind every build.
We live at the intersection of history and technology: the best examples of the past, built with what we know now.
