Terrific Amp Morgan MVP23

This is one of multiple guitar amplifiers I own, all tube amps with two exceptions. I was looking for something I could use for both practice and jams. I was particularly drawn to the power-scaling capabilities. This amp puts out the sweetest tones at all volume levels. I did expect to have a bit more of a clean tone capability than it has. Instead, it has a little hair on it… read more at all times, but it is a pleasant bit of hair that I can quickly transform into real crunch. I was not looking for a high-gain sound. I have an old Fender Tweed Deluxe (TV style, 1949), a Fender Princeton Recording Amp and a Blackstar (1-watt/5-watt) among others. This has quickly become my favorite amp. It's so responsive to touch. It takes pedals well. Really the only thing I wish it had that it does not is a headphone line out. Thanks to Sweetwater's Ryan Gregory for helping me select this amp. Very fortunate to have him as a resource.

Excellent for recording!

The Morgan MVP 23 is an awesome amp, I've used it for multiple applications gigging and recording. The tone is great and as previous reviewers have said, it does the Vox sound really well. What I love about it, is with the certain OD pedals this amp can growl and for me I have found that in my opinion the Keeley red dirt OD and this amp are meant for each other. My only complaint… read more is in certain cases I've found that the low end is not quite there, obviously depending on what guitar I'm using, in my humble opinion some guitars don't pair well with this amp while others sound amazing. Thats with all amps and guitars. The power scaling feature works really well and it truly allows you to get quite volume levels while retaining that special tone guitar players love. As a recording tool this amp is great, I also have a Dr Z maz 18 and I use a radial bigshot AbY switcher with both amps. When I record, the DRZ and Morgan compliment each other as a stereo guitar rig, and I get some crazy sounds. The Morgan MVP 23 is another tool I use for my musical expression and its amazing.

Outstanding

This is the best thing I have ever owned in my life. Sounds amazing and I'm done with my search for the tones I was looking for. Takes pedals great and the power scaling works killer. Versatile and rock solid. You won't be disappointed. Well worth the money.

Love this amp!

This amp has so much flexibility. Coming from the world of an Orange lunchbox head, which I still love, I just couldn't get the clean sounds I was looking for. The variety of sounds I get from this amp are more than enough for my studio recordings With matching cab, this sounds great. I am no expert at describing tone - but this has tone for days! Takes all my pedals great. No… read more effects loop like the orange I have, but I not convinced that effects loops are totally necessary. The variable power knob is great for keeping driven crunchy sounds at low volume. Perfect for home and studio. Richard Whittington, my sales engineer, did a great job keeping me up to date on the delivery and before I knew it I was playing through it and loving it! You cant go wrong with Sweetwater service and Joe Morgan amps!
