Morgan AC20 Combo
Morgan · amplifier
The Morgan AC20 is a 20-watt combo taking after the Vox AC-style circuit its name references, built by the American boutique maker Morgan Amplification. Where a vintage AC30 needs substantial volume before it opens up, a 20-watt interpretation reaches that chime and compression at more usable levels. Morgan build hand-wired amplifiers in small numbers. It suits jangle, indie and classic rock players wanting AC-style chime from a boutique-built amp at manageable volume.
