Morgan MVP23 Combo

Morgan · amplifier

The Morgan MVP23 Combo pairs the MVP23 head's hand-wired, EL84-powered circuit and variable 1/4-to-23-watt Power Level scaling with an onboard 1x12 speaker in a self-contained combo format. It shares the same special phase inverter, full tone stack, and wide power-scaling range as the head version, giving players the same flexibility from bedroom practice to small-venue gigging, now without needing a separate cabinet.
