Morgan · amplifier
The Morgan PR12 is a low-wattage head from the American boutique maker, the PR designation referencing the Princeton-style circuit it takes after — a small Fender-derived design known for early, forgiving breakup and strong touch response. Driftwood refers to the covering. At low wattage it saturates at volumes usable indoors. It suits blues and roots players wanting a hand-wired Princeton-flavoured amp for studio and small-room work.
