One of my sons lives in Huntington Beach and If you look closely when Mick Jagger performs for the first time at a Grammy Awards, look at his amps.  You will see the Morgan brand on Jagger’s Amp.  That’s my son Joey (Joe to the world).  He builds these amps by hand and they are the best in the world.

And you did hear it from me.  I’m Joey’s momma.

Look for the Morgan crown on the Amp.

Morgan Amplification ~

Joe Morgan is an electrical engineer who started his career working on GPS satellites in the 80′s at Rockwell International. An avid guitar player and musician, Joe’s love for guitar amplifiers led him on a 10 year quest to discover all the subtle differences in guitar amplifier design and just how these differences effect tone. In this process he realized that the amps he gravitated to had one common element. They all were very touch sensitive and dynamic amplifiers that were as much a part of the player as the guitar is.

Armed with this information, Joe realized that the specific tonal tools he wanted were not being manufactured and originally started building his own amplifiers for his own personal use. As word of these amps leaked out it wasn’t long before Joe had a backlog of amp orders. Morgan Amplification is currently on tour with artists such as Matt Kearney, Tyrone Wells and Paper Route. Joe Morgan is currently designing and building his amps one at a time with the same care and devotion to tone that he had with his first personal units. He uses the best components available today to create world-class modern amplification that retains the vintage feel and tone of classic amplifiers. He also believes that good tone should be available to all guitar players and strives to keep his pricing on par with mass produced production units.

Proclaim the Queen!
