Definitive AC-style Tone at Reasonable Volumes

Dip into classic UK-style chime and grind with modern versatility, with the Morgan Amps Dual 20 Head amplifier. Based on the legendary AC-style amp design, you have your choice of Normal and Top Boost channels to plug your guitar into. Each channel offers individual EQ controls, while a global Cut control dials in just the right amount of bite from the power section. Speaking of which, the Dual 20 Head can sound sweet at any volume level — simply use its Power Level control to dial back its 20-watt operation, all the way down to a bedroom-friendly 1/4-watt. Whether you supplement your sound with a large pedalboard, or prefer to plug straight in, you can expect amazing tone from the Morgan Amps Dual 20 Head amplifier.

Your effects pedals will sound great

Morgan Amps knows that the key to getting a great tone from your overdrive and other pedals is to set your power amp level just right. You can do that and still keep the volume at a reasonable level, too, with the Dual 20 tube amp head. The power level control lets you adjust the power amp section's volume without actually choking the signal that's sent to the power tubes. That means you get the interaction between your pedals and the power amp that you need for great tone at whatever volume level is appropriate for your situation.

Two tube modes for two distinct voicings

Morgan Amps equips the Dual 20 Head with 12AX7 and EF86 tubes for an impressive range of tone. The EF86 is switchable — bringing it in allows you to achieve more growl and higher gain tone. You also have switchable control for brightness and bass cut. Between these three switches you can dial in all types of '60s British amp tones, from extremely clean to ultra-aggressive.

Simple controls unleash a wide tonal range

You can tell that Morgan Amps products like the Dual 20 tube amps are made for hard-gigging guitarists just by looking at them. The simple control set conceals a surprisingly wide range of tone, but you'll never have to spend long turning numerous knobs to get the right sound. Even if someone carelessly bumps all the knobs out of place, it will only take seconds to get your tone back. Guitarists at Sweetwater can appreciate any amplifier that can dial in a great tone quickly, and that's what you get with the Morgan Amps Dual 20 head.

Morgan Amps Dual 20 20-watt Tube Amp Head Features:

  • Class A, two-channel top-boost-style tube amplifier head
  • Extremely touch sensitive at any volume level

Rated 5/5

Soulful sound

I've had a hand wired VOX AC30 as well as a Morgan MVP23 combo but (probably because I grew up listening to the Beatles and prefer very soft and warm amplification) while the others are excellent, this amp is really the one to take me "there". Like a Proust Madeleine, this amp sends me back in time.
Compared to an AC30, the sound is a bit darker. The output is voluptuous and squishy. The amp can feel soulful and almost taciturne in some settings, which gives it a particular personality with a consistently powerful and never shrieking presence. Even in high gain levels where things get more unhinged, the amp keeps a fantastically smooth and squishy composure.

So far, while playing in all the different settings the amp offers, I haven't been able to get a bad sound. Though irrational as it may be, the time machine feel I get from this amp is genuine, distinct and very inspiring.

(I mostly play it paired with a double speaker Morgan cabinet with Celestion Creambacks, but even with other outputs I get the same warm, dark and fuzzy feel).
Rated 5/5

Seriously Good!

The Morgan Dual 20 gives you the summit of Joe Morgan's chime and British rock tones all presented in a musician-friendly amp that sounds exceptional, loves your pedals and is oh so simple to use! At the heart of the Normal Channel is the Morgan AC20 Deluxe amp, complete with both 12AX7 and EF86 tube preamp sections. Riding shotgun on the second channel is the top boost circuit and controls found in the Morgan Abbey Amplifier! You get these two channels plus a switchable preamp feature that allows you to select between the 12AX7 or EF86 pre-amp tube-set when plugged into the Normal Channel. Add the individual channel and global tone-shaping controls and it all adds up to provide a widely rich and sonically stunning pallet to choose from – and all presented with a killer EL84 power tube section that's loaded with Joe Morgans'variable power control circuitry!

I love the easy-to-read chicken-head knobs and controls on the Morgan Dual 20. I find the controls intuitive, simple to use, and work as described! This makes it easy to dial up the tone you want and get it done quickly for the venue you're in! Pick attack, string clarity, harmonics, chime, dirt, and grind are all there, easy to dial-up and sound absolutely glorious! That EF86 tube in the preamp section is a monster and you're going to love using it! The Dual 20 is also an exceptional pedal platform, but I find myself using fewer now cause I just don't need them anymore. I've come to adore the versatile simplicity of this amp!

The Morgan Dual 20 is ruggedly built and travels like pro-grade gear. Unlike some tube amps, I have zero concerns transporting it, plugging it in, and cranking it up! It is a consistent performer that delivers tone like a boss! My Sales Engineer Zac Terhune was right on target about this amp! The Morgan Dual 20 was just what I was looking for!
