Okay I've had mine about 2-3 weeks now and have played it at a couple band practices and at home and this is my favorite amp. Once the speaker broke in it opened up and became such a sparkling tone monster. I previously was playing a Deluxe Reverb and it had too much clean headroom. This thing kills it.
I saw one of these new in the store for 20% off street PLUS no sales tax (NH), saved @ 500 bucks it was a no brainer! This amp is amazing, the cleans are as good as the dirty tones I really cannot find a bad sound from this amp. It has a real Hi-FI sound to me if that makes sense and makes every guitar I plug in sound good IF it is tuned properly. Its a lot like a plexi, if you are out of tune this amp will let you know, there is nowhere to hide. I A/B'd it against a Carr rambler and chose the Morgan hands down. Great little amp if you are on the fence do not hesitate, I am so glad I pulled the trigger....
Does the size of the cab make a big difference? I’m used to a hot rod deluxe with a larger cab but I’m not sure how much the size affects it. Excuse the amateur question.
Just got this, so far not happy at all with it. Super quiet, unless power scale maxed and then there trying to run it mostly clean at edge of breakup it made any ODs on top of it sound awful. Unplayable unless I’m doing something wrong but overdrives are set low gain as usual and my AC15 handles them wonderfully, I’m just looking for a good quality amp to upgrade to. Thoughts?
I notice Mr. Carr has the treble rolled off a bit in the demo. To me, it sounds just a bit muffled. Check out where he plays with the EQ controls (~4:00). Anyway, I'd mess with the EQ and gain staging until you find its "best" tone to your ears. Also, swap in a few different dirt boxes. I find the ones that work best with Marshalls or Voxes (e.g. Fulltone OCD) sound like crap with Fenders, although not entirely vice versa. So, possibly, the Morgan has a Fender-ish front end? Anyway, just some things to try. It sounds like a good amp to me. So you should be able to get something good out of it with your guitars and pedals.
Mess with the mid control. I have this amp and love it. Controls are simple but take a minute to dial in. Power all the way up, gain at 11 o'clock, roll the mids all the way down, treble between 1-2 o'clock, bass around 11 o'clock, volume to taste = black panel Fender. Add a little more treble and turn the bass down = Vox-ish tones. For Marshall crunch, gain all the way up, volume at noon, treble at 1 o'clock, bass at 11 o'clock, mids all the way up. The mid control acts like a regular mid control until you get it to about 9 o'clock and then it adds gain past that. It controls the overall gain of the tone stack. Remember, this amp has NO negative feedback so it won't try to stay clean like a black Fender and you will hear EVERYTHING the guitar does. It's very responsive. If you hear unpleasant fizz you could also have a bum tube. Depending on your taste and style you can get away plugging straight in with no drive pedals at all.
I felt the same way at first. Bought a Strymon Flint and forgot all about it. Also, at least 2 fewer tubes, caps and components, and a reverb tank to worry about. Keep it simple. No effects loop either. Don't need one.
Sweetwater, please put in the title of this video. If you have time to waste please watch our superficial review of the Morgan mvp23. Now I will continue searching for other videos because this told me very little.
Played this amp a few month back and it's the best sounding/feeling amp I have ever played.
I’ve never played a dumble either
@@coaldoubt2879 🙄
The production quality of your recent demos are really top notch, Sweetwater!
I own this amp and I can't think of a single negative. Absolute tone machine. Sounds great clean or overdriven and loves pedals.
I agree. Had mine a few weeks now and I've fallen deeply in love with it. It just sounds great. Cleans, overdrive. Whatever.
The MVP23 sounds glorious.......just sounds correct to my ears. All the right el-84 sounds without the bad attributes I've heard from other builders.

Simply the best amp I have ever owned and played.
How many amps do you own?
I have to agree. I have one and absolutely love it.
Jeez that sounds amazing with the strat bridge pickup. Got one on order and am really looking forward to running a P90 into it.
About to do the same, how did the 90’s sound?
@@raider1063any update?
Coolest looking amp i have ever seen.
Didn't know how great Morgan amps were until tried an AC20. Incredible amps - no hype.
@Colin Blaine yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

Amazing sounding amp -
Great demo. Comes with the secret weapon (G12H 75W Creamback), never a bad sound out of them :)
Great demo, all questions answered!
played this at G center the other day, incredible amp.
Great playing!
Winner!!

As an admirer of the new format: what kind of cameras and video editing software are you guys using to make these videos?
Very very nice

What do you mean in particular? With my Klon, I experience some unpleasant top end sizzling.
Fender mustang is 4 u “sport”
Francis Falzone Huh? Sport? Not called for...

Would this amp be good for Jazz/rock/fusion stuff?
Should I trade my PRS MT15 for this?
What are the mic being used ?
Gorgeous sounding, but too many comparable amps that give you reverb.

Echoplex, why, to fill out the sound?

What other information do you seek?
Jesus Loves You
but he's not like IN LOVE with you
Orange Dual Terror is cheaper and it has got a warmer and consistent sound than this amp.
My Line 6 Spyder amp sounds better than this . . .cough cough . . .
No it doesn't.
nice demo but silly hair
