Sound Pure's Take

The Morgan Dual 20 has great vintage British tones in a single compact, sleek enclosure. This two channel amp is voiced with 12AX7 preamps (switchable to EF86's on the normal channel) and EL84 power tubes to give you the rich harmonic chime we've become accustomed to hearing from vintage British amps of its lineage.

The first channel is based off the normal channel of the Morgan AC20, a simple volume knob with a pull bright switch. You are able to further dial in your tone through the universal cut knob and an option to switch between 12AX7's or an EF86 in the front end. The mini toggle on the front acts as a bass cut for this input which tightens up the low end for a sweeter, more rounded sound. 

The top boosted channel contains a traditional treble, mid, and bass EQ with another pull bright volume knob. This channel has a mid boost control and more gain on tap, allowing you to push the front end of the amp a little more without having it mud up and fart out on you. 

Single coil pickups sound HUGE through this amp, full and rich but still maintaining a crisp brightness. You might need to back down the gain when using humbuckers to keep the sweet rounded tone, but this amp has the uncanny ability of sounding great in multiple genres and settings.

This particular used amp is in phenomenal condition. It comes with a matching Morgan 1x12 cabinet and was kept in a smoke-free home studio. This is a great deal one an incredible amp!

From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)

Dual 20

The Dual 20 is a dual channel 20 watt amp. The first channel is an all topboost-style full tone stack (treb/mid/bass) with a pull bright on the volume. The second channel is based around the normal channel like my AC20. The Normal channel is also switchable between EF86 and 12AX7 via a switch on the back of the amp. This channel only has a volume control with a pull bright, so you can dial in the tone with the global cut control much like the AC20. Mix and match. The Dual 20 also features power level control.

1x12

Open backed cabs designed to give you the largest soundstage possible from a single 12" speaker. These cabinets are all dove tail finger jointed with the best possible baltic birch available. I don't hide the quality of the wood under black paint on the inside of the cabs.
