MGL AmpWorks Lead Master 50 Amp Head
(Item#450)(NEW PRICING!!) MGL AmpWorks Lead Master 50 (MGL50). 50 watt master volume circuit amp that started off as a clone of my personal 2204 Marshall head that I’ve owned for the last 23 years. I’ve had many of these amps thru my store and this one is the best I’ve heard. Many of the ’79 – ’83 2204 amps have a lower voltage mains transformer and most agree that these were the best sounding JMP and early JCM800 50w heads. The basic circuit and voltages of the MGL50 are based on my 2204, but it has evolved into a more versatile amp including some very useful features & options listed. GAIN STRUCTURE: The mini switch on the front panel next to the preamp knob allows you to switch between 2 different gain structures. In the down position you get the stock 2204 value for classic rock Marshall crunch. In the up position you get more gain that will easily cover most ‘80’s heavier rock and produces a very smooth and singing lead tone. NEGATIVE FEEDBACK: The "Voicing" switch on the back panel allows you to choose between 2 different taps on the output transfomer for the negative feedback signal . The "Classic" position is a bit darker, smoother and softer and in the "Modern" position it gets a little tighter, more aggressive and brighter with a bit more gain. EFFECTS LOOP: Uses the Metropoulos “Zero Loss” loop that incudes a “true bypass” switch. BUILD COMPONENTS: Locally made .090” aluminum chassis w/ welded and finish ground corners, gloss black powder coating and screened text with metallic gold ink, brass screws used in assembly. Period correct voltage mains transformer, Merren Audio hand wound paper bobbin 784-139 output transformer, Custom wound UK Dagnall power choke, ARS filter caps, PTP hand wired on in-house made turret boards, CTS pots, NOS Amphenol power tube sockets & Belton preamp tube sockets w/ gold anodized covers, 18 AWG mil spec Teflon insulated silver plated copper stranded wire, SoZo NexGen capacitors are used in all positions , 1 watt carbon film resistors, real UK Cliff jacks, Mullard reissue EL34 power tubes, NOS military grade Chinese 12AX7 preamp tubes, Swanson Cabinets 26” or 24” tolexed Baltic Birch head cab (tolex color choices at no extra charge) PRICING: BASE MODEL - $2,200.00 (comes w/ black knobs), KNURLED BRASS KNOBS - $40.00, NOS SIEMENS EL34 POWER TUBES - $75.00, HARDWOOD CAB (Figured Maple, Cherry, Black Walnut) - $300.00

MGL AmpWorks MGL20 Amp Head
(Item#449) MGL AmpWorks MGL20 head. The basic circuit of the amp is much the same as the MGL50, which is based on the JMP 50w 2204 master volume head. But with a custom low voltage mains transformer and a pair of 6V6 power tubes. So a killer master volume Marshall tone that's about 22 watts. Like the MGL50, the lower voltage makes the amp very smooth and sweet but still has plenty of Marshall like attitude! The main focus for the amp was that it had to sound great at low "at home" volumes, but also would do fine at lower volume band gigs and rehearsals. And it does all of that and then some!! Amp is available in 3 head cab sizes, 26"(standard 50 small box), 24" and a small 20" to fit on top of the smaller 1-12" speaker cabs without hanging over the sides. In the pictures posted, the first head is in a 20" cab, 2nd head is a Burgundy 24" and the rest are 26". There is also matching 24" 1-12" speaker cab now available. Just like the MGL50, this amp is all point to point hand wired and built by Guy Harvey. As with the MGL50, all high quality parts are used. The first .022uf cap in the circuit is an NOS Mullard Mustard cap, all others are SoZo tone caps, CTS pots, custom USA made transfomers, in-house made turret boards, mil spec teflon wire, NOS Chinese Military grade 12AX7 preamp tubes & choice of TAD or JJ 6V6 power tubes, .090" aluminum chassis w/ welded & ground corners, black powder coat and screened with metallic gold ink. The amp in either size head cab is $1,650.00 with the Metropoulos "Zero Loss" effects loop as an option for $180.00. Custom tolex colors are also available depending on what Swanson has in stock. Email or call for more info. MP3 SOUND CLIPS AVAILABLE ON MY YOUTUBE PAGE. MGL20 CLIPS

Very resonant and loud acoustically(the whole guitar vibrates), bottom end has good punch, is focused, and single low notes have a presence and ring to them that's almost Fender like, mids are clear, fat and honky but not dark, great bridge pickup lead tone that has a vocal like character, top end has some bite and sizzle but stays smooth and not at all harsh, neck pickup is warm and fat but also very clear and focused, guitar has very noticeable overall presence and great sustain.
