Morgan JS12 Josh Smith Signature Tweed Combo - USA 2022

Here is a 2022 Morgan JS12 Combo in tweed, near new and an exceptional example of one of Morgan’s most musical and expressive low wattage amps. The JS12 was designed in collaboration with acclaimed American guitarist Josh Smith, whose initials it carries. Smith is widely regarded as one of the most influential modern blues and roots players, known for his touch sensitivity, dynamic control and deep understanding of vintage tone. Morgan built the JS series to capture that feel, delivering the responsiveness and immediacy that Smith demands from an amp on stage and in the studio.

The JS12 is voiced around classic American clean tones with a strong mid punch, natural compression and a smooth top end. It stays articulate at lower volumes but breaks up in a rich and controlled way when pushed. The simple control layout keeps the focus on touch, attack and guitar volume, and it takes pedals beautifully. The amp feels very alive under the fingers, responding instantly to pick dynamics and position shifts.

The tweed covering gives it a classic vintage look, and as expected from Morgan the build quality is superb with high grade components, solid cabinetry and an exceptionally low noise floor. Paired with the single 12 inch speaker, the JS12 offers a wide sweet spot, warm harmonics and plenty of clarity. It is an excellent recording amp and equally at home on a small to medium stage.

Condition is near new with no notable wear and everything functioning perfectly. Lightweight, portable and inspiring to play, this JS12 is an ideal choice for anyone seeking boutique quality with a classic American voice and the dynamic feel that Josh Smith is known for.
