MGL20 V2

Now available, the NEW MGL20 Version 2 (V2). Over the last bunch of months we’ve had a number of customers that couldn’t decide between the standard MGL20 circuit and the high gain version. So that sparked the idea of combining both circuits in one amp. The MGL20 prototype is around just for these projects! By adding a mini switch on the front and back panel we came up with a way to incorporate both circuits in the same amp. I then lent the prototype to a good local customer who played it quite a bit for a few months and he was super happy with the tones he was getting from both circuits. We are now building one for him. I told a few other potential customers about it and they both ordered this new version. So as of now, all future MGL20 amps will be built to this spec.  

The switch on the front to the right of the input jack selects between the 2 gain structures. In the down position it’s the original circuit, and in the up position you get the high gain.

The switch on the back between the speaker jack and fuse holder selects the choice between 2 different fixed resonance circuit values. The down position works great with the original circuit. In the up position you get more bottom end thump and that works well with the high gain circuit. Use whichever one gets you the sound you’re looking for!
