The RCA35R from Morgan is a Blackface-inspired design with expanded capabilities and modern flexibility. It features a dedicated gain control paired with a master output volume, allowing players to dial in everything from sparkling cleans to more saturated tones. Onboard reverb further enhances its versatility, making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or for everyday playing. This particular amp is equipped with 5881 power tubes, putting out roughly 35 watts. Here’s what Morgan has to say about it:
"The Morgan RCA35R starts with the circuit from the RCA35 and then adds three spring tube driven reverb. The Morgan RCA35R was designed around a special output transformer that is equally happy with 6L6s or 6V6s or EL34s or KT66s or KT77s or 6CA7s. The RCA35’s unique design allows any of these tubes to be swapped in. Simply choose a matched pair and just plug and play. The Cathode Bias design allows you to swap power tubes without the need for rebiasing.
The RCA35R has a black face style tone stack. The Bass, Mid, and Treb controls give you a wide range of tones. Do not be afraid to use extreme settings on the tone controls, they are designed to give you the most dramatic swings available to allow you to go from clean and glassy like an EL84 class A amp to thick and grindy like the best plexi you have ever heard. The RCA35R reverb is also run parallel to the original tone stack. This means when the reverb is not being used it is totally out of the circuit unlike most other guitar amp reverbs."
