'69/70 Jr. and '69/70 Jr.+ Head
This new model replaces the Perplex'd Jr. 15 series. Very similar to the Lead channel of the Perplex’d S series and still Class A single ended EL34 package of 15 watts, but with the SS Loop and slight tweaks the amps character steers toward the new name.
The '+' has a Clean channel that is VTB designed after another British style amp that is cathode biased, and in this latest version is more organic, sounding rich when cranked into distortion range.
Model is true point to point wired.
The Master is designed to be ‘extremely’ smooth, coming on slow and linear all the way.
Don’t let the 15 watts fool you – this amp through a 4×12 kicks! Cleans are exceptional with your guitar volume rollback on the Lead channel too !

PERPLEX'D S3
New version !
The Perplex’d S3 has 3 INDEPENDENT channels. Each channel now has their own set of tone and volume controls ! (as of December 2020) There is NO compromise between Distortion channels since they can be dialed in with their own tone controls. Plus (just like the S2, there is separate voltages on these channels to suit their designated purposes). The LEAD and CRUNCH channels each have a 3 way Bright switch on their Gain controls to further tailor the bite.
The GLOBAL section has a Master / Presence / Depth control, with a 2 way switch for Presence cap - letting you decide if you want classic British value or a value that works more like a Raw control - pushing the overall frequencies 'more alive' jumping out of the speaker cabinet. (Like the Attack control on the S2)
The Clean channel has a lot of headroom with Volume / Treble / Bass controls, balancing nicely with the Distortion channels, keeping the same flavour.
SPECS S3 - $2599 USD
THREE CHANNELS - Clean, Crunch, Lead *All foot switchable*

MORRIS MUSCLE '69/70
MORRIS MUSCLE '69/70LV
MORRIS MUSCLE '69/70LV
MM '69/70 single channel. It is a take on our modded '69/70 Marshall tremolo head - and is single channel with SS FX Loop. It has two Input jacks - LOW is a stock Bright channel of a 4 input - with a Master - which when turned up takes it out of circuit making the amp equal to a normal 4 input perfect for cranking up into reactive load boxes .... to get full output stage distortion. The HIGH input adds another gain stage that together with the Master Volume lets you get all the way to California style crunch, at any level you desire for live playing.
The difference in this amp compared to my Perplex'd models - is -
1) The higher voltage applied to the output tubes and preamp, giving it a full 50 watts and different character. 2) The range the Bass and Depth controls can be pulled out for those players who never seem to get enough bass cut. You can still get the full fatness and thump of the Perplex'd series amps - just more 'cut' if desired. *3) The LV model drops the output stage voltage but keeps the preamp voltage the same keeping the character. It gets a bit of JTM45
vibe added.

XS III
The XSIII is an 85 watt beast. What makes it unique, besides the exclusive Mercury Magnetics output transformer, is the
TWO Gain controls on the Hi-Gain Channel. One is set up for Bright Crunch and the other for Fat Drive, allowing you to tailor the tightness and fullness, giving it wide flexibility. This amp can be smooth or agressive! The Clean/Grind channel can do just what it says - making a full bore cranked stack character or a sweet clean - your choice. Described this way - ''it's got some sponge ... not stiff or strident ... but at the same time super tight on the bottom end ... super open .. but compresses perfectly at the same time ... it is aggressive but also warm and sweet in the overdrive''.

GRINDER
This final version of the GRINDER has 2 independent Channels with 3 way Bright Switches.
Both the Clean and Grind channels are take from the famous Blackface era, with the distortion channel sporting 4 gain stages. Don't be fooled though - it still cleans up just as well as all Morris gain designs with your guitar volume.
The cleans are just as pretty as any 60's North American amp,
with the rectifier tube giving just the right amount of cushion.

MO-JO
The original Mo-Jo was a single channel, clear, simple hand wired amp that was designed specifically for Joe Perry of Aerosmith. It is loud and was pushing a Marshall(tm) 8×10 cab on its first tour and then 4×12 cabs for the second leg and 3 world tours. So it is at home with 10s or 12s and is specifically geared towards Greenbacks.
Model is true point to point wired.
The MAC (Master Attenuation Circuit) was put in to tame the volume this amp can achieve, allowing you to get the same richness at much more controllable levels. Unlike using an outboard attenuator the MAC does not introduce any grit or un-natural colouration to the original sound. This amp can be a great pedal format, taking overdrives and fuzzes equally well, or can be set up highly overdriven itself and cleaned up exceptionally well with your guitar volume.
* Please note - this amp is not designed for an FX Loop as it will take away from the purity of the amp *

DISMORRTION
This Pedal is designed to go in front of your amp and capture my Perplex'd style amps distortion character. Although it can be used for a lot of other timbres of gain styles. It is one of the most 'organic' / open distortion pedals you have ever heard. The RAW and EDGE controls give it a lot of versatility. Completely hand wired with the same voltages as my amps it really is basically a complete MORRIS preamp tailored to work in front of your amp.Sets up nicely to use it as your complete sound all night, using guitar volume for cleans ! This pedal sounds like an AMP not a pedal, with all the sensitivity of the same.
- SPECS Dismorrtion - $599 USD
- Runs off 12VAC/1A adaptor (included)
- hand wired and true bypass
