The Recording Club
Platinum Membership · Prepared for Morgan Amplification

Joe left the GPS program to build amps by hand.
We built a whole club on that idea.

Joe Morgan was on the engineering team that developed the first GPS satellites, and he has been building, modifying and repairing amplifiers since 1996. His premise never moved: an amp is judged by how it answers a player's hands at real volume, not by how it measures on a bench. The Recording Club runs on the same belief: gear belongs in rooms, in sessions, in hands. Platinum puts Morgan Amplification inside the building, and the four doors below are already built and live. Click anything.

The Morgan Amplification build

Your demo floor is somebody else’s paid session

Morgan's reputation was made by working LA and Nashville players, and those are the people who book our rooms. An amp in the backline gets played on the clock, not on a trade-show floor. Four things Platinum builds for Morgan, all included in the membership.

In the rooms

A Morgan in the backline

A Morgan AC or Dual 20 lives in the backline of our main tracking room. The LA session players who already define Morgan's reputation reach for it on paid work, in a room with a house engineer running tape. Every session is a demo, and every record made through it is your amp on somebody's record.

Featured, then followed up

The amp gets featured on the floor, and we print a Morgan look book to live in the building: the badge, the tolexes, the range, the players. When a guitarist finishes a session and asks what that combo was, staff hand them the book and send them to you.

The Morgan owners app concept, four phone screens
Built in-house

A Morgan owners app

Owners register an amp by photographing the serial plate, the bench publishes what it just finished, all 52 roster rigs go searchable, and settings captured on real sessions load onto your own amp. The screen-by-screen vision is live on the app board. We shipped the same app for Darryl Jones's bass owners, so yours is a build, not a promise.

On the stage

A home base in Santa Monica

A Google Maps pin at the club's address, your endorsers hosted for sessions in our rooms, artist content shot on the 5-camera stage. A short drive from the bench, Morgan works out of the club like it's your Westside office.

The list is not fixed. Platinum means the club's design and engineering team works for Morgan Amplification. Sites and apps are designed and built at no cost, then maintained at $70 an hour, half our public rate. You back every amp with a limited lifetime warranty. Tell us what you need and we hold the build to the same.

The vision · live and clickable

A vision for the new morganamps.com

This is what Platinum's build team sees for Morgan's web presence, built as a working concept from your own catalogue: 36 pages, all 22 models, all 52 players, live right now. Click anything below and walk through it.

Proof

We already did this for the Rolling Stones’ bassist

Darryl Jones, bassist for the Rolling Stones, joined Platinum. The club rebuilt his company's website, shipped an iPhone app for the players who own his basses, and designed the wall where his basses will sell in the building. All of it included in his membership. Read the full case study.

The club itself

And the studio is still the studio

Everything above sits on top of the core of Platinum: the best rooms in the building, whenever you want them. See them all at therecording.club/studios.
