Looks like he hand wires his amps…
Very cool.

If you think you might dig that UK68, just a heads up that Glen is coming out with a 50 watt version (UK 67) that sounds pretty stunning and would probably run you a little bit less than the UK68. I was at his shop yesterday, and he had just finished the final tweaks on it.

And in case the photo someone posted earlier created some confusion, the photo below is of a recently completed Morris British Jr. Plus and is more representative of the work that Glen does.

Unusual build. The preamp is PTP without a board, and there is a PCB with a empty socket. Someone know what is that for?

Yes, totally! Sounds/feels better in person!!

That's awesome, I know you were kicking the tires for awhile......I guess if people want 68 tone but need a loop this amp should be on their radar.

Absolutely. I also have a 100 watt Metroplex MKII inbound!! Similar to the UK68.

Once the Metro arrives, I’m offloading a bunch of my amps. Between the UK68 and Metro, I should be all set.

If anyone is interested in a Friedman Smallbox or BE100 (with 1st channel modded to plexi by Dave F.) messsge me. I have a number of other plexi type amps I’m looking to sell.

It will be interesting how the Metroplex and UK68 compare to one another......Congrats on the Metroplex MKII acquistition...I've heard nothing but good things about the MKII since it's release.

I’d be interested to hear that comparison. I have a Metroplex Mk II on order as well.

You were an inspiration--been looking at this amp on Reverb local for months: #1 Morris Muscle '69/70. You looked so happy I was jealous lol. Cool guy, I'm sure he's a member here. Already bought a Colby from him. Love that guy!

Oh man I’m foaming at the mouth!!

The UK68 is so damn good, and while it is definitely plexi/brown sound territory, it has it’s own distinct thing going on. Glen really is on some next level shit.

Can’t wait to give the Metro a spin?

Congrats !! Looks killer too.....

Sounds really really sweet...........................nice gain/bite and plexi clank...doesn't get much better than that in the land of plexis!

Sounds great and great playing! Got a couple outdoor festival things coming up--so hard to get sound right but no issue for you guys
