What are your hours?

What type of gear do you service other than tube guitar amplifiers?

We only work on tube guitar and bass amplifiers. We specialize in vintage and vintage reproductions.

I see you have pick up service, will you pick up if I'm more than 15 miles away?

We are located in North Raleigh and only offer pickup service to Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Morrisville, RTP areas with a $10 per trip fee.

Are there tube amps you don't work on?

While we provide service and basic repairs on most tube guitar and bass amps, we don't provide complex repair services for modern channel switching amps or imported amps with fragile or poorly designed printed circuit boards (PCBs). We are happy to assess your amp and provide guidance. We never charge if we don't accept the repair.

How did you learn to fix amplifiers?

As a guitar player since the early 80's, I became obsessed with tube amps and understanding where amazing guitar tone comes from. I initially learned to work on amps out of a combination of necessity and constantly tweaking to get a better sound. After graduating from college, I left the band behind for a corporate job but never quit obsessing about amps. I continued to build my knowledge and started refurbishing a few old amps, building kits, and eventually building custom amps by replacing fried PCBs with vintage-inspired hand wired circuits. After 30+ years in the corporate world, I decided to take a slower path and go back to what I enjoy, helping those that make music sound even better.
