Customer comments:

Wallace Stull – Demeter TGA-3, filter capacitor servicing

I can’t thank you enough for your help with my amps! You obviously love a challenge to take on an amp with no schematic and minimal related information. I appreciate that you took them on in the first place and, most importantly, how great they sounded when you got back to me!

A referral is the highest compliment I can pay to someone. It’s important that you know that I refer everyone I know to you! Thanks for taking care of me!

Barak Weinstein – Fender Silverface Bassman, filter capacitor servicing

After speaking with a half dozen amp techs in the Bay Area, I'm glad I chose you and your shop. It was a pleasure dealing with you beforehand and during the service. Your answers to my questions were a helpful introduction to electrical engineering. Thanks again for your good work on my Silverface Bassman. I really enjoy playing my "new" amp.

Rod Chatfield – Mesa/Boogie Studio 22, intermittent ghost note

Wanted to say thanks for the great work that you have done on my amps. This last amp (Mesa Studio 22) was given to me by a friend because the folks that he took it to for repair could not (or did not what to take the time to) fix it. He was told, “That is just the way it is.” I have an amp collection and my friend told me to add it to the collection. It has set for several years with its ghost note issues un-played. Brought the Studio 22 into you and you not only found and fixed the problem, but the repair cost was very reasonable. Thanks for the expertise, quality and integrity of the way you do business. I’ll be back.
