What people are saying about our repairs:
1) This customer brought in a Ceriatone amp that had been built. It had some problems.
"Rich, it's running awesome. All the switches are working great and the tonal changes with each one are all great and useable. Before, certain positions just didn't sound good whereas now I can see myself using each setting.
In general, the rewire really brought the body into the amp, and it really thumps now, and it makes the amps bite really palatable. Having total mid and bass control in each setting now is amazing.
As far a noise goes, yeah I mean there's still a bit of that, but it's only noticeable when it's just me in a room. Friday night after picking it up I brought it to jam with my band and in the band setting the noise is non-existant.
Also as soon as I plugged it in the drummer commented on how good it sounded - his head shot up while setting up and said "woah that sounds awesome!". He doesn't even have an ear for this type of thing so if it's jumping out to him that it sounds great it really must be good (Y).
Now the work can begin to really dial this thing in .
So in the end I'm really satisfied with the work you've done, thanks a lot Rich.
Cheers! Adam"

2) This customer had a Mark Bass amp he bought that was broken already. We replaced the board and addressed several preamp issues.
"Hey Rich, Just wanted to let you know the amp was flawless all weekend. Did 3 shows and not a single issue. Thanks again for your great work! Nathan"

3) This customer owns a VOX AC30 and a VOX AC15, that he uses in a U2 tribute.
"Rich. The AC15 Bass control is fixed. Sounds excellent now.
The AC30; not sure what you did but massive output increase. More than it has ever had. I am going to have to re learn my amp settings it is so powerful
Back to shaking things off the shelves. Dave"

4) This customer bought a 1964 Twin Reverb that had been put into a different cabinet. This was an interesting amp to get going.

Thanks again for restoring it!! Kyle."

5) This customer brought in a nice 1956 Fender Vibrolux for an overhaul. It, infortunately, had the speaker replaced many yeasrs ago, and the customer installed a new Jensen. This speakers actually suited the amp perfectly. This is a great sounding amp.
"Well done Rich. You've brought this amplifier back to life and it's never sounded better. The vibrato is deep and rich and the amp "sound" just sparkles. Up til now it was just a ho-hum amp but now it reaches out and blows you over. I remember when my Buddies Dad bought this amp brand new but was too young to appreciate what this amp could do. When it finally came into my possession the the amp was tired and worn out. Now it's an amazing amplifier. Thanks for a great job and the price was half of what I expected. Bonus."
