Vintage Tube Amp Repair and Restoration   Click on any thumbnail to view a larger image. I have helped hundreds of musicians get the sound they are looking for by taking an individual approach to each amp and its owner. There is no "ultimate" tube or amp modification, no part that "absolutely" must be replaced. Instead, it's more important to know how the amp will be used and to maximize its potential for the owner.   One of the most important tools I have is not a tube-tester or an oscilloscope, but rather the opinions and feedback of my customers. I am fortunate to have rebuilt quite a few amps for Little Charlie and the Nightcats, one of the most widely-traveled (and best!) blues and swing bands in the country. Night after night, their amps are cranked up, and day after day, they travel in the van to the next gig. I am proud to say that except for an occasional tube replacement, these amps have been operating flawlessly for ten years. So, if I say that a particular tube or speaker is reliable, or a blues harp microphone will sound great through an amp I built, it is not because I read about it in a magazine or on the internet, but because my customers have proven it. I have also benefited from the wide-ranging needs and interests of my customers. I have built or serviced amps for blues harp, steel guitar, jazz guitar, country and heavy metal. I have done work for recording studios, touring bands, vintage dealers, collectors and at-home enthusiasts. I hope that this experience will mean that no matter what your interests are, I will know what you are talking about and can help you get the sound that you are looking for.
