Breathing life back into the finest tube amplifiers ever made.
From tweed Fenders to screaming Marshalls — restored to sing again.
David has spent decades chasing tone — disassembling, diagnosing, and resurrecting the vintage tube amplifiers that defined rock and roll. What started as a passion for the gear his grampy played has become a life's work restoring classics for players and collectors across the country.
Every amp that comes through the shop is treated with the reverence it deserves. Original components are preserved wherever possible. Transformers are rebuilt. Cabinets refinished. And when it's done, it sounds better than the day it left the factory.
Complete recap, new filter caps, rebiased output tubes, speaker recone. Original blackface tone fully restored. This one sings like the day Jimi plugged in.
Rewired input board, replaced all electrolytic caps, fitted with matched Mullard EL34s. Tone stack calibrated for maximum crunch.
Rare original top-boost circuit fully serviced. Replaced Brimars with NOS Mullard ECC83s. Cabinet re-covered in original black Tolex.
The amp Jimmy Page used on the first four Zeppelin records. Full component restoration, original Jensen speaker serviced. Screams.
The SVT that shook Woodstock. Full recap, new 6146B power tubes, plate voltage adjusted. More thump than physics should allow.
Whether it's a sick amp that needs diagnosing or a museum piece that deserves full restoration — David treats every amp with the same obsessive care.
Complete recapping, transformer inspection, tube replacement, bias adjustment, and cosmetic restoration. Your amp, reborn from the ground up.
