Amp Repairs

Our superbly equipped, state-of-the-art lab has been designed to provide a full diagnostic, repair and restoration service for vintage and modern guitar, bass and keyboard amplifiers, HiFi, PA and pro-audio equipment. We have vast experience of working on both valve and solid-state audio equipment.

We are located in Wallsend, North Tyneside, approximately 5 miles from Newcastle city centre, Gateshead and The Sage. We are conveniently situated for much of North East England, including Tyne and Wear, Teesside, County Durham and Northumberland.

Services offered include full valve-testing and matching, a complete fault finding and repair service, electrical safety testing and certification, and where necessary or desirable, amplifier upgrading to meet current safety standards. This is increasingly required by performance venues before they will allow musicians to plug in and hook up on stage.

All work carried out is guaranteed for 3 months under normal usage, however we can not guarantee that another unrelated fault will not develop during that time.

Our Standard Valve Amplifier Service includes cleaning of all pots, valve bases and connectors, re-soldering dry joints, testing of all output valves and any preventative maintenance required as well as output power and PAT testing and certification.

Our fully equipped tool-room and machine shop allow us to re-manufacture virtually any otherwise unobtainable parts.

We have extensive experience with many makes of amplifier including: Ampeg, Ashdown, Audiolabs, Award Session Sessionette, Behringer, Bogner, Bugera, Burman, Burns, Carlsbro, Celestion, Cornell, Cornford, DB Technologies, Dynatron, Electro-Harmonix, Engl, Fatman i-dock, Fender, Ferrograph, Fryette, Gallien and Krueger, Heathkit, HH, Hughes and Kettner, KEF, Laney, Leak, Line 6, Linn, Marshall, Mesa-Boogie, Nakamichi, Orange, Peavey, Prosound, Quad, Rivera, Rogue, Roland, Roost, Selmer, Seymour Duncan, Sunn, Torque, Trace Elliot, Traynor, Urie, VHT, Vox, Watkins WEM, Yamaha and many more!
