Amp Techs
As with the guitar-tech sticky thread, any chance of an amp-tech sticky thread moderators?
this is a good idea. Couple in Devon for starters
Amp-Fix (John Beer) Cullompton, Devon - www.amp-fix.com very helpfuil and knowledgeable guy, also very busy!
Orchid Eleccronics (John Godsland) Exeter, Devon. www.orchid-electronics.co.uk makes DI boxes and other pro audio equipment but also services and repairs valve gear. Again very helpful guy
Guitars: Signature STR-1 Custom, Grassroots (ESP) LP, Pearl MIJ LP, Tanglewood TSB58-gt, Black Dove Tele. Amps: Carlsbro TC100, TC75 & 50 top, Trainwreck express clone, Hayden Speakeasy 8-28
Would have been much more sensible to make this thread a sticky.
This lot is snipped from the first post but there are others further down the thread.

John Chambers - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

Used him twice, very good, not expensive but always has a lot of work on so may be difficult if you need a very fast fix, he is very accomodating though so call anyway.

Bluebell Audio - Dundee / East Scotland

His work is good, fault diagnosis, repair etc. Particularly with valve amps, although has also repaired a couple of pedals for me too. Reasonably priced too. Also has a good stock of valves/spares/components. Will source unusual/obsolete parts for vintage gear if he's repairing. Tends to be busy, so don't expect repairs done while you wait!
