Ampworks Guitar Amp Repair

I recently came across some old vintage valves of my late fathers hifi collection. I contacted Rowan at Ampworks and he was able to test all of them and give me a very detailed list of the results. This was done quickly and at a very reasonable price.

I recently asked Keld Ampworks for advice on a modification to my Orange Tiny Terror. A very quick reply to my enquiry from Rowan was received in which he honestly stated that, at present his order books were full. Rowan did however offer to look at the modification to see if it was worthwhile. I accepted the offer and expected a straight forward "yes" or "no" at some point. What I got ( within the day) was a thorough, point by point assessment of each aspect of the mod, the technical theory behind each aspect would or would not make any difference and a fair and non judgemental opinion on each. It's always a indication that someone really knows what they are talking about when they can summarise complex information in a single, easy to understand sentence. Rowan does this and it really help me to understand how my amp works. And all this was done without charge which I think amply demonstrates the passion Rowan has for his work. Would I recommend Keld Ampworks? Unreservedly. It's very clear that Rowan has an incredible knowledge of electronics and the circuit design of amps. It's also clear that he cares about his customers too. Having used a number of repair shops around the country I have never experienced service like this. Now I've found Keld Ampworks I can honestly say I'd sooner wait in line for however long than go somewhere else.Moreexpand_more

I had problems with my Marshall dsl 100 blowing fuses and a reputable guitar store returned my amp having found no faults but still charged £70. When my amp blew another fuse I was a little wary of handing it over to another repair specialist but was given some confidence by the friendly but professional manner of Ampworks phone manner. I handed over my amp and after a thorough chat regarding symptoms I felt confident in leaving my Marshall in the hands of someone who showed a genuine interest in actually fixing my amp. I received an e mail from Ampworks telling me exactly what diagnostic testing was to be carried out and assured of costs from the offset. Once the fault was found I was quoted the full costing inc parts and labour and asked if I wanted to go ahead with the repairs. Valve amps are notorious for being tricky to diagnose and costs can escalate quickly in the wrong hands. Ampworks is a one man show but you will receive an honest, friendly and professional service and not be given false promises. In my case the final costs were a pleasant surprise and exactly as quoted. I now have a fully functional Amp again and would recommend Ampworks to anyone who have problems with their guitar amplification.Moreexpand_more
