What we stand for
"Amps Ready to Gig"
At the heart of everything we do is one simple promise: every vintage amp that leaves our shop is ready to gig. This isn't just a tagline—it's our commitment to delivering instruments that perform when it matters most.
1. Giggable Amps, Not Museum Pieces
We believe vintage amps should be played, not displayed. While we respect the collector's market, our focus is on musicians who need reliable, professional-grade instruments. Every amp we sell has been thoroughly tested and prepared for the stage, studio, and rehearsal room.
You're not buying a collector's item that you're afraid to turn up—you're investing in a working instrument that's built to perform night after night.
2. Try Before You Buy, No Pressure
Great tone is personal. That's why we encourage you to come and try our amps by appointment. Take your time, bring your guitar, and discover which amp speaks to you. No sales pressure, no rush—just you, your instrument, and the pure sound of vintage tube amplification.
We know that choosing the right amp is a significant decision, and we want you to be completely confident in your choice.
3. Three Months Peace of Mind
Every amp comes with our three-month guarantee. We stand behind our work because we know the quality of our restorations and the reliability of properly maintained vintage gear. This guarantee gives you the confidence to take your amp straight from our shop to your next gig.
4. Complete Transparency with Documentation
Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to vintage gear. Every amp includes a detailed certificate documenting our service work—what's original, what's been replaced, and what maintenance has been performed.
This documentation serves multiple purposes:
- You know exactly what you're buying
- Future technicians understand the amp's history
- The amp's provenance and authenticity are preserved
- Resale value is maintained through proper documentation
5. Real Talk About Tube Amp Ownership
Here's something many dealers won't tell you upfront: tube amplifiers wear out and require maintenance. This isn't a flaw—it's the nature of analog electronics with tubes, capacitors, and other components that age over time.
We believe in honest communication about what vintage amp ownership entails. Regular maintenance isn't a bug—it's a feature of owning a living, breathing instrument that rewards proper care with decades of incredible tone.
Our Commitment to You
When you buy from us, you're not just purchasing an amp—you're joining a community of players who understand that vintage tube amps represent the pinnacle of analog amplification. We're here to support your musical journey with honest advice, quality service, and instruments that are truly ready to perform.
Because at the end of the day, the best vintage amp is the one that's being played.
