Revamp Amplifier Service

awesome service. Integrity in the pricing. Gave me a great deal and and actually went down on the price when I showed up. Definitely coming back

I have been to Andy at Revamp to work on four of my favorite guitar amps, and I am a customer for life. I spent a long time researching amp shops in LA before going to Revamp the first time. There are many reasons why they are the only shop I’ll use.
1) They are honest and won’t charge you for parts or service you don’t need
2) They will call you and let you know all the different options you have for your repair
3) They are open on Saturday — a must for super busy «9 to 5» people like me who do music on the side
4) They are straight shooters that will take the time to explain and answer any questions you may have about gear
5) The turnaround time is very good. Andy had to order some rare parts for a ’87 Randall RG I brought in that needed some good TLC and he was still able to get the amp going in a reasonable timeframe.
6) They stand by their work and give you a warranty period after you pick your amp up. I never had to use it — all my amps were in top-​notch working order after making a stay with Dr. Andy
I am very skeptical of music repair shops after having a bad experience some years back when a big music repair firm in LA screwed up one of my beloved BC Rich guitars after holding it for two months.
So I do not mince my words when I say, you have got to check out Revamp if you are looking for the best amp shop in the LA/​Hollywood area. I would not take my gear anywhere else and I sound better than ever now thanks to them.

Hands down, the best amp repair man/​company I’ve used. Very professional, knowledgeable and timely.

Bought a vintage Silverface Vibrolux that had some microphonic tubes. Took it to Andy for some clean up and maintenance. He took it in and changed a variety of parts, and the amp is sounding incredible.
Very knowledgeable and quick turnaround. He explained what the amp needed and why, and he knows what he’s talking about. Highly recommended.
Took my Vox AC15CC1 to him soon after for a speaker change and minor mods. I was surprised how quickly he got it done. Very fair prices.

Andy brought my magnatone m10 back to life when everyone else in the valley wouldn’t even touch it. After 10+ years of getting amps repaired, Andy seems to care more about what I care about in vintage equipment and he talks with you, not at you. It’s sort of a big deal.

These guys are the Best. Had a problem with my Peavey ValveKing the guys fixed it in the time they said it would be done. Andy is the BIZZ. Seriously don’t waist your time elsewhere.

Andy has worked on at least 3 or 4 of my amps. Each time he’s fixed whatever issue I’ve had within his bench fee. I’ve been to others in LA and the Valley and can tell you that Andy bests them by a long shot.

Great Place.
As someone who has been around the L.A. music scene forever, it is truly refreshing to find a place where the people are nice, they get things done fairly quickly, and their prices are very reasonable.
You need your amp repaired, bring it to Revamp !!!
Recommended.

What do you know, another 5 star review.
Andy got my 65 Silvertone Twin working good as new at an extremely fair rate. Will not be going anywhere else as long as I’m in LA. Super friendly guy who knows what you want.
Highly recommend. He also has a bunch of cool gear for sale if you’ve got the cash.

Had a great experience with Andy, from my first phone call all they way to picking up the amp. Very nice, professional guy. Had a small delay with my repair while he had to order a part, and he handled it gracefully and professionally — really appreciate that. Bringing my next repair here! Thanks!

shocker, another 5 star review.

Great work! Inexpensive, quick, and nice guys!
I had a different place look at my 1960s Alamo and the lead tech quoted me about $ 300 more than Andy and it took him 6 months to even give me the quote! I have my amp back after only a month with Revamp and it sounds great. The guys say they were pretty backed up or it wouldn’t have taken that long. Still a lot damn better than 6 months!
Me and the rest of the 5 stars here agree: this place is worth your consideration

Andy did a fantastic job fixing my amp, and it was really inexpensive. I definitely recommend Revamp, and will go back in the future.

I’ve been here 3 times now for different things and different amps. Each time has been an absolute pleasure.
The first time I went in was because my amp suddenly stopped working at rehearsal. I panicked and brought it in the next day telling Andy that I had a show that weekend. Not only did he get it done in plenty of time, the price was so reasonable, I thought he made a mistake at first.
The other two times were just for retubing and each time he patiently listened to me rant about the type of tones I was trying to get out of the amp and made spot-​on suggestions. Each one took less time than his estimate and I could not be happier with the work.
I’m gonna start busting my amps up just so I can come pick his brain with all my inane questions.

Andy did great work on all 3 of my Bogen amps. He essentially modified two of them and cleaned all of them up. He did a great job of pinpointing whatever issues they each had and brought them up to perfect working order. Bogen amps are really tube receiver amps that can be modified into guitar or bass amps. He even had a schematic for them — impressive. I liked that he would point out fixes needed and never felt like he was trying to upsell me as some other amp guys can do.
He’s also a pretty easy going personality, an appealing aspect for an amp builder/​fixer/​modifier to have. Musicians can be fickle personalities themselves so to have a calm persona working on your amps helps to keep a musician.
I would highly recommend Andy and I felt completely safe with him working on 3 of my amps.

Andy is no joke. I took my amp to another highly regarded tech and they charged me 100 for nothing. Andy actually cared and walked me thru my problem and figured out what was bothering me together. It was brilliant.
Fairly priced as well.

Andy is great and knows his stuff. He’d be a dream to have on the road as an amp/​guitar tech. I brought in my ’68 fender pro reverb that all of the sudden stopped working. He had it done when he said he would, didn’t charge a «bench» fee like some places do and the work was done for a super fair price. Will definitely be going back to him in the future.

Andy is awesome. Been taking pedal boards and amps to him since I moved to Hollywood from Detroit. Last time I stopped in to have my JCM 800 worked on Ethan from Green and Wood was working there too.
Revamp is very reliable and reasonably priced. I’ve even stopped by and gotten some skrews for my boss pedals when they fell out of the back of the pedal.

This shop was highly recommended to me by a friend. My buddy had taken a few of his vintage tube amps to this place for repairs and said that Andy does really great work and is very affordable. Good enough for me. Figured I’d take my busted amp to him.
I had a 100 Watt Marshall DSL 2000 that wasn’t working and had been sitting in my room for about 4 years. I drove out to Hollywood and dropped it off. Andy seemed like a really cool and honest guy. He had a few ideas about what the problem might be. He knew a lot about this amp and said that there are some common things that go wrong with them. He said it would be about a week because he was a little backed up with work. His shop was FULL of amps. To me this was proof that he’s everyone’s go-​to-​guy for amp repair. The wait wasn’t an issue for me (a week is nothing at all, honestly. I’ve heard of shops in the valley that make you wait months and still don’t fix your amp after charging you an arm and a leg!).
Sure enough, a week later my amp was ready. It was something simple like he figured. He re-​soldered and few things here and there on the output board and had the Marshall working like new. He also cleaned it up for me and he didn’t charge me much at all. I highly recommend this shop. Andy is your man. He’s very knowledgeable, up front and honest, and he does things right.

Andy is such a great guy. I brought my Bassman in just to have a broken power switch replaced, and it came back looking brand new. He even took it upon himself to clean all the pots and tubes and certified that the amp was all original! Totally fare rates, top notch work, all around great and honest guy who will give you valuable insight into your amp. What some other review said — you’re throwing away money if you take your amp somewhere else and pay more. Andy also does Rhodes and Wurlitzer repair, so I’m planning on taking my Rhodes in for a tuneup soon.
Again — great dude, great work.
