Tube Amp Biasing, Mods, And Minor Repairs

 

    You just bought a new set of matched power tubes and your amp still sounds like crap?

The reason is, every time you replace power tubes you have to set the bias your amp. This gives it all the punch, crunch and natural compression you're after!

  • We bias most major tube amps: Ampeg, Fender, Hiwatt, Marshall, Peavey, Vox, and more, using the “Groove Tube Bias Probe Method.”  It's fast, accurate and inexpensive. You will love the tone and playability! We do!

  • All tube brands: Groove Tubes, Sovtek, Mesa Boogie, Fender, Ruby, Road, GE, Sylvania, RCA, you name it!

  • We can retrofit fixed, balanced, and self biasing amps with adjustable circuits for the perfect bias setting.

  • Marshall 6550 to EL-34 conversions.

  • Control and contact cleaning.

  • Plug and jack replacement.

  • Power Capacitor replacement (depending on availability).

  • Instrument, Mic, and Speaker cable fabrication and repair.

  • Located in San Diego, Calif.

  • Low Rates. A simple bias set is only $15.00 !!!
