Our Services

HardWay specializes in the restoration and repair of vintage vacuum tube amplifiers. HardWay does restoration, repair, and custom work on guitar electronics.

I build custom guitar amplifiers and custom effects and devices.

RESTORATION

I can restore your tube amplifier to “like-new” condition and appearance. I have experience with almost all of the classic tube amps of the 1950s through 1990s (and newer). I show great attention to detail and am meticulous in duplicating original circuitry.

REPAIR

Most of my work is repair of classic tube amplifiers. I have seen most of the problems that these amplifiers experience over their lifetimes. I have excellent trouble-shooting skills. I have yet to find a problem that wasn’t solvable.

MODIFICATION

I can perform any of numerous modifications to personalize your amplifier or guitar, and achieve a tone that is uniquely yours.

PROJECTS

An amplifier build from the ground up to meet your specifications is a wonderful thing. Talk to me about what you want your amp to do and sound like. We can develop and build a unique amplifier to meet your needs.

CONSULTING

I am always happy to talk about vintage electronics and guitars and amps. If you need extensive help with a project or a problem, I charge $25 / hour consulting time.
