What I Do
AMPLIFIED electronics specializes in tube and solid state guitar and
bass amps, providing repairs, tune-ups, re-tubing, and restorations.
Another passion is guitar pedals, because I know that nothing is
as satisfying as matching a great amp with killer effects.
I also repair:
• power amps like US-made QSC, Yorkville, Bryston, Japanese-made
Yamaha, UK-made HH
• powered monitors like Mackie SRM450's (NOT V2 or V3), Yorkville,
US-made JBL Eons
• studio monitors like US-made Mackie, Genelecs, Tannoys
• mixers like US-made Mackie, Japanese-made Yamaha, MIDAS
• effects processors that are Japanese-, US-, UK-, or German-made.
I think you get the picture: I will gladly repair anything that was built
to be repaired.
What I DON'T Do
I DON'T work on gear designed to fail the day after the warranty
expires.
I DON'T accept shipped items at this time, only items walked into
the shop.
I DON'T repair synths, DJ gear, guitars, or passive speakers.
For those, I recommend:
• Synth repairs: Nightlife
Electronics
• DJ gear repairs: Nightlife
Electronics
• (Passive) speaker repairs: Vancouver
Audio Speaker Clinic
I am not doing any manufacturer's warranty work at this time.
Feel free to contact me to ask about repairs to your
gear.

About
I love the work I do. I've been fascinated by electricity ever since getting
a brain-rattling shock when I stuck my finger in a Christmas tree light
socket when I was seven years old. I took apart the family TV at eleven,
and built my first AM radio at twelve.
When I was thirteen, the second piece of the puzzle fell into place. My
buddy's older brother, a DJ, had an INCREDIBLE stereo, and he played me
a record that forever changed my life. After hearing the first minute of
Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, I knew I wanted to combine my passions
for electronics and music.
Since then, I've worked as engineer and technician at studios in Toronto
and Vancouver, and done quality control for an amp manufacturer. More "recently",
I ran the service department at Backline Musician Services for almost 20
years, and did over 35,000 repairs.
At Backline, I found myself repairing too much low-end gear, and too little
of what I really enjoy repairing. With AMPLIFIED electronics, I'm focusing
on the gear I love: guitar amps, bass amps, pedals, power amps, and well-made
mixers and processors.
I look forward to hearing from you, and to taking care of the gear you
love.
