About Harp Amp Service and Repair

One-off modifications so that your sound becomes what you want, not an off-the-shelf sound.
Personalized amp modifications start at $120, parts included.

Harmonica is spoken here. If you want your volume control to live where the tone is, you need to come see me. All the buzz about lower gain tubes is a half step. To start with, you need the tubes with the killer tone - that means going back to 12AX7's where there are tonal choices. Thats a mad good start. Then we have to go in your amp and set the gain structure up to make the amp a harp amp. No chicken shit cookie cutter crap. Your amp, exactly the way you want it. Tone controls that are useable for harp. I know what to do. I will blow your mind. And yes, if you have a boutique tube amp you are still only half way there. Bring it in and I will work it so your hair stands up. Bring a harp and a mic too. Make your guitar player envy your tone!

I have modified Harp Gear amps. My mods make the value of the amps go up, not down. In fact, in the case of the HG50, it went from 1200 to 1950 + Shipping and Export duties.

I can dial in Jerry McCain "Steady" tone, or ANY OTHER.
