Hello there kind people, I am looking for a good and reputable amp tech in or around Swansea, to take my Trace Elliot V8 for a thorough test and maintenance exercise!

It would be great to get someone you trust and respect, local if possible at all!

thanks so much in advance!

Matamp.

My Ibanez Promethean practice amp had an input stage problem - @Taylor beach-blues

recommended Matamp in Meltham, West Yorkshire.

Fixed then and there by Jeff in the wonderful Aladdins Cave that is the Matamp workshop.

Highly recommended & thanks again to Taylor BB 👍

Really glad you got it sorted teebs, that’s cool 👍

I’m looking for an amp repair and service- I’m based in Worcester. Anyone know if Steve at Musical Electronic Repairs in Brum is still operational? The first post is pretty old now. 
Are there any other recommendations from West Mids players? I found Worcester Amps in Evesham by searching online but would rather a recommendation.

Can anyone recommend an amp tech in the South West generally? Bristol, Swindon, Bath, Taunton, Exeter, etc

I trade as Hurstbatch Services, based in Wookey Hole, repairing all types of music gear. I'm happy to discuss any specific requirements.

Anyone got any recommendations for a amp tech Birmingham/Black Country or Worcestershire way? 
 

I’ve got a Laney B1 head that I love but it seems there’s a power amp problem. When I run into an external power amp she sounds delightful. 

 

Really want to save this amp

What this thread needs is a directory. Youse jokers should have a better idea than me of how to divvy up the UK so recommended techs can be found in a search of the driveable regions from the unfortunate with the smoked amp. County by County? Police Districts?

 

That would be a lot more useful than a whole lot of plaintive cries for help from every corner that mostly remain unanswered.

You are probably sorted now but M J Still in Lancing have a good reputation - been a while since I used him but he sorted an Orange Valve head for a very reasonable price.

I'm an engineer based in Wells, trading as Hurstbatch Services . I will work on anything that is not surface mount (I don't have the gear or the eyesight for that!). I've repaired many valve amps, solid state as well as bass wiring and speakers and keyboards - in other words I'll have a go at most things!
