Repair and modification

Fearsome Sound specializes in the repair and modification of vintage, vacuum tube musical instrument amplifiers.

If you own a vintage vacuum tube amplifier, chances are good that it has some value as a collectable. The value and much of the charm of these devices lies in the original components and circuit design. Any service provider must take care to protect this inherent value. Rabid replacement of parts is counter-productive.

Some modifications have been proven to enhance the reliability and performance of vintage circuits. For example, carefully introducing a three-prong ac cord to a vintage amp can reduce noise and improve reliability and safety. Other modifications can simply ruin your tone in addition to depleting the value of your prize possession. If you have a modification in mind, or simply want to discuss possibilities, please feel free to contact us.
