Amplifier Repair
Pittsburgh Guitars offers a complete musical instrument amplifier repair service for most major brands such as Ampeg, Fender, Marshall, Vox Amplification and many others. We also service all the amps we sell.
Technician John Wagner has over 25 years of experience in amp repairs and has been with Pittsburgh Guitars since 1997.
A musician himself, John understands not only how an amplifier works but how it should sound. With a commitment to customer satisfaction, no work will be done without direct authorization from the customer, and all completed work carries a full 30-day parts & labor warranty.
Common amplifier services include:
- Complete & thorough circuit diagnostics
- Tube & Solid-State Technologies
- Part of the Mercury Magnetics™ Service & Support Network* for transformer upgrades
- Authorized Warranty Repair Center for Vox Amplification
We will ask for a bench charge deposit of $69.95 when you drop off your amplifier. That fee is applicable to any repairs made, but covers diagnostic time in the event that you decide not to go forward with repairs.
