Lowell worked on two of my Fender amps that hadn’t seen service in a few years. He recommended some mods that made my Twin Reverb RI sound better than it has since I bought it new, even going as far as putting some excellent vintage tubes in and helping me choose a replacement speaker for the one that had blown.On the second amp, he installed a grounded 3 prong plug after I had forgotten to mention that it would be needing one, and future proofed it for me.Can’t recommend Hunt Amplification enough.

Hunt Amplification did a great job on my old Fender PA-100. He went through the entire amp, fixed the reverb, stopped the distortion and crackling sound, and upgraded a couple of the inputs for better sound with guitar and bass. The work was done quickly and accurately. Here it is over a year later and the amp is still going strong. This quality of workmanship is difficult to find in this day and age. Im happy to have found them!

Not sure who specifically serviced my amp, but from what I gather the team at B&D and Hunt Amplification are AMAZING. I say this because my old man brought my amp there (after an attempted repair) and after a quick turnaround...came home and was amazed by the price, service and knowledge of these professionals. My old man is not an easy man to impress. Im also going to concur with the guy because the amp hasnt sounded better EVER which includes the day I bought this refurbished amplifier over 20/25 years ago. Brought a smile to my face! Best $50.00 spent EVER (thanks Dad)! Anywhere else probably would have cost hundreds, just because. Appreciate the honesty. Do yourself a favor, go here! Thank you Lowell and your team!

Lowell was great. Knew what I was talking about, what I needed, repair estimate was reasonably priced. Looks like everyone who recommended him knew what they were talking about.

Look, other reviews are right on the money. Lowell is a master of his craft. You think your amp sounds good now, wait till hes done with it. Your ears will bleed sweet nectar. There will be a sparkle rekindled in your soul, as if the guitar gods accepted another one of their own. Lowell is a busy man, and rightly so. So be sure to give him some leeway when it comes to getting your amp the care it deserves. You wont be sorry bringing your gear here.

I had an extremely pleasant experience with my amp repair at this shop. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and was eager to explain what he suspected the problem was and then detailed what he did to fix it. Very reasonable prices for high quality work. I will take everything I own to this place to get worked on in the future!

Mr. Hunt is soft-spoken but knows the answers; humble yet competent. Above all, he’s not only maybe the best for repairing your amp in the metropolitan area; he’s honest too. I thought my amp was ruined. Turns out it just needed a quick cleaning, and he got it sounding great again fast. After reading the other reviews, I’ll definitely come to him once my amp needs some real work done on it. He’s a pleasure to talk to, and I would definitely trust him with my amps.

Wow.. just wow.You have to go there to witness the well of knowledge and kind service. This place is packed with the best amps sitting in rows waiting for service and this means a lot. My Marshall is even better than it was when I got in new.

I was in a bind with valve replacement for my Blackstar Venue Series 100watt Stage head and like the quiet Delta Force he is, Hunt Amplification got me fixed right and quick. Thanks!

Did a great job on Mesa Boogie studio 22. Inexpensive. Lowell Hunt is also a very knowledgeable person who will take a few minutes of his time to explain you a few things if you have questions.

Review №18

Took my dads old Marshall JCM 800, that I am quite sentimental about, here after doing some research online, and Im really glad that I did. Hunt did a complete overhaul for the amp at my request, and plays as good as new now, when before the amp was just not getting as loud as before. Would highly recommend this shop.

Review №21

Was recommended to Hunt Amp from Glenn at Guitar Center in Scottsdale. I was looking for the best Marshall all Tube combo. I asked Lowell what to look for and he was more than happy to give me ideas. I now have a Marshall JCM 800 combo. It wasnt sounding right, low volume and noises. Lowell explained to me what he was going to do before repairing the amp and showed me what he was going to replace and why. A few days later I picked up the amp and played it that night and it was Wonderful, Loud and crunchy like a real Marshall should sound. Highly recommend Hunt Amplification. Go there!

I took my 1979 Marshall JMP in because it was cracking and popping at times (BTW I know nothing about electronics). Lowell said to give him a week and he would look at it and advise. After two follow up calls so he could find out more about what I play it was fixed. He did a great job. I played for five hours after getting it back yesterday and cannot believe how good it sounds now. I recommend Lowell and his service very highly. THANK YOU LOWELL!!!

Lowell is one of a few remaining true artists in his incredibly narrow field. He has unique skill few possess any more as he can quickly determine what needs to be done in making a good amp sound great. He took my vintage amp and within about 2 days, had it sounding incredible - just like I had always read it should! And his charges are incredibly fair, too. Highly recommended!

Review №26

A friend of a friend of a friend told me about this place when I asked where I should get my app worked on. Its a bit out of the way north of Phoenix in an industrial park however very knowledgeable staff and from how they treated me very honest. The potential of me being ripped off based on the repairs was very high but I was told it would not be worth it my time or money to have the amp fixed it would be cheaper to buy a new or used one. I appreciate that very much.

Incredible guy and immaculate service. Had my amps worked on with him several times and his services are very inexpensive! Timely, knowledgeable and courteous, Id take it as a personal insult upon my family if anyone went anywhere else other than here for their amp repairs.

Lowell is as good as it gets…very professional, very proficient and a really nice guy. I had a vintage amp with several quirky issues and somehow he managed to sort the whole thing out while I watched. Now my amp sounds as good new. Im very, very pleased and highly recommend him.

Brought my Fender Twin in for maintenance and checkup. Ended up getting one of the mods he recommended and m amp came back sounding great. I was worried I would annoy the guy with all my dumbass questions but I ended up calling him several times before hand and he always seemed happy to explain stuff and drop knowledge. Overall great experience just like I had with billy a while back on my guitar. Shop has an old school vibe to it and they seem to actually care about their work. Worth the hour drive for me.

Lowell at Hunt Amplification fixed my Friedman BE100 that was damaged during shipment and I couldnt be happier. He replaced (4) EL34 Power Tubes with originals, burned them in, and rebiased it for me. Sounds amazing! Awesome service and highly recommended amp repair shop! Thanks again!!!

I have had nothing but the best service from Lowell. I would bring him amp kit builds from Mojotone that I would have 99% correct and he would find that 1% that was driving me up the wall. I apprecaite his time, skills and excellent customer service. Dont hesistate to bring your amp in to the best in the city.

Review №43

Professional and unparalleled repair services. My Blackstar HT Club 40 amp had a terrible humming problem. Called HA up and Lowell knew exactly what the problem was. Turns out I needed some power tubes replaced. Dropped it off on a Saturday and it was ready the following Wednesday for pickup. Hardly cost me anything and bonus: I was explaining to him how I had lost a power cord to another amp I owned and how I should go about replacing it, and then he offered me one he had in stock right there on the spot, free of charge. Mind blown. He even stayed open a little late so I could get all the way across town in rush hour to get it. I will definitely be returning here for all of my amplifier needs in the future.

Lowell took my DSL100H and modded the bias circuit to accept KT66 and 6L6 power tubes with a click of a switch. This is tha guy to go to if you are in need of repair or mod. Will be doing biz here exclusively.

Lowell is a Genuis!I have a vintage Marshall 50 watt head that is unmolested and in new condition. I needed someone that had a tube tester and knew their way around old vinatage amps that wasnt a hack/gorilla. I found Lowell through word-of-mouth and to my surprise he was close to where I live.Marshall: After running through it he tested the tubes and all NOS GE were ok. He discovered some less-than-optimal factory solder joints that were causing some buzzing and replaced a defective cap and resistor. The amp sounds better than it ever had!MXR Distortion+: After he fixed my amp I gave him an old early 80s MXR D+ that was an out-of-box failure. SEVERAL people attempted to repair this simple analog pedal with no success. I gave it to Lowell and he was able to find the culprits and restore its intended sound and glory!Thanks Lowell!Sean
