...who is/are the best amp tech(s) in toronto or the gta?

my traynor ycv40wr is due for servicing and, probably, new tubes.

i'd love to have someone run a full diagnostic and, ideally, suggest upgrades.

Tim @ Songbird Music
Tony @ Capsule Music
Martin Newall (I think he also works out of Capsule Music)

Leif did a guitar setup for me a couple of weeks ago and it came out really well. He told me that he's going on tour for a few weeks though, so may not be a good choice if you are in a hurry.

I second Tim at Songbird. He has serviced a couple of old Traynors for me and has always been reasonable.

David, try John Fletcher. He does a lot of work for 12th Fret. He did some work on a amp of mine. Excellent tech and very reasonable rates.

-dh I have lost his phone#, but call the 12thFret and they will give you his number. Very honest repairman. When I sent him my amp, he quoted me a price and I went with that. When my amp was fixed, he said the price I was quoted was a little too high for the work he did, so he lowered it by almost $100. He seem's to be highly respected judging by all the amps I saw in his living room. You can't go wrong with him! And you are right, he is a great guy.

I'm new to this forum, but yes, I know Rob. He works at the Brampton L&M, I believe, and fixes tube amps out of his home. He builds anice tweed clone too. His website is www.classicamps.com

Peace,

Paul

Rob Fowler is a good tech, though pretty expensive compared to others named here.
