As a female musician, I have a lot of experience with mansplaining, so I’m usually a little wary bringing my gear to a new shop. Curran exceeded every expectation. He walked me through the entire repair process without being condescending, answered all my questions, and had my amp back to me in less time than was originally quoted. All of the repairs and upgrades functioned exactly as expected and were expertly built. Additionally, when a newly replaced tube unexpectedly blew a few weeks later (bad luck with a bum tube), he replaced it and did a quick tune up free of charge since it was part of the initial repair. He’s a great guy, to boot. Highest recommendation.

Curran helped me diagnose a Marshall Amplifier that was crackling on the clean channel. With 10 minutes he had diagnosed the issue, and I had fun learning from him how some things work. Testing the amp, amd hearing him play, was the highlight. Great prices, amd a lot of fun to work with!!

This was my 1st time at Custom Audio Mutation and my 1st time meeting Curren and I must say Im not one easily impressed but Curren has this spark of confidence and knowledge that would make any client feel at ease getting work done by him and talking to you while he works on your equipment like hes known you his whole life just struck me in a good way, I feel after all the work he did on my Orange Rockerverb amp I found a new guitar tech man and felt like I made a new friend . Thank you so my Custom Audio Mutation you rock this s#*t and hope you go far with your business

I have a Marshall JVM that was acting up. It was quickly diagnosed in my presence, and thoroughly explained to me. The amp was repaired, re-tubed and biased, and back in my hands in record time. I don’t have a bad word to say about the whole experience, I’m very happy. If you need any work done, look no further.

Curran is very knowledgeable, honest, had a turnaround time under one week, and fixed my amp that had been messed up for forever. He knocked $ off the amount we agreed to when it was less work than he expected it to be. I would have never known the difference. I’ll definitely be back!

Working with Curran was easy, fast and a clear demonstration of his expertise on all things guitar amplifiers. He was able to explain everything that was going to be done thoroughly and answered any and all questions I had. Great communicator who stands behind his work, and would absolutely work with again.

Curran took in my dead Marshall DSL100 head. Brought that baby back to life with a replacement power circuit board, full diagnostic check and tube rebias. This head rocks. Never sounded better till now. Fantastic workmanship and answered all my questions.. Professional, patient and very thorough. Will gladly do business with him in future. Highly recommend.Thanks again!!

Outstanding service. Had my OG Budda on his bench for about 35 minutes and had it dialed in just the way I wanted. Ive never been to an amp doctor that had my gear done and out the door within the same day, let alone within the same hour. Price was super fair as well. As long I live near by hes my guy. This guy does his peeps right.

Curran did a awesome job installing my Fishman Modern Fluence pickups and the battery pack in my Schecter Reaper guitar. He also did a set up on the guitar. It plays like a dream and sounds awesome!! Highly recommend CAM!!!

My Galliano Kruger CX-410 had some blown speakers, and he replaced them all with Eminence neodymium speakers. Its solid as a rock, 30lbs lighter, and sounds exactly how I want it to. Bumped it from 800 to 1,200 watts as well on his recommendation so it wont blow again. Very friendly and responsive too. Im just chuffed to bits! I will seriously recommend Custom Audio Mutation to everyone I know.

I bought a 1981 JCM 800 online, had it shipped to my house and boy did it have some issues! Curran did an amazing job not only resorting this old relic, he made it sing! His attention to detail is second to none and highly recommended. Thanks a million for the restoration!

Cant express how happy I am with Currans products and services. True hard work and dedication behind his products. The CAM850MII is truly a work of art. One of the best if not the best amp I have ever owned or played. Strongly recommend to anyone and everyone!!

The owner of this company Curran is so knowledgeable and is such a likealikeable and charismatic business individual, that you can sit and talk with this cat for days! I went to his shop to have him look at my first dive into the endless possibilities of tones of TUBE amps! My first Tube amp, so excited got it on an excellent trade a PRS 2 Channel H 12 combo.When I got the amp it looked like the back was opened up before so, of course I open it up to see if maybe it was just a regular tube change for regular new tube maintenance. Im glad I did, wrong tubes and who knows if they were matched or even if something else is not quite right. Curran Sat me down and took the time to walk me through EVERY step he took and somewhat educated me on tube amps as much as I could possibly understand and retain as a truly beginner to all tube amps ( I played solid state all my life) as he gave my amp a full going over and new tube change to correct tubes. Needless to say Curran got the correct tubes in it checked EVERYTHING he possibly could on the amp to give it a clean bill of health. Then let me hang out for over an hour to burn the new tubes in an WOW what a way better sounding amp and now this amp Im sure will be a long time keeper and also be my 1st tube amp ever owned. Again I recommend Custom Audio Mutations for DEFINITELY all your amp work and more! The owner of this company Curran is definitely a Musicians, Musician so to speak! A a Musician who lives and breathes this for his livelihood, has integrity, and is honest! Definitely recommend him!! 15 stars over! Thanx again Curran!!Jamie HochGuitarfest Guitar Show promoter

Fantastic service. Curran turned my amps around very quickly, and was in constant contact the whole time. He is priced right, and provided tiered estimates for a complicated repair, ranging from “what you need right now,” to “make this thing bulletproof.”

Excellent service!! When I took my amp in Curran took the time to disassemble it in front of me so I could see the areas that needed repair. He explained everything clearly and the repair work was top notch. The turnaround was reasonable and worked out exactly as planned. My Deville ended up needing a lot of work, however the price was more than fair. Very highly recommended.

Excellent craftsmanship and a great communicator! Very reasonable about his prices ! I’m extremely pleased with the work he has done on my Fender DRRI! I’m already a repeat customer!

Had a real nice custom guitar that just needed better fretwork and Currans recommendations led me to getting a complete refret. Amongst other details he was quick to fix and put this guitar into another realm of performance! It really is true inspiration... the guitar and Curran’s work!

Curran did an exemplary job of servicing and modifying my blackstar artisan 15. I came to him looking for the installation of a post phase inverter master volume, as well as a general tune up. He did the extra leg work by getting into the original schematic of the amp and was able to astutely recommend changes that resulted in a superior tone. The amp is screaming like it never has before! Not to mention that the ppiv master volume is functioning perfectly!Not only this, but the turn around time was very fast and communication was top notch! If you are in need of a tube amp technician, there is no one in the region I could recommend more highly.
