Skip is an old school repair and maintenance technician. No nonsense. He is an internationally renowned (no kidding) expert on tube music instrument amplifiers. Dont call him about radios or hi-fi. If you do call him, prepare beforehand with the type of amp and its issues.

I have been fortunate to have known Skip since the mid 90s. He took care of my 65 Fender Deluxe Reverb, and 58 Fender Harvard. He also built me the coolest custom tweed princeton, and a JTM45 knockoff. All of his work is fantastic. He finds the best vintage components for the amps he works on. He is an engineering genius, and generally great guy. You cant go wrong taking your tube amp to him for repairs.

Skip Simmons is exactly the kind of tube amplifier tech Ive been looking for. It is well worth the drive for me to take my vintage Fender tube amplifiers to Skip Simmons Amp Repair for him to work his magic! I highly recommend him.

Solid work on my 57 Harvard. Sounds like its brand new. We had a good chat to see what it was I needed out of the amp before he fixed it up (I fried some capacitors, was afraid the tubes were done, but he said they were fine) and after I plugged it in after getting it back, I was blown away. Cant that you enough dude.

Thank you for an awesome job on a now AMAZING SOUNDING AMP!Skip took my beat up non functioning Silverfaced Champ and converted it to a tweed princeton tone circuit. He also converted the cheap RCA output jack to a nice Switchcraft 1/4. He and I also discovered that the New Transformer I sent him (To replace the fried one) had 2 additional taps that were of a lower voltage. This allowed Skips genius to come through and lower the Silverface Champ B+ down into blackface territory!On top of all that He gave me a free 6v6 power tube, and replaced my power cord free of charge! Great man ! Great Work!

Love this place! The best!

Solid people and service!
