What's on the wall
“Tom recently did some work on my Deluxe Reverb build, removing some modifications and checking it for reliability as it’s my main gigging amp.”
“Not many people I trust to shoot me straight and take care of the many vintage, high end amplifiers that pass through my hands or end up in my collection.”
“As I suspected, repairs were going to cost a fortune - way more than the amp was worth.”
Brands they deal
“He replaced some tubes, recapped and biased my 72 silver face Fender Twin that I’d been running hot as hell for years.”
What players say again and again
“Tom does all my amp repairs and maintenance. He's knowledgeable, quick, affordable and always does a great job.”
“I most recently took him my mint ‘66 Fender Vibro Champ and he expertly brought it up to modern standards - the works.”
From the reviews
Rarely leave reviews, but feel inclined to share a really positive experience I had with Detroit Amp Lab. I came in with my Fender Blues Jr. and explained that it had been my ride-or-die, touring amp for nearly 15 years. A piece of gear I’ve loved since my teen years.
Tom/DAL has been my amp guy for several years now, most often servicing my Matchless Chieftain, and his work is always thorough. He's very good at explaining what the issue was and how it was fixed.
Tom Currie's knowledge and skills regarding the repair of amps & effects is top notch. He has brought several of my amps & effects back to life, all on a timely basis. The cool thing is that you can take your equipment into the shop (Guitar HiFi in Royal Oak) and talk to Tom directly about what you need.
I’ve been taking my amps to Tom for years now. Used to go to his house. Now he works out of Guitar Hifi in Royal Oak. He has worked on all of my Peavey Classics which are hybrid amps and some people won’t even touch them. He’s a total master! Incredible job on my 68 Bassman too.
