What's on the wall
“He brought my 80’s telecaster back from the dead with a fret leveling, set up, and a new bridge pickup.”
“I took my son's bass guitar and he did an excellent job of angling it so that the bass can support the new strings.”
“Donato took my amp in last minute, did a full evaluation and preemptively fixed things that could become a potential problem as well as addressing the main issue - while I waited!”
“My son buys a fair amount of vintage gear, and it's great to have a go to guy for repairs and information.”
“He diagnosed the issue, made the necessary repairs, and even modded the standby switch to help prevent future problems.”
Brands they deal
“He did a great job servicing my Marshall amp, cleaning pots and the board, swapping out the tubes, and restoring it to like-new condition.”
What players say again and again
“I took my dead Marshall DSL 100 over to Donato at Dual Stage Amplification and he not only brought it back to life, but it sounds meaner than ever now!”
“The owner Donato is great, knowledgeable, personable guy; has very reasonable prices, and I was impressed with their tools, gear, professionalism and of Corse, the outcome.”
From the reviews
Donato is the man, I couldn't recommend Dual Stage more highly. He repaired a modeling amp I knocked off the desk quickly and well. Dude is clearly super knowledgeable, stoked to talk gear, down to make you an espresso, and most importantly a very competent professional. If you've got gear needs this is the spot.
I highly recommend Dual Stage Amplification. I had an issue with my amp and Donato got back to me very promptly. I was expecting for him to have my amp for several days and he was able to fix it while I was there and I left with it, with the issue resolved. He was very accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable.
I wish I could give Donato 6 stars. He brought my 80’s telecaster back from the dead with a fret leveling, set up, and a new bridge pickup. He really, really knows his stuff and I learned quite a bit just chatting with him while he worked on my guitar.
Donato's got a great shop and a lot of knowledge and stories to share. He also offers coffee to visitors! He did a great job servicing my Marshall amp, cleaning pots and the board, swapping out the tubes, and restoring it to like-new condition.
