Toneman does repairs, modifications,
general maintenance and restorations to tube amps, guitars and effects
pedals.
With over 25 years of hands on experience as well as being a professional
musician, Toneman knows not only how your equipment should sound, but
how and why it works !
I started working on guitars and amps in 1973 at the old Acoustic Control
Amp Company. Then I went to West L.A. Music's Service Dept. And in 1975,
I moved to Texas and worked for a couple of different stores partime
doing repairs and playing in various bands at the same time until touring
became a fulltime commitment with our new record contract with MCA.
In January 1987 I moved back to LA and worked for Soundcraft(mixing
consoles) until late 1988 when I went to SWR Engineering(at that time
a very small company building bass amps). I was at SWR for nine years
and was the Head Production Tech & Customer Service Manager, but
really did a little of everything while I was there. I left to do this
and haven't looked back.
