Anvil Amps now in Paeroa

Post by Anvil Amps Alan »

Hi all,
Just a heads up for Valve Amp owners in the Waikato area.
I have moved away from all the traffic jams and set up my Repair Workshop in Paeroa.
Still setting up and things are a bit of a mess,

Ah the hourly rate sign, very good.

You know in the long distant past I was a mechanic. Customer would say "It can't be this thing, I already worked on that"
Well that'd be the first thing I'd check over. Always ask; where have the humans been?

That sign is about 20 years old,
Made it when I was doing Car Audio & Alarms for people who wanted to sit in the back seat of their car and watch over my
shoulder, one old guy who thought it acceptable for his small dog trying to lick my face while I was working in the front on the stereo install.

Also little Boom Sound Morons who when given tech advice and access to my work area stole my tools and gear!
Has been an amusement for a long time.

Should add Alan to the Directory thread.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

A mate grew up in Paeroa, his parents still live there. When the right season he will bring back a big bag of lemons after a family visit, they really are exceptional.
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
