This is
mid-priced modeling amp that puts out 60 W. It features a
number of amp models and effects, and relies on a single
tube pre-amp. When the amp stopped working, Robert fixed
it quickly and professionally.
But the real news is
that, for about $ 20, Robert replaced the original tube
with one that transformed the sound of the amp. It now
has an immediate attack (using hotter pickup guitars),
and a warmth and depth it always lacked. Thanks
Robert.

I'm a rock and
blues guitarist, and I asked Robert Evans (the Audio
Atelier) to do some work on my 1972 Fender Super Reverb
amp in May 2007. The amp was working, but it was fairly
noisy, it had blown a fuse recently, some of the
controls didn't seem to be working effectively, and I was
worried it might be on the edge of a breakdown.
After communicating
with me about my style of playing, tone
preferences, and what I wanted out of the amp,
Robert spent two hours with the amp and then called me in
to test it. I immediately noticed the following
improvements:
• The amp was
noticeably quieter..... the background crackling and hum
were gone.
• The amp had
more clean headroom, and was louder at comparable
volumes.
• The bass
control, which previously was effective only up to 3, and
then very muddy from 4 on up (a problem I have heard from
other vintage Super Reverb owners), was much more
effective. Settings at 4 and above had a gradually
increased bass response without being overly
muddy.
I was very pleased
with Robert's work on my amp, and with his knowledge and
expertise with tube amps and sound quality.
Thanks again,
Robert, and keep up the good work. Cheers,
