About The Ampguy
With my friend Dr Jim Marshall, an inspiration to us all
Read my Tech-Talk column in Guitar Buyer each month, Britains
best Guitar Magazine.
Steve Ayers has been building
and repairing amplifiers for over 35 years, his first successful repair was a valve record player when he was just
eight years old!
After a CGLI course at Kings Lynn Technical College, where he graduated with two distinctions and a credit, he
started work with an aerospace electronics company working on amongst other things test equipment for the Jaguar
aircraft. Steve has also worked as a Radio and TV engineer and this gave him a great foundation for repairing guitar
amplifiers which have very similar circuitry to the valve TV sets of the late 1970's.
The name AMPGUY came about when Steve had many phone calls from guitarists with broken equipment asking if he was
the AMPGUY and if could he fix their amps, the name has stuck.
Steve also gives courses in how to keep your equipment working, this is a flexible course which caters for anyone from an amateur guitarist who wants to know more about the way his set-up works and how to improve it, to someone looking for a career in artist support (guitar tech).

Steve's partner Tena Lynn is responsible for much of the administration for AMPGUY, and is in charge of the most
important part of the whole operation .............. TEA!!
Tena takes a very important call !
