| Well guys, i've got a new hero,& that is Ken Fox. I had been hearing about Peavey mods for some time now,& as with alot of things you hear about,I thought it was just a bunch of hype,because Peavey makes a top notch,all around good amp. But my sound had got so bad, I thought my ears had just gone bad on me[both of them].I finaly called Ken, & after one minute, I knew he was trustworthy& also a retired I.B.E.W electrician as I am.I sent him my amp & he had it modded in one day,&on the way back. I pluged it in &WOW, what a sound.I have owned two Webb amps at one time,& believe I cant tell any difference in my now sound.I dont know a lot about electronics,but he replaced over thirty parts.If you want to, or feel you need to up grade your sound, I highly recommend you give him a call. Aint this Forum a wonderful place! |

Oh I gotta chime in here too. Thanks Ken for excellent service, above and beyond.
I also apprciate the constant communication, so I always know where my amp is and what's going on with it.
He's done FOUR for me now. (2 TubeFex, 1 LTD and 1 Session 400) |

Well, when there is negative things happening sometimes, it's good to accentuate the positive. The Ken Fox experience has been very positive. He did the LTD400 mod for me, did a 2 day turnaround, great job, and great sound as a result...

Thanks for the kind words.
After 23 years in Oregon I retired back to the area I left in 1982. It is great to be back home in Georgia and to renew old friendships with so many musician's I knew and worked with in the the 70's and early 80's.
Since retirement a few years ago I started doing local amp repair and the work that I can do for Forum members as a hobby income.
I am doing a lot more local tube amp repair, speaker replacement, guitar setup/repair and limited transistor amp repair. I have also been helping out a local Peavey/Fender dealer (old friends that I worked for in the 1970's and early 80's) with some of their repairs as well. There was no one in the local area doing that work, so it was a welcome relief for a lot of my old friend's here when I opened shop.
Almost daily I am answering questions via email and phone for our Forum member's and local musicians. It is a pleasure to help out with what knowledge I can share with others.
The growth in the amount of work from locals and our fellow Forum member's has simply amazed Ruth and I. It is a wonderful experience to do something that one enjoys so much in one's retirement. We appreciate it so very much. |

A search will find numerous posts from me, regarding the terrific work Ken did on my Dual Showman Reverb. That was about 3-4 years ago, and he doesn't hesitate to answer any questions I have about it. Very highly recommended indeed !!!!
