Guy know his stuff. And love him some El PatoReport
Very knowledgeable and skilled ownerReport
Gave an amp I've used since late 1970s a complete look-over. Replaced leaking caps, added one that Fender left off when they made it, put in a grounded AC plug and vintage speaker. Looks and sounds wonderful. Louder too. Mr. Simmons is is an enthusiast and craftsman of the first order. His shop is like Aladin's treasure cave, but everything is legit and will be headed back to its rightful owner.Report
Take a day to visit in person (call first, of course) when you bring your amp(s) to him, and to pick them up. Perfect pizza and artisan beer are close enough for lunch.

Simple Skip Simmons Is the BEST he has a real feel for amplifiers especially for guys that own vintage amps and he knows how they feel about their amp I was ripped off Bad by a famous amp guru in Texas He charged my $1300 Plus shipping 2 times He pilfered my good Blue caps and overfiltered my 1963 Bandmaster that I bought from Hollywood parks and recreation it was a house in Hollywood bowl and when they remodeled it in September 19 71 they were selling all their back line amps me and my buddies from Hollywood Highland down there and bought almost all we could anyway Skip Simmons is a great guyReport

Skip is an old school repair and maintenance technician. No nonsense. He is an internationally renowned (no kidding) expert on tube music instrument amplifiers. Don't call him about radios or hi-fi. If you do call him, prepare beforehand with the type of amp and it's issues.Report
