“Hunt Amplification ROCKS!!! Took my fizzy, boomy, gainless Marshall Class 5 head to Lowell. He quickly did his homework on the circuit (on his own time) and brilliantly transformed it into a growling, singing sustain monster in very short order. Basically he redesigned the amp, and the cost of his services was incredibly reasonable. Lowell knew what needed changing and went about it in the simplest and most economical manner possible. So if you are in need of a knowledgable, diligent, honest, and economical technician to turn your amp into what it should be, you need to talk to Lowell Hunt.” - Frank C.
"Amp sounds great now, thanks for a job well done." - Greg
“I found Lowell though Billy at B&D Guitar Repair before he moved his operation to B&D's location . I have two vintage Marshall JMP 45W heads. One was made in 76 that did NOT have the vintage tone. I had two other people work on it. Both with very good knowledge of my amps. I had them install Mercury Magnetic transformer, power supply and choke. They also attempted to modify the circuit to match the circuit of an amp to match that of a loaner amp that possessed the tone I wanted. The loaner amp was my new baseline for tone. We even tried to source the exact cable that was used in loaner amp to make sure everything was the same. Nothing worked. I ended up buying another JMP head made in 78 (same year as the loaner). The tone was close to my wants, but still not as good. Enter Lowell. I took both heads to him. After several conversations I decided I did not want two amps that sounded the same and decided to let him have free reign on the 76. He made it so it sounds like the higher gain JCM800. AWESOME! For the 78, Lowell made it sound better than the loaner amp! Lowell is now my amp guy! He is honest and very easy to talk too. He knows his stuff and what to do to get every bit of tone out of an amp tailored to your desires. Next on his bench is my British made VOX AC30-TB that is missing "something". I KNOW you will not be disappointed with anything he does.” - Jeff L.
“Lowell...blackstar sounds awesome. I think it has just about the right amount of gain for my taste. Couldn’t be happier. Thank You.” - Roy S.
“Lowell everything works great. The Triaxis and 50/50. You are right about the buffer. I used a stereo chorus after the noise gate pedal and now it’s way better.” - Kevin C.
“Just wanted to say thanks again. This thing sounds fantastic.” - Mike S.
“Take your amp to Hunt Amplification! As mentioned in another review, I'm not too keen on the experiences AZ has to offer with amp techs, but Lowell is awesome. I've used his services several times for repairs and/or mods and each time I take my toys home extremely happy. He's an honest, stand-up guy who does great work for great prices. Not to mention he likes to talk to you, ask questions, and have a genuine conversation about what you want, or what he did for a repair or modification. Don't waste your time anywhere else, trust me. AND, he builds awesome tubeamps too... check out his customs!” - Chris B.
“I have taken many projects to Lowell. I have Vox, vintage Fender, and Hiwatt amps. I use a ton of pedals. Many of them being Lowell custom builds. Ever where I go I get compliments on my tone and I always have to point back to Lowell. He asks lots of questions, ensuring you get what you want. He is an artist.. Seriously! His work is beautiful. Clean and solid. I trust Lowell so much that I've started saying yes to pretty much whatever he suggest. His goal is to help me reach mine. If you need a custom build, simple repair or a complete overhaul, Lowell's the guy. Stop reading this review and call him!” - Ryan H.
"This amp now Rocks.. Sounds better than I ever heard this baby. Long Live good Amp techs!! Lowell make the world sound better." - Jason S.
“Just a quick note: Ran into a great deal on a used DR Z Monza 1x10 combo. At times I disconnect the Monza amp and plug "rosebud" to the DR Z cab. The DR Z has a Red Fang speaker. You won't believe how amazing the rosebud amp sounds thru that speaker. unbelievable. it is loud and clear with the volume set at 9 O'clock. it may be 12 watts but it is "Hunt" 12 watts...loud :).” - Nico F.
"This is my amp. Absolutely amazing clean. Beautiful ZZ Top-esque break up when the channels are jumped. I didn't hear it before it Lowell got a hold of it, but he did a great job." - Wade B.
"Owning vintage amps can be hard on one's checking account for the maintenance they require. This is my 74' 50W. I totally put my faith in Lowell. There are many tech's here in town. Lowell cares about his work and his customer service is excellent. I have been to many reputable tech in Phx, and Lowell is bar none the best. This modded amp is a tone and gain monster. It will shred all stock stock jubilee's, 900/800 and all TSL's/JCM 2000's." - Pete G.
"Hi, Lowell. Sounds great. I love it. No issues at all. Just what I wanted." - Carter C.
"The amp is simply awesome! It truly is 100 times better than before. Thanx a million for working your miracles! I'm one satisfied customer. Also thanx for the bit of schooling today on how tubes and tube amps work. I learned a lot. Please try to remember me if you make that "Trainwreck" head. I would really like to hear that. I think I'll start saving my pennies so you can build me an amp that goes to eleven. -HA HA HA! LOL. -Thanx, again." - Kevin O.
"Lowell, Just wanted to thank you again for your AWESOME work on the Selmer!
I LOVE IT!!! and it sounds WAY BETTER than before!" - Dave S.
"Hi Lowell, Thankyou again for your excellent service, my Scout is working
great and my new Strat sounds very good on it!...I will learn to play
better..if it takes forever..HA! I will surely recommend you to everyone I
know...wish you the best in the future." - Dave A.
"This is a really great sounding amp . . .Thank you for your high quality work and top-notch customer service. This thing is going to be my workhorse for the foreseeable future. I'll be heading your way when I need amp work in the future." - Andrew D.
"Hey Lowell, I didn’t get to play the amp here at home until just now, and man I gotta tell you… after only a half hour I LOVE it. The tonal possibilities now with that master volume are great, and have been able to dial in a good clean sound with pretty much no break up at all. I like to support local business so I’ll be telling my friends.
Thanks for the tune up, and I look forward to talking and working with you in the future." Chris B.
"Hey Lowell, just wanted to say thanks again. The amp sounds great. Have a good one." Dan S.
"1965 Champ – dude, what can I say here? I’ve owned it for literally decades, and it sounds better than ever before. What the heck kind of magic did you do inside?! It rocks, and aside from being the perfect at home jam amp, it actually sounds good enough to gig with. No kidding! So I’m 100% satisfied and impressed with your mods/adjustments. Keep up the good work, and I’ll definitely be looking for you in the future." - David M.
"If anyone on here lives in the Phoenix, AZ area, I recently found a great amp tech who works for cheap, does a great job, and actually enjoys doing amp repairs and mods rather than trying to make as much money as possible off each customer. http://www.huntamps.com/" - Chad T.
"By the way, I take ALL my amps to Lowell at Hunt Amps, and I *highly* recommend them! They're very good. Very knowledgeable, and will work with you to get the sound you want." - Tom B.
"He said my other Hiwatt couldn't be fixed (well Lowell at Hunt Amps fixed that one too) and he wasn't putting his heart into the service. I'm thrilled now . . . Live and Learn." - Mark T
"Lowell - the Boogie sounds better than ever - like it did when I bought
in new from the factory in 1981! Thanks for fixing it for me." - Doug N.
"Lowell - my 1990 sounds great and no longer cuts out, thanks for fixing it." - Doug N.
"Hi Lowell, Thanks for fixing up the DRRI. Whatever else you did to it improved it a bunch." - James L.
"Hey Lowell, I tried out the Twin Reverb today and it sounds great....strong reverb with NO buzz. Thanks again for the awesome job, I have no clue how you fixed it, but it's fine now." - Joe R.
"Lowell, I only had a minute to check out the amp right now but WOW! I didn’t plug my pedals in, but it’s amazingly loud. I’ll have to play around later . . . I can’t wait to spend some time with it." - John E.
"HEY LOWELL!!!! I HAAAAAAADDDDD to let you know that the Precision Electronics amp is absolutely AMAZING!!!!! You achevied a tone from that thing that I could never have expected!! I played it through the Ferromax F150 and it was so rich and pure! I have never heard a tone like that at a manageable volume. I cranked the master to 9 and the amp came alive with thick tone. VERY VERY easy to get a BEAUTIFUL tone from this thing. I have never enjoyed just the simple pleasure of plugging in directly, and I can only imagine what it will sound like with some verb and color in front. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!" - Joseph F.
"Hey Lowell, Just wanted you to know the TSL is doing fantastic! Thanks a lot for all of your help in making my amp shine once again!" - John R.
"Lowell, thanks for the great service on my amps.I put one of the phillips 12ax7's in the Alamo and she is singing very nicely.I use a VooDoo lab fuzz with the trem about 1/2 way up,sweet.The Traynor works great through a 12" ext speaker also.Like you mentioned,it's quite the screamer." - Doug
"The 5150 sounds REALLY good! Great Job!!!" - Pete R.
The modifications are OUTSTANDING. I'm not sure about it being louder since the attenuator makes it hard to tell, but much more body in the treble high input at lower volumes with nicer highs. No need to jump channels at low volume to add more lows now." - Steve S.
"The Jcm 2000 sounds great brother - thank you so much!" - Rod F.
“We tracked some stuff with the Marshall last night. It sounds great! Thank you.” - Ben H.
"Lowell, I just plugged it in and played it. You did a fantastic job! What surprises me is how loud, punchy and clear it is. I'm sold on the NOS stuff, it really does seem to make difference. Anyway, I couldn't be happier and appreciate the all the meticulous effort you put forth. I'll be in contact with you regarding the speaker soon. Thanks again." - Bob M.
"Hi Lowell, Just wanted to thank you for everything! Will talk to you later about other amps I have that may need some work." - Leo S.
"Lowell. Just wanted to send a note about the amps. They sound amazing. The Fender PA 135 sounds great through my two 2x12 vintage cabs.....it is the best my pedal set-up has ever sounded. I can't wait to play out with it. The Musicmaster Bass amp doesn't even sound like the same amp......it breaks up and the mids really shine. It is blues right out of the box....no pedal needed but when you do hook it up...wow." - Keith M.
"This amp plays amazing. You're a genius. Thanks for a great job. This thing plays like new. Can't wait to get the original speaker redone." - Jeremy R.
"Lowell:
I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for the fast turnaround and quality work you performed on my amp." Earl A.
