Cool people, and cool stuff. What more can I say?

Need Audio Equipent Repaired?

Microphones...power amps...Guitar Amps, stereo equipment? Meet Robert Hovland: not your typical Tech! World renowned Audio designer, he's so meticulous, he even had his own capacitors made, seriously! I don't trust ANYONE else with my collection of Vintage Neumann, AKG, Telefunken mics...NO ONE. Email Robert at the address below.

Dr. Z Amplification

Just play a Route66, just for 5 minutes. You will thank me and you will buy one. Finally, no need to hunt down an old Plexi and then spend $1000 getting it to sound and work right. The best amp currently made for what I like.

Mercury Magnetics Transformers

I love Mercury Magnetics Transformers! When you have as many vintage amps as I do you either have to constantly repair them or can't help but want to get that "extra bit of mojo" out of them... and that's why I get so excited when the UPS man rolls up and there's another batch of MM stuff. Yah baby.

Guitar Effects Pedals book

There's a book out, "Guitar Effects Pedals," featuring yours-truly as well as many other effects makers. Very cool book that includes sound samples and history, etc. Use the Amazon link below to buy it online.
