This dude is phenomenal as he is friendly, accommodating, and offers fair pricing. He fixed my Mesa Boogie Tremoverb and it now sounds brand new ! Definitely recommend his business to anyone looking to repair amps. read more

I am new with this firm and had two Dbx units repaired to my satisfaction in a prompt and courteous manner. Both units work ok over a month later. A bit hard to find this place and tiny shop that you cannot enter. He seems to repair things like guitar amps too, besides consumer electronics. Could use an updated website to explain his services better. Dave M. read more

Had a terrible experience with them. I guess they reserve their professional attitude for the pros! Got barked at on the phone by Alan because my keyboard was in his way in the shop and we had a misunderstanding about pick up time! His attitude towards me was rude from the beginning, and I was polite and patient with him. I don't think he cares about more business from me, in fact he made it very obvious that he does not. read more

Seriously...while I'm sure there are other qualified amp guys around I actually feel bad 'cause WHY would you bother to go to anybody BUT Tom at Aztech? His experience and no-nonsense approach makes him a JOY to visit (despite the horror of having your amp break! lol). I'm a gigging musician and, usually, have a show a few days away when I smoke out a tube or blow a transistor and he ALWAYS gets me in and out without delay. Wouldn't bring my '64 Airliner Trem-Verb to ANYONE else... read more

Aztech Electronics - Electronics Repair Near Me - East Watertown, Massachusetts

Even after dragging Hiwatt amps to him over a 15 year period, he has never been bewildered by funky UK vintage (tube) amps. In an earlier case, it took my burining out preamps over and over and bringing it back like a cranky case..he could have shoved it aside, but basically kept diagnosing...ultimately the amp just fried every time I took a Roland guitar synth into its inputs! I will add, like the old ad, "its not nice to fool mother nature", and honestly his backlog is worth the wait, but let's give him a break-he says he's working overtimie & o/n's. Half-seriously, I'd Go-Fund his business to keep it from retire/closing! Show the owner some patience before it turns into a condo! BTW, the other music "school" repairer on Ma Ave couldn't be bothered to even bench test my latest amp (1960's!)..I had to drag it in/out w almost 2 months wait time (guess they had lots of Casio keyboards and picollo mix boards at Berklee beforeth my lowly, fussy amp, (as well as me)!. Summary: compared to this quality shop, the others are just asleep at the wheel! read more

Tom, and his staff, are the best repair shop in Boston! Every touring /gigging musician is aware of them & uses them. Wizards especially with almost anything "vintage", tube or class A. Tom did all my electronics repair with Joe Perry Project, and many other touring acts over last 30 years!. His other techs have done digital keyboards & digital mixing consoles, too! Best in Boston, IMHO. read more

I've been going to Aztech and Tom since their old days at Fresh Pond. There's a reason for that. There's really nothing else like him in the area, both in terms of services and command of his craft. All the other five-star reviews can give you the details on specifics, but suffice to say I live on Martha's Vineyard now, and will make a trip into town just to be able to work with him. Add in his wonderfully salty New England sense of humor and it's a can't miss. Do note that Aztech's services are in huge demand. They will always try to accommodate an emergency, but your gear may be in the queue for a while. That's life when you choose the best. :) read more

Aztech Electronics is second to none when it comes to doing excellent work on tube amps. Tom the owner is a consummate professional, who will address the problem you came to him in the first place as well as the problems you were not aware existed. You will come out with your amp sounding better than it ever sounded since the time you purchased it. Aztech Electronics was recommended to me over 10 years ago by a Berklee professor. Every time, he has done magic with the Vintage Fender, Ampeg, Vox amps that I have purchased over the years. If you need a repair or a modification on your amp, Aztech Electronics is the place to go. His shop is located in Watertown. Easy parking. Lastly, Tom besides being an excellent engineer is also a gentleman, erudite in many subjects, with a great sense of humour. As my 23 year old son said to me after meeting him: "Tom is the man". read more

Great service great people, no nonsense.. came to them with a problem that many places before them couldnt resolve with my marshall amplifier, they helped me within minutes... couldnt say anything nicer about them read more

I needed a repair to a Roland drum module and called Aztec. I spoke to Al and he was extremely informative and helpful over the phone in regards to warranty information and what the repair may or may not cost. He was very patient and helpful. I have many musician friends who all praise Aztec as their go-to repair shop for their gear. read more

Old school to the max AND THAT IS A GOOD THING. Tom is classically trained in discrete solid state and tubes. He has years of experience in the electronic music space. He has a classic work ethic. He asked all the right questions about my M-Audio BX5a near field monitor buzz that allowed him to do the repair as efficiently and affordably as possible. When I suggested I might know the cause, HE LISTENED and asked me to send the web info for this known issue SO THAT WE COULD BOTH SAVE TIME. Now this is not typical behavior for an electronics diagnostician lol but is to be appreciated and admired. I called at 10 AM, I had the speaker to him by 11 AM, and by working together he was able to call me with a finished repair by 5 PM and his estimate (fair and reasonable) was the exact charge, even though he needed to so some cleaning up of a mess left by the previous repair shop. I really doubt you will find better than this shop no matter where you live. If these guys were in LA, they would be getting 2-3X the rate and revered as gurus. Hope the Boston community appreciates this valuable resource... read more

My Ampeg SVT4-Pro bass amp had started intermittently screeching and cutting out so after reading the reviews of various Boston-area shops, I called Aztech and spoke to Tom. He was familiar with the amp and had heard similar reports in the past so I brought it in. He agreed to fit me into his busy schedule so I'd have it for a gig in less than two weeks. He spent 3+ hours on the amp troubleshooting and was never able to replicate the problem in the shop but he inspected and re-soldered everything that he could and replaced the tubes. Though we're still not sure what exactly was wrong with it, the amp works great now and he finished three days earlier than he promised. Tom will my first call from now on and if you're a musician with a problem with your amp, I'd say he should probably be yours too! 2018 update: 4 Years and hundreds of hours of playing later.. the problem has never come back read more

Always loved Aztech. I have 5-6 repairs a month from a nightclub and expected great things. What I got was exactly the opposite. It took two months to get my record player repaired with very little contact for updates and NO apologies. Blaming the snow and health issues. Despite this I was completely understanding. Once notified it was FINALLY done, i notified my boss who took two weeks to write a check. (Net 30 is fairly standard but I rushed it so Aztech could get paid. Even though they didn't rush at ALL for me) In those two weeks I was berated by phone calls like a bill collector. Tom and Allan gave me a huge amount of attitude and demanded credit card numbers (because they didn't trust a check that was $500) even though we'd had previous repairs with them and paid up front as well as deposits. They offered NO discount on the huge delay on the repair nor an apology and after we were so patient with them, they had an attitude for us taking the time to get them paid. In the two months it took them I had multiple repairs to and from Bill at ECLPS. Bill is amazing and took one week turnover. Nice and most importantly UNDERSTANDING Unlike the crew at Aztech They used to be top notch. I don't know what's happened but I won't be bringing them more work. read more

I had a Tascam 244 that needed some repairing. These guys were very transparent with pricing and provided a quote for me. Two weeks after dropping it off the unit worked perfectly. Not only did they do a stellar job, they were friendly and personable too. If you have vintage audio equipment that needs some fixing, look no further. read more

Tom has been doing my amps since the 80's. I would not take an amp to anyone else in the area. Hands down he is the best. He has worked on Marshalls and Fenders for me, tube and solid state and the results are always stellar. I have also referred many people to Tom and they always thank me for turning them on to AZ Tech. He is priced fair and the quality of the work is unmatched. I find it funny the only bad review for this place is a person that is disgruntled because a business with a giant sign that says NO CHECKS would not take his check. read more

Aztech Electronics - AZ Tech electronics - Electronics Repair Near Me - East Watertown, Massachusetts

I've been bringing my amps to Tom for a long time, A lot of SVT's, B-15's etc. He always groans when he sees an SVT brought in, haha! But he does a great job, does it in a timely manner and is a very personable guy. He lets me in his shop, very interesting place too, lots of old tube equipment in there, his prices are reasonable too. I drive from Worcester he's so good. He even restored a 1959 Ampeg Bassamp for me so he knows his stuff. read more

This company is amazing! I tried another company before. We agreed on a price. I said I wasn't in a rush. I said I would pay now! They said no! Really! So I asked around. I found Aztech I gave them my VCR they gave me a guarantee! And I brought it home had an issue. The answer was my VCR was not going to work again! This awesome company said go on EBAY, find another one! When you get it since you already paid. we will adjust for free! This company is fantastic! Honest,straight forward! And the prices are excellent! read more

Their customer service and attention to detail are excellent! They resurrected a 22 yr old, 5 disc cd changer that brought me musical happiness for 20 yrs straight! Thanks to Aztech it's back in action! Thank you Tom and everyone at Aztech! read more

This place IS amazing and maybe it is because techies are neither verbal nor effusive that their aren't more reviews? BUT this is a wonderful place to get educated while you have repairs done quickly and skillfully. Great turn around and wonderful information. read more

I'm surprised there aren't more reviews on here for AZTech. This place is amazing. It's kind of like any hobbyist EE's dream come true. There are tons of amps and electronic devices in various stages of repair all over the place and bins full of parts probably ten feet tall in places. I went in to have Tom take a look at a 1984 JCM 800 - I thought one of the pre-amp tunes was acting up. He called later that day to give me the lay of the land and make a few suggestions (which we all great) and pointed out that it had been modded at some point for more gain. I told him to go ahead and work his magic. The turnaround was extremely fast (just a couple days). When I went in to pick it up, he showed me where the mod had been made on a schematic and gave me some more background on how it should sound in case I decided there was anything I wanted to change. Tom is really great at explaining what he thinks should be done to an amp. He also gets the job done FAST and above all, is a really nice guy. I recommend this place as much as anywhere in boston for tube amp repair. btw - you will definitely drive by it at least once the first time you try to find it. read more

Tom ROCKS! He is my new go to guy for my guitar amps and electronics.

I've taken my bass and guitar amps to Tom in the past, and have always been very happy with his fair prices, quick turnaround times, and overall knowledgability. read more

Love this place. It's the only shop in the Boston area I go to now for amp or speaker cabinet repair. Reasonable prices and quick turnaround time. Tom definitely knows his stuff. read more

Got referred to Aztech Electronics from guitar tech at guitar center. Brought my late 60s Ampeg Reverberocket. Tom and Mark did an awesome job bringing it back to life. All the pots are clean no crackling, sounds even better than I remember, of course I've had it over 40 years. read more

I brought in an amp that was blowing its fuse. He diagnosed the amp on the spot, and replaced a bad tube within 20 minutes. And cost was quite reasonable... just the cost of tubes + $20 for his time. read more

Been bringing guitar amps here for years-- Tom is the man! Very up front, knowledgable and communicative.

I've been coming here to Aztech for many years. There's no one I trust like them with my vintage synthesizers and keyboards. They're fast, get it right the first time and honest with diagnosing thru to pricing. When I moved back to Boston after living in California for 18+ years I was soooo happy to find out they were not only still here in business but still the same friendly, high quality, honest and professional electronics service facility I knew them to be from the very first time I brought my first instrument for repair into them decades ago. read more

What a rare and great find. I brought in an e-bay purchased sacd player because the transport tray arrived broken and not functioning. The guys were very patient with my questions and they quickly repaired it. Real good people who care and will do you right. Highly recommended. Thanks. read more

I've been taking my amps to Tom for years. He's the best. He's very clear on what he's doing, and will take the time to go through it with you. He even let me work with him a bit to understand my homemade univibe that was behaving unpredictably. He's done repair work and even modification work to my amps, and his work is always impeccable. And he's funny on the phone too. Only downside..... Well, sometimes the wait is kind of long. But, thats because he's the best. He's got a pile of amps he has to get through and, while he has some assistants, theres only one of him. I don't mind. Its worth it. When my amps go up in smoke, they go to Tom. When they come back, they are usually not only fixed, but better than when they went in. He'll fix anything thats not right, even if its not on his list. read more

Tom brought my Gibson Goldtone GA-15RV back to life with a short turnaround and was a good sport about my being out of town for a month, leaving my repaired amp to take up space in his not-huge shop. He really knows his stuff and gave me a schematic along with my receipt when I came to pick the amp up. I'll be back. read more

Tom has been my go-to guy for 30+ years. No need to go anywhere else. He maintained my Marshalls during my performing days and is about to work on another. He also fixed a boutique amp that arrived with a problem, he was in contact with the builder (who paid for the work) and got it right, also revived a vintage Fender Deluxe for a friend. read more

What can I say? This place is great. Tom and his staff are friendly, efficient, and fair. I've taken a Marshall JCM900 to him for a re-tubing and fix-er-up, and later a vintage Korg modular effects unit which was acting up (and which another repair shop couldn't figure out how to fix it). Point being: I've found my place to take any and all repairs to. Awesome. read more

I just moved to Boston, and had an issue in channel switching arise just after moving. I tried to get the issue fixed at a repair shop in Back Bay, which ended up resolving nothing. I then called Mesa Boogie and they recommended Aztech. I took the amp there with no expectations at all, just hoping that I didn't have to go through ordering replacement parts and the whole ordeal. Tom was always nice, maintained great communication, and repaired my issue ahead of time! He also gave a very thorough explanation of how the issue arose, how it can be prevented, and what to do if it happens again. Can't say enough good things about them! read more

Tom does great work that he stands behind. I've been taking amps to him for 20 years and can only think of a couple others in the area who I'd trust with repairs. If you're a new Aztech customer, note that he usually has a large backlog of work, so normal turnaround can take some time. However, if you're in a rush, it's always been my experience he will expedite the work as much as possible. read more

It's easy to find the best amp repair around - just call Tom. Good guy, easy to talk to and you don't get the feeling your getting anything but the best advice. read more

Aztech Electronics is amazing. Al was able to breath life into my old Tascam 244 4-track cassette deck. I doubt there are too many people around that can do that kind of work these days. Very friendly, very efficient and very reasonably priced. read more

I had a problem with a brand new Mesa Lonestar Special head. Tom took it in and had it fixed in a couple of hours. He was on the phone with Mesa and did the warranty work with their customer service. No one better in the area I have been told. read more
