I've had several repairs, staff are very helpful, responsive and good turnaround time

I have taken my Yamaha guitar here a couple of times over the years for different issues that have come up. In each case, Paul took care of the problem quickly, completely, and for a very reasonable cost. I think most musicians have dropped off an instrument at a shop and thought. "well... I hope they do this right!" I never have that worry here. It's nice that there are still places like this, run by people who are super knowledgeable and take a lot of pride in their craft. Highly recommended! read more

Paul and his staff hooked up my Yamaha keyboard repair on the spot . I enjoyed the top rated service very much . I would highly recommend . read more

Best Ever service and the value is excellent! These Guys are the real pros. Thank Goodness we have them! They have a solution for the problem each time! read more

Pauls fixed my amp a couple times Also was available to answer technical and provide recommendations read more

They are the BEST at repairing Yamaha electronics Have saved the day for my students multiple times read more

There is no better amp tech. Period. Paul is not only extremely knowledgeable, he is professional and kind. I brought my 63 Bassman in for some extremely loud cracking noises it was randomly. I was on a time crunch and Paul really came through to completely revive my amp and get it playing better than ever. He also took the time to explain different tubes to me and even let me test a few of his collection in my amp. The man is a true master and well respected technician. read more

I stopped by and the man himself helped me out. He did an inspection on my Blackstar ID 260TVP because it went out due to who knows? Thing smelled like burning plastic when running. It also kept buzzing. Turns out one of the speakers blew out because the components that connect to it had a loose screw that was jumping around. My amp came from UK Guitar center and probably got thrown around. Paul you are amazing. I will definitely be back because I have another Blackstar that does really need repair because my neighbors broke it. As for my amp, guitar center recognized it was an issue on their end and took my return with a replacement. Thanks again and bless you and your entire crew and family! read more

Shoutout to friendly knowledgeable consummately professional service - thanks to high recommendation my friend Don who's also a tech wizard we took my Yamaha P71 keyboard which I thought was broken. Right there on the spot Paul immediately saw the problem which I should've caught myself - he was kind about my ignorance haha and then made further improvements I didn't think were fixable - all with cheerful alacrity and sharing stories about the keyboard's place in rock history l - like going to a trusted relative who cared about service and sending you home pleased . This kind of service is amazing and an example to all businesses ! read more

These guys are awesome. I am a service tech in Hawaii and ran across a Yamaha PSRS970 that wouldn't boot. After replacing the main board (not under warranty) the client still had the same issue (although it worked on my bench). So Yamaha service requested I send it to PMTS. I fedex'd it and it was received on a Wednesday morning. By Friday I had it back-- repaired! I actually thought the shipment was refused or something because I never expected it to be repaired so quickly! Great job!! read more

I brought my Yamaha P-155 because it wasn't turning on. The staff was very friendly. Paul told me to have a seat while he checked what was wrong with my keyboard. After about 20 minutes, Paul came out with my keyboard repaired! Man! Talk about prompt service. And the cost for the repair was very, very, very reasonable. Thank you Paul! This will be my go-to place for all my future repair needs. I highly recommend this place. 5 solid stars. read more

Can I give more than 5 stars? Paul Morte is the prime example of a great businessman. I have been to his place of business in Orange several times, and every time he has gone beyond expectations to get my keyboards fixed. Not only did he get my issues resolved, but also took the time to make a phone call to Korg while I was there in order to get further support from the manufacturer. I wish the same would go for some of these technical support centers where there was nothing but disappointment throughout. Just fyi, Paul's service center repairs (or services) various electronic products and is an authorized service center for many known musical electronics such as Korg and Yamaha. Once again, a huge 'Thank You' to you, Paul! read more

I took a fender deluxe reverb that had blown out and wasn't powering on. I thought it would be a big bill for repair but Paul quickly determined it was a bad resistor and had me up and running quickly and for a very resonsable price. I recommend him to all my music buddies now. Cheers to this great technician! read more

The Super knob on my Yamaha MODX 6 broke just before a gig. Paul had the parts in stock and fixed it quickly to ensure I could do the gig. He kept me informed all along the way. For any future issues there is no question I will get Paul's help. read more

I took my EVH5150 amp here when I had yet another problem. They initially told me it'd be a 4 week wait, but Paul looked at my amp right away, tested it, showed me how the electronics/tubes work and diagnosed the problems within an hour. He fixed it on the spot and did an amazing job. I will always go here when I need my gear repaired. read more

Absolutely FANTASTIC customer service by every person in the shop! Brought in a "return" Yamaha digital piano that I had just purchased cheaply as non-working, but they not only showed that it "was" working, but gave me a tour of many of the features that it had, helped me clean it up a little, did a factory reset, suggested a great app that was designed specifically for it, and also sold me all of the little Yamaha accessories that it was missing plus a manual, all for a great price. The stellar customer service stands out the most though, I couldn't be happier. They will be my service shop from now on, for sure. Thanks so much, guys!!!! :) read more

Paul Morte Technical services is top notch. I can't say enough good things about him. He does all my warranty and out of warranty work. He understands the needs of working musicians and accommodates as well as he can. I'll go to no place else. read more

Picked up a vintage amp and when I brought it home noticed that only one speaker worked. The store where I purchased it from told me to take it to their "guy" who luckily was Paul Morte. Not only did he figure out the issue in less than two minutes, he repaired it while I waited. This is a very odd ball amp and he knew just where to look. I was in and out of his shop in less than an hour. The store where I purchased the amp told me "Paul can fix anything". I totally agree with that statement. Would highly recommend Paul and his staff. read more

Paul is quick and knowledgeable. Great repair shop, and also able to work on vintage tube amps. Apparently they can handle most electronic repairs. Highly recommended. read more

Took my brand new Fender amp in for warranty repair due to rattling microphonic tubes, and these folks diagnosed the problem instantly. They told me turn around time would be roughly 2 weeks, they ended up giving it back to me in less than a week. They went through the amp with a fine tooth comb, replaced the bad tubes, and tightened up the cabinet and chassis screws to ensure nothing else was rattling. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. I trust them with my gear, and I'll be sure to return for future work. A pleasure to do business with. read more

I brought four amps to Paul's shop before Christmas. I got excellent service and a very reasonable price. I am very happy with the work they did. Very personable and professional. Go see these guys. read more

Paul is a brilliant and honest electronic technician and designer! He is "THE GUY" to go to for Fender and Groove Tubes gear repair. Paul has repaired and tweaked both my Groove Tube's Vipre Studio Vacuum Tube Preamps. Reasonable & Honest service in a timely manner. Does not get much better than this, folks! read more

Great! Down to business and expeditious. These guys know their stuff, care, do it right, and do it fast. Thanks, Paul and team! read more

These people are awesome! Fast, reasonable priced repairs of audio equipment such as Yamaha amps and Fender items. I have been here several times and have received exemplary service each time. Today's visit was no exception, and Paul fixed my part while I waited. I highly recommend these professionals. FYI Waze sends you to the wrong side of the street on the map. Otherwise, easy to find and access from freeways. read more

A few years ago I moved out of the area (1 hr. away), but I recently brought an SWR bass amp to Morte for repair after taking it to two other shops closer to me that were unable to find the problem. Not only did Paul successfully perform the repair (which turned out to be a relatively simple issue), he completed it within a couple of hours so I could retrieve the amp while I was still in the area - and he charged me an extremely fair price for the work. I also know for a fact that Paul & crew can pretty much fix anything in the realm of amps or electronic music gear (as long as it realistically can be fixed). I've been a customer for over 30 years, and my recent experience reminded me what an exceptional degree of expertise and excellent customer service they provide. I will continue to use them for any repairs I need, even though it's not as convenient to do so, and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would! read more

Hats off to the real rock stars here at Paul Morte Tech Svcs. They brought my Blackstar Mkii HT 60 back from the dead, and it sounds better now than it did before it stopped working. They replaced 5 components on the circuit board, and explained which parts they were. They also rebiased the preexisting tubes. A thousand thank you's go out to you! read more

Paul is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable I had a couple of problems with a Marshall JCM 900 He went out of his way to help me Will always reach out if I need amp service read more

In the late 90's I was still in high school and I used to take my Marshalls in for services at Paul's. I remember the turnaround time being good and the repairs always held up. fast forward to 2015... I recently purchased a Marshall head and it was suffering from some tube issues. Paul took it in, diganosed the problem a day later, and directed me where to buy some very affordable and quality replacement parts. He allowed me to have the parts drop-shipped to him and the amp was fixed the day after the parts arrived. He's very honest, charges very fair prices for his work, and the turnaround times are still good. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more knowledgeable tech in Orange County. Your amp is in good hands with this guy's shop! read more

I went over there today to have him check out a couple of amps that I thought had problems. He spent an hour looking at both of them, switched a couple of tubes on one, checked the wiring on another. In the end, he said they were both OK. He recommended that I get a different speaker and tubes for one amp, let me take pictures of the tubes he was talking about. He wouldn't take any money because he "didn't actually do anything". Wow. What else could I possibly say? read more

After several attempts to fix my JCM2000 Marshall head I took it to Paul and I couldn't be more happier that I did. I had a very peculiar power issue and he was able to fix it at a very reasonable price. I will take all my gear here for repairs now. read more

Paul is the best ever service center for audio I have ever found, no doubt. The Gold standard of service. From tube guitar amps to sophisticated digital mixing boards to most any old analog or newer modeling keyboard you can name...he does it all with fast efficient courteous service that is, IMHO, under market price. We use PMTS for all our warranty and non-warranty work for the many Groove Tubes, GT, APD (Aspen PIttman Design) and CPS (Center Point Stereo) I have released over the last 40 years...and I trust him enough to refer ALL my clients (old and new) to Paul for servicing and they send hm my vintage tube ViPRE preamps and Glory Comp compressors from all over the US, Canada and even Europe because he's simply the best. And they usually call me with a 'thank you' after they get their GT item back. (NOTE: This is NOT a paid endorsement, it is from my heart.) Aspen Pittman read more

Drove up from San Diego because my local service center couldn't get to my keyboard for three weeks because of a backlog due to a death in the family. All credit to them, he recommended Paul Morte. Because I'd driven up, Paul said he'd look at the keyboard in case it was an easy fix. Told me to have lunch and he'd let me know. I would have been thrilled just to know that it wasn't something that could be fixed easily and gone home happy to give him five stars just for that extra effort. But when I returned from lunch, he'd already found a circuit that had burnt out and was in the process of replacing it. He saved me another round trip from San Diego and the time it normally would have taken waiting for him to get around to repairing it. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Paul and to your great and friendly staff. read more

These guys are the closest authorized KORG service center in my area. Long Story Short: ********************************************** Took in and repaired my nearly-out-of-warranty keyboard and had it ready to pickup within 24 hours. They decided to take it in despite being backed up for service on Korg products for 8 weeks when they found out my keyboard was in it's last month of original factory warranty. ********************************************** I took my Korg SV-1 to get serviced here just shy of my one year warranty expiring. My main quarter inch out put went bad pretty early on in my ownership of the keyboard, but I was using my XLR outs as a work around. I contacted these guys a few months ago and they said that normal service time was about a week. At that time I was using my board pretty regularly, and could continue using my work around until I had enough free time to be without my keyboard for some time to get it fixed up before the warranty expired. Fastforward to Yesterday. April 20th. I finally had some downtime in between gigs, and was getting my macbook pro serviced as well. I didn't bother calling this time around and brought my receipt and my keyboard to the front desk. One of the people behind the counter let me know that they were very backed up right now, and couldn't accept any new equipment for about the next 8 weeks. Major bummer. I let them know that I was about a month from my warranty expiring, and basically asked if I could bring my board back when they weren't backed up, even if it was out of warranty, or said I'd just try one of the other places in my area. This is where they started moving way up in my book--instead of agreeing to my work around, or giving me some explanation on how they're paid by KORG for servicing products or something like that. they instead asked what was wrong with my board, and immediately took a quick look at the inputs, and even at the buttons on the keyboard. (One of my knobs had broken off). They didn't have the appropriate knob (not surprising, when I contacted KORG direct they didn't have it either since I purchased the SV-1 the same year it was released) --And these guys weren't even a parts distributor. They agreed to take my keyboard in, and look at it, and said I could call by Friday (tomorrow) to see what was up, and find out if it was going to be longer than a few days so I could redeem my keyboard if necessary. I got a call at about 1 pm today saying that my board was ready,(!!!!!!) despite their back up. I got my keyboard repaired within 24 hours of dropping it off. I don't know if it was so quick since the repair itself was easy, and I don't care. My triplicate copy of the invoice had a $50 charge that I assume they charge to Korg, but wasn't out of my pocket since I was still within warranty. I've never gotten t his kind of service from ANY type of walk in warranty, or service direct center EVER. I've worked with high school's bands, and their keyboards, and have run the gauntlet to get older keyboards fixed; having had to order keys and parts factory direct, pick stuff up directly from Yamaha's factory will call in Buena Park, and even mail products Like my Presonus Firebox off for an over priced repair. ********************************************** In all my experience dealing with the service end of pro-audio equipment I have never gotten this awesome level of service anywhere for any pro audio equipment I've needed to get serviced ever. ********************************************** For anyone that has any high end pro-audio equipment, whether it's YAMAHA or KORG or whoever else these guys are authorized to warranty or service. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend 'em. read more

Fixed my Vibro-King under warranty super fast and biased it just right. These guys seem to know what they're doing.

Paul truly knows his stuff. I brought in a Marshall 1974x Reissue to him, and he fixed it no problem. I don't know too many guys that are qualified to do this kind of work, but I can honestly that Paul's work and customer service make him overqualified for this stuff. He loves guitars and amps, and this is reflected in the great knowledge he possesses. He works very quickly and charges extremely fair prices. He only does top notch work. I still have to go back for some work, but he will not proceed with anything without your consent first. I came from Los Angeles to him because I heard he was the best. They weren't kidding. read more

Extremely great service and fair prices. If you have gear of any kind that needs fixed this where you should take it. You will be treated very well and be glad you took your gear here. Paul can fix anything and is a great guy. You will be disappointed going anywhere else. read more

I don't know How I should appreciate him and his staff . He fixed my keyboard in only two hours and also saved me from loosing gigs . UNBELIEVABLE . read more

Such a solid repair shop. I had my Marshall solid state head repaired there about 2 months ago. This week another issue happened with my input jack and I have a show coming up in a few days. I took it in and let them know it was a slight rush and they said they'll take care of it. Well I dropped it off Thursday afternoon and Friday morning I get a call saying it's fixed and it's still covered under my 90 day warranty from my first repair! Made my day. I'll be coming here for any repair I need in the future and you should too. read more

I had been having problems with my Fender amp, and had some bad experiences with the authorized Fender repair centers in my area (one told me that the noise in a 2x12" amp was a bad speaker...after replacing both speakers, they told me that no, in fact it was just a bad preamp tube [a $15 fix]). So I called Fender, and the rep told me that Paul Morte was the best tech in SoCal. As I am a working musician, and I need my gear to work consistently and reliably, I bit the bullet and made the drive from the Valley to Orange County. I had been told on the phone that there would be an approximate 2-week turnaround on service to my amp...but after describing the problem and mentioning that I drove down from the Valley because of the high recommendation, Paul said that he would take a look at my amp right then. Well, he quickly diagnosed the problem (including an incorrect component installed by a different "Fender authorized repair center" in my area), and told me he could fix it while I waited. Bonus - As it turns out, it was fixed under warranty. Paul was gracious and friendly, and we talked for a while after the repair about amp tech, tone, etc, and he demo'd another amp and speaker for me for comparison. It is very clear that he has a passion and devotion to his craft, and he is thorough, comprehensive, and totally competent and professional. When I mentioned I would give him a stellar Yelp review, he was appreciative, but said in a very unassuming, modest way "We're not arrogant enough to worry about those things." Based on the service, professionalism, courtesy, competency, kindness, and accommodation I received, I give Paul Morte Technical Services the absolute highest recommendation I can, and I will encourage everyone I know who needs such service to avail themselves of his business. A great amp/electronics tech is like a good mechanic...even if you live a ways away, they are 100% worth the drive to get it fixed correctly, and at a fair price. read more

Wow. This is one of those experiences you wish you could have everywhere you go. I contacted Paul Morte about a month ago with concerns about my SWR 750x Bass amp head. This was after contacting a couple other shops who wanted me to leave my amp and then they would charge a service fee and a repair fee after the assessment. I went to Paul Morte who upon me entering his establishment said he would take a look at the amp head on the spot. He opened the head looked in noticed there may be a tube issue, checked it through some type of device that looked like something out of back to the future. He checked and rechecked then offered to only charge for the tube. This guy was not only the nicest, courteous and most knowledgeable technical service guy I had ever had the pleasure of bringing my gear to but was easy speak with. It is obvious why he is the most recommended Technical Service company in Orange County. He knows all of the Top Cats and Players as well. Thanks Paul you rock!! read more
