Blackwood Amplification

Blackwood Amplification in Mystic, Connecticut is the workshop of builder and guitarist Jami Blackwood, whose deep passion for great tone has driven him to design and hand-wire a full lineup of original guitar amplifiers. Every amp that leaves the shop is built with meticulous craftsmanship and top-tier components, reflecting the kind of standards that serious tube amp repair and electronics repair work demand. Blackwood Amplification offers custom amp builds alongside repair services, making it a solid destination for guitarists hunting down a reliable guitar tech who truly understands how these circuits work from the ground up. The model lineup spans a wide range, from the grab-and-go 5-watt Alpha 7 combo to the 50-watt JCE 50 head, plus bass amplifier options like the all-tube Nova 266. Because Blackwood designs and builds these amplifiers by hand, the shop brings a rare level of circuit-level knowledge to any amplifier repair or instrument electronics work that comes through the door.
