Welcome to Voyce Electronics UK,where hopefully your search for great guitar tone ends.
I do many things in the guitar world,but mainly i specialise in custom "one off" boutique amps for professional guitarists that get a bit nervous lugging their expensive vintage or boutique amps about.Using only the finest components on the planet,along with my extensive experience,i replicate the tone and give them an amp that can be easily serviced with available parts.Check out the custom built amp page for more info.
I also build authentic classics like the Tweed deluxe 5E3 and JTM 45 amps etc.
Personally,i think they can't be beat for tone when built right.Lenny Kravitz summed it up in an interview with the guitar centre...
GC: There has been a lot of talk about the retro sound you capture on your albums. Are there any techniques or tricks that you use to capture that old style sound?
Lenny: "There's definitely an old school element to my music, but I also think it's modern as well. You know, it's funny, we were playing with some people once and they said, "Wow, how did you get that tone and that effect?" And I said, "Well, you plug an Epiphone into a tweed Deluxe and you turn it up to ten and that's it." It's just using classic pieces of gear that sound great, straight. That's what gets that sound. It is what it is".
Obviously,Lenny is using an original with paper layer transformers,carbon composite resisistors and pine cabinet etc.If you find another amp builder in the U.K that includes all these essential top parts in their so-called replicas,then let me know.I will eat my hat at the least.
I also rebuild,modify and hand-wire many of the lower cost valve amps in circulation and turn them into real jaw droppers.Check out the modification page for examples of Fender champion 600's and pro juniors with hand-wired turret boards and transformer upgrades.
Wether you want a custom amp like a replica JTM 45/Tweed deluxe,your own Chinese amp modified or hand-wired,or even a repair,use the contact form page and i will give you a quote on price as quickly as possible.
Custom amps take 4 weeks maximum,and rebuilt/modded amps take 2 weeks maximum.These timescales can go up or down depending on demand.
About me.
I have been building guitar and bass amplifiers my entire working life.I started off as self taught in electronics,but eventually ended up in university studying electronics.
Most of the tricks i learned though,were from a guy that used to sort out the Rolling stones and all their gear,and i feel blessed for that,as most of it is a lost art these days concerning valve technology.
I like to think of myself as one of the few techs still around that gives guitarists what they have probably always searched for.

I have recently joined facebook,so it would be cool if you liked my page and help spread the great British amp tone.This website is mostly static and never changes,but the facebook page acts as a kind of modern diary for recent stuff.
