I've been recording and playing live in the Pittsburgh music scene for almost 10 years, and in that time I have become a self-confessed tone snob. I love the warmth, tone, and simplicity of vintage tubes amps and incorporate these aspects into my own amp designs. Inspired by classic circuits like the oft forgotten Fender Harvard and early Gibson amps, my current signature line features Tweed-style power amps with pentode-based preamps.

I started TRVR Handwired Electronics because I am passionate about quality workmanship in all of the gear that I play. I can guarantee your amp or pedal with utmost confidence because I have personally designed your circuit layout, wired and soldered your components by hand, and tested the final product by playing it. I source my parts from manufacturers who care as deeply about quality and longevity as I do; many of these companies are small, family-owned businesses like mine.

After spending hours at the bench repairing hundreds of instruments, I am convinced that modern brand-name manufacturers are more interested in their bottom line than producing products that have the musician's interests in mind. My respect for the quality craftsmanship of vintage amps and effects continues to grow and has considerable influence over my designs. I'm excited to apply my knowledge of vintage amp designs to my signature line, and to work with you personally to build a custom amp or pedal to your exact specifications.

Thanks for your interest in excellent tone!
