Our passion is valve amps. We love them!

Valve Tube Guitar Amps stocks valves for musical instrument amplifiers, jukeboxes and hi-fi systems.

We’re based in the lovely seaside town of Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast.

Stewart, who runs this site, has decades of experience working with and repairing valve amps, and also plays guitar. He holds a 1st class honours degree in electronics engineering, matching formal theory with years of practical experience.

VTGA stocks a comprehensive range of valves and components. We test all our valves at real amp voltages on our suite of vintage, modern, and custom-built valve testers. Our array of equipment includes an LCR bridge, valve characterisation testers, signal generators, digital storage and traditional oscilloscopes, vintage AVO testers, and more. Some of our recent amp repairs include Vox AC30s, Marshalls, Fenders, bespoke amps and Chinese amps such as Bugera and Sub Zero. We have also done major amp restorations, for example, a wrecked Dynacord KV10 from 1957 which Stewart painstakingly restored to glory.

You can take advantage of Stewart’s experience and get advice on ideas to pep up your amp. We can also advise on faults and we can make suggestions to get your amp sounding its best. Just email us at info@valvetubeguitaramps.com. We are always happy to give advice.

We understand all valves are not created equal. Different brand names, even from the same factory, give you different tone colours. The challenge is so much choice and so little time! We have almost 20 variations on the ECC83 (12AX7) pin, all with differing tonal qualities. Please ask us for advice.

VTGA carries valves from JJ Electronic in Slovakia and the Saratov factory in the Russian Federation. We carry Electro Harmonix (EH), Sovtek, Genelax and Tung Sol as an official dealer. We buy direct from manufacturers and carefully test and match all the valves we sell using our love of valves and our decades of expertise to ensure the best possible quality.

We can supply most overseas countries with delivery usually under a week.

We love to hear from valve (tube) amp users, so please get in touch!

Valves arrived really quickly, meant I could get my amp back up and running in time for next band rehearsal. Sounded great! Excellent service, won’t hesitate to use again.
