"Power Scaling not only works, it works really well. If you want to hear your amp breathing properly at conversation levels and get improved recorded tone, then it maybe the answer."

What we do

  • We offer a service modifying valve guitar amplifiers to improve reliability and bring out the amplifiers full potential to give great tone to suit the player's style.
  • We specialise in fitting Power Scaling™ to almost any valve amplifier to allow pre-amp and output tube break-up and distortion at  low volumes using circuits and techniques developed by London Power.  
  • If you have to play smaller venues, play at home or need to mic up your amp and want to get the overdrive tones you get at high volumes, Power Scaling™ is the answer.
    see the Power Scaling™ FAQ's
  • We can modify your amp or supply a modified amp.

"Power Scaling
not only works, it works really well.

Both amps instantly
sounded smoother and more
dynamic at any volume level.
Remarkably this was
maintained from full power to
zero output.
