Testimonials
Here are a selection of testimonials from Dave's very happy customers. You'll notice some of these are from other repair shops who have lent on Dave's expertise when he was the senior service engineer at Marshall Amplification and amazingly are happy to endorse him even though he is technically the competition. But the servicing community is like this and want their customers to find the best people close to home and specialists for their needs:
As one of the best musical amplification engineers in the UK Dave Wittering of Prestige Amp Servicing comes highly recommended by Ampguy. I have known Dave for more than 20 years as a friend and fellow repairer, over that time he has been tremendously helpful with his immense knowledge of Marshall stock faults and general information.
Dave came from a background in TV and radio servicing, and that route is one of the best for electronic engineering because it requires quick lateral thinking, after all nobody wants to be without their TV!
So if you have a problem with your amplifier, call Dave, you won't be disappointed.

I have had the pleasure of David's servicing bestowed upon my amps several times over the past few years. As I write this, I can say with certainty that whenever I need any equipment looking at, David is the first person I think of. The reason why: he is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to vintage valve/audio equipment, and his attention to detail is really impressive. My amps have always come back with any issues fixed promptly, as well as sounding better. Beyond the physical capabilities David has in this field, he is a genuine bloke who I would struggle to have a bad time with. Kind, honest, informative, down to earth, no nonsense engineer that will look after you and your gear. Would highly recommend his services, and will continue to return to David whenever I need an expert looking at my equipment 👍

I have known Dave for about 10 years. During which time I have always found him to be very helpful in making my amplification equipment very usable..He has always found the faults with any of my equipment and has modified some to make them perform better. With Dave you will always get a great personal service from someone who knows what he is doing and who will tell you exactly what is needed to repair your equipment.
All the very best

Dave has overhauled several 1950's record players for me. His quality of work is faultless. I play in a 1950's Rock'n'Roll band, the Fireballs UK. Dave has serviced our two Fender Twin Reverb guitar amps and the standard of his work is once again, first class. He is always extremely helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with.

"Dave has come to my rescue twice, once for a blown transformer - which was replaced the same day, and then going over and above rebuilding a 60s valve amp - which now sounds amazing! Highly recommended!

I purchased a used fender deluxe reverb that had background hum and a noisy pedal socket. Dave sorted both problems perfectly, the amp is now very quiet and sounds incredible. There was great communication and he gave me lots of great advice. I will definitely be taking all my future amps to him for services and repairs. Lee Brimble
