Who the heck is Mike Franceschini?
Classic Amp is Mike Franceschini. When I count the top amp techs on the planet on one hand Mike is one of those folks. Mike Franceshini is the guy at the top of my list.
If I were to list a fraction of the players rigs he takes care of this page would be way too long to display unless you have a 6mb internet connection. A few of the amp companies Mike has been with are; GT (Groove Tubes), Rivera, VHT, Bogner, Diezel / Salwender, CAE (Custom Audio Electronics) and is currently the head tech brain trust over at 65amps.
Mike does the repair work for folks like SIR, The Amp Shop, Vintage Gear in Hollywood, Lon Cohen, History For Hire (check out their Vox Book, Mike was deeply involved in the technical aspects of the book), and this is another list that would also go on and on and on.
Mike does repair work, mods, consulting, tour support and just about anything else you can think of when it comes to guitar and bass amps. (Did I mention that he is THE SVT master?)
You can contact Mike at ampservice@yahoo.com
