Some things are built to last. Others just refuse to be forgotten.
Riddim Restoration started as a way to bring life back to the pieces that still had a song left in them—amps with a story, circuits with soul, and ideas waiting to be heard. Over time, it became something more. Not just restoration, but reinvention. Not just fixing, but crafting.
Now, each build is a unique creation, shaped by experience, intention, and the pursuit of something beyond the ordinary. Every amp is designed to be an extension of the player—alive, responsive, and completely unique.
You won’t find Riddim amps in a store. They don’t roll off an assembly line. They find their way into the hands of those who listen differently, who chase tones that can’t be bought, only built.
Some projects start with an idea. Some with a conversation. And some, well—some just seem meant to be.
If you know, you know.
Electronics have been at my fingertips ever since I got into trouble for disassembling my sister’s brand-new Happy Meal digital watch. My parents quickly nicknamed me “Button Pusher” because I couldn’t resist the allure of their friends' stereo equipment. After university, armed with the confidence that I could take anything apart and put it back together, I landed a dream job (for a button pusher) working controls in the cockpit of a stealth jet.
But over years of traveling the globe, working on and repairing high-stakes corporate projects, I realized something was missing. My heart wasn’t in the chase—it was in creation. I decided it was time to refocus, devoting my energy to something unique and artistically fulfilling. That’s how Riddim Restoration was born: a place where stereo consoles and vintage guitar amplifiers are revived from the dusty corners of basements and brought back to life, ready to become the heart of family gatherings and musical moments once again.
