Andy Fuchs long career in music and electronics is well known. From the small workshop started in his dad’s music store basement, to working on NYC’s famous “Music Row” 48th street in Manhattan, to working at many service companies around NYC, Andy has seen and serviced gear for many artists worldwide. He has worked (and still works) as a professional musician since his first gig with his dad at 17 years old, and through that, began building and modifying his own guitars and amps. After a successful career in technical sales and in systems integration and fire alarm systems, Andy returned to building and servicing amps in his home shop. Thanks to the internet, word spread and the business soon thrived and moved out of the house. Today Fuchs Audio is in an awesome 1920’s factory building in Clifton New Jersey
Andy has tapped his years of experience as a working musician, as well as servicing and tweaking guitar and bass amps for many famous clients as diverse as Carlos Santana through jammers like Jimmy Herring, including jazz legends like Dave Stryker for over 40 years as inspiration for our new bass amps. Fuchs’ 20-year list of reviews and endorsers is truly impressive to say the least.
Perhaps best known for the ODS Classic, Andy’s take on the famed Dumble Amps. The Fuchs ODS-Classic represents Andy Fuchs’ goal to take over 15 years of design evolution and customer feedback on the original Overdrive Supreme platform into the next millennium.
Now Fuchs Amplification is taking the next step in the future of tube amps. With Andy’s new line of Hybrid guitar & bass amps, such as the ODH & FBT heads.
Fuchs Amps embodies many technical and circuit innovations from the past. Combined with hands on experience fixing the issues they developed over time. Andy’s sole goal is to provide a unique sonic experience that not only sounds great, but feels great and encourages you to play more!

EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Jordan Ellmore13 February 2025 Excellent, fast, easy service, Highly recommend! My guitar is a whole new animal with its new emerson custom wiring harness installed A++ Andrew Welch6 February 2025 Provides an excellent niche service. Sometimes I wish there were a lot more details available on the website or the ability to track delivery (mine took months due to backordered components) but in the end Brad came through and it's highly recommended as the go to shop for NZ mods! Graeme Bull3 February 2025 Very pleased with purchase and service. Super fast courier, will be back! Austyn Mills24 January 2025 I ordered a set of Lollar pickups from Brad and had him install them in my Tele - the difference in tone is night & day, great comms throughout and overall a very fun process. Can't wait to come back for the next mod - thanks so much man! Colin Lawrence10 January 2025 Brad was very knowlegeable and helpful as always. I have purchased several necks for my Tele and Strat builds and they have been of really good quality and apart from relief setting to personal taste, they have required no extra finishing. Brian Clark6 January 2025 Excellent product, shipping 2 thumbs up Logan Andrew3 January 2025 Great service.

Brads also a wealth of knowledge for advice... Tone Merchants is now my new go to for guitar parts. Tim Brown10 December 2024 Brad is a real gem for the guitar world. Super helpful and a wealth of knowledge. Marcel Reinen10 November 2024 Bought a shiny new Magellen 800 recently from Tony @ Tone Merchants, because I needed more power for my Barefaced Big Twin II cab, particularly when running my 5 string Fender Jazz. I've used it on a variety of gigs and this amp is insane. Never gone louder than halfway, with headroom to burn. The sound is clear and tight and as a bonus the DI feed for my IEM's is super clean. Couldn't be happier with this amp. No need to look anywhere else!
