Revolver Amps Charlers "Crash" Prest uses junk parts, takes deposits then doesent deliver on the merch, has had lots of paypal disputes, Police have been involved to get $$ & gear returned, a complete scam, now in Austin, Texas avoid him selling low grade parts, & products, taking deposits, then not delivering products, poor quality work Austin, Texas

he's not a joy to work with and anybody that works with him will

tell you he's arrogant, and at times threatening.

I'd love to know his criminal background.  Secondly I think you are Charles Prest because nobody in their right mind would say hes a joy to work with.

I purchased a Deluxe Amp from Mr. Prest two years ago. Mr Prest is a joy to deal with and goes out of his way to make sure the customer is completely satisfied. He is completely above board with the parts used in all new equipment and repair work. I also had an Amp modified by Mr. Prest as well. Every person I know that has dealt with Mr. Prest holds him in the highest regard. I would do business with Mr. Prest today. The quality and price for his work is totally outstanding.

I want to say that I am not associated with Mr. Charles Prest in any manner other than I was a customer. 

I purchased an AB763 amplifier kit from Charles Prest of Revolver Amps.  I ordered it and paid for it in Late August, and began inquiring about it in late September.  Mr. Prest only sporadically responded to my inquiries, but when he did he was personable and always indicated that I would get my order.  During this period (when communication from Mr. Prest was sketchy) I had googled him in order to try to find another number.  In doing so I discovered this site.  Based on the report on this site I  became alarmed as it sounded like I was getting the beginning of what others said that they had experienced. 

However, I received my order yesterday as contracted and with some extra parts and labor thrown in.  Mr. Prest delivers, he is just not fast.  Also, everything in my kit was of the highest quality.  The Hoffman board was very expertly soldered (the guy can really solder) and all the components were as ordered and of the highest quality.  Mr. Prest even installed the transformers and did some other extra work at no cost to me.

I ended up being embarrassed because I became so frantic after reading the material on this site about Mr. Prest.  Mr. Prest makes high-quality BOUTIQUE amps.  If I wanted a production amp (at much lower quality) that would have been delivered in  a week or two after order, I should have gone to the music store and bought a production-level Fender.  As it is, I had to wait a little longer, but it was worth it. I will have a true point to point wired BOUTIQUE quality amplifier.   

I also run a small business and sometimes I get behind.  Maybe Mr. Prest gets behind, but based on my experience he delivers what he says he will.  All I can say is that I am embarrassed I did not believe in him and thought ill of him.  He may not be the fastest or most communicative businessman, but he does what he says he will do.  If I need something else, I plan to do business with him again.

I own a Revolver Amp and have known Charles Prest for 3 years. His amps match up with any hand built amp on the market. The circuit board on my amp looks like a work of art and the components are the best - Mercury Magnetics transformers, for example. The amp I bought was not built for me, and so could be considered a 'floor model' but it is built like a tank and I have had no problems with it using it to play out as much as 3 times a week for the last two years. In addition Charles came up with a great mod for my amp at a very reasonable price when I wanted it to sound more like a Fender (it is a Plexi).
