About Us...
Founder, Phil Delahaye was the senior engineer at Roland UK from 1988 to 1996.
Delatronics Ltd was registered in England in 1996 as a Roland authorised Service Centre. After 13 years trading in the UK and at the start of the recession, in 2010 Delatronics relocated to Curitiba Brazil and became authorised by the majority of Pro MI manufacturers via the various importers (Roland, Shure, Marshall, Fender, Behringer, Korg, Yamaha, Sennheiser, Hartke, Presonus and many more). Delatronics eventually employed more staff and moved to larger premises.
Unfortunately in May 2013, Phil suffered a near fatal motorcycle accident on the way home from work and required extensive surgery, which prevented his two legs and right arm being amputated. In 2015, it was necessary to return to the UK to have specialist surgery which was not available in Brazil (During recuperation, the skills for modifying CD players and repairing tape machines were honed).
In 2020, Phil returned to Brazil with his family for further medical treatment, but was not able to work. By the end of 2022 but still on crutches, Delatronics was reformed in Brazil and gained a good reputation once more, focusing more on valve guitar amplifiers and studio PA.
In July 2024, Delatronics has returned to the UK and is based in Milton Keynes, and ready to repair and service many makes and types of equipment; Contact us on 07748 330791 or WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram on the links below.
