Customer Feedback "Before the mod the amp was very muddy, smeary and impossible to hear or pick out individual notes within the chords. After the Deluxe Mods the amp has more headroom, more fluid over all and easier to play. The cleans have depth and are very bell like or chimey on the high end. The gain channel rules! The bass is chunkier without being floppy or woofy. Bending strings and vibrato are much easier now. Get the mod done & you'll be glad you did (I know I am!)" - Jamie Kennedy, VA
Customer Feedback "It still sounded great, but different--not nearly as fuzzy. I was also surprised at how much the clean channel had improved. Gobs more headroom. Back in my studio, I was very happy with the result. Listen to the clips on the Voodoo website for an idea of what the Voodoo mods sound like in general. Trace goes for a particular character of distortion, but the basic tone still sounds like a Boogie. The mods are expensive--no two ways about it. But for my money, I got what was promised, and quickly. The amp sounds great!
It wasn't until I was back on stage with the band and cranking it up a bit that I was rewarded with leads that cut through without losing that Mesa responsiveness. Alleluia! I could hear my guitar again! The crunch was still crunchy, the thump was still thumpy, and the squeals were still squealy, but I could hear them all much better And the clean channel was AWESOME. Trace says it's the MM OT that makes the big difference there. The Voodoo mods will change the character of the distortion coming out of your amp, but if you're getting lost in the stage mix and you'd like a little more clean out of the Recto clean channel, Trace will take care of you.
I've been at this guitar thing for over 30 years, so I've bought my share of stuff! This amp was great before the mods, but now it's great on stage, too--exactly what I needed. If I ever buy another amp and it, too, needs assistance in cutting through the stage mix, I'm calling Voodoo Amps. It's gotten a lot of playing hours in 5 months and has been as solid as a rock." - Philip Passero, NY - Harmony Central Reviews
