Feedback & Review from Craig Wells of Metal Church!  - "Dear Trace & Voodoo Amps; Got to let you know how very pleased I am with your awesome Custom HG-Jose Mod. Thanks for the great advice & help on getting a new awesome amp! I did not know where to start and consider myself fortunate to have your help. I love that this amp is perfect for writing & recording at my home DAW, for recording in the studio & I think will be awesome live when the time comes!

A Marshall 1959 SLP 100 watt with custom added half power switch for home use, 3 custom Gain Modes on a 3-way mini toggle, Gain-1 & Gain-2 Gain controls & a Master Volume, Push/Pull Bright Switch on Gain-1, your Bottom Control for bass fullness at low volume (or any volume!) & the crème de la crème Voodoos Custom Jose High-Gain Mod as well as your Hand Wired Tube Buffered FX Loop!

All I can say is "Wang Dang Sweet Plexi Tang"!!! I am sure Uncle Ted would approve of this multi talented monster head! I am blown away by all the awesome tones, crunchy, brown, hard rock & screaming wailing metal! And I would have never guessed the clean sound would be so spectacular. Big chime sound with golden tone, sounds like piano strings - never saw that coming. This is a single channel amp that does it all & sounds amazing while doing it, I guess I was just thinking it would be a one trick metal pony high gain killer, but man what a great surprise.

Easiest Marshall I have ever played, it really helps me play better, you really have a great knack for tuning a tube amp. The Midrange control is great, it gets fat & mean, not honky & scratchy, the Treble is crystal clear & not spike’y, really great & the Push/Pull Bright control really adds the JCM800 thump & it gives a crushing bite to my rhythm tone.

Thanks for the extra work you did recapping & it is great to see that your ideas on solving my needs worked out so great, it is awesome to have someone set you up for success which is what you have done for me! Got to run, Thanks again!" - Craig Wells of Metal Church

Customer Feedback  "Trace: I again took your advice and purchased a JMP-1 with a Voodoo Platinum Mod … all I can say is where the "F" have you been all my life - your ear is #@!! awesome as are your mods … you are the man - I love playing this stuff!!! Hey seriously I've worked with some of the "best" tone guys - ha - you smoke them" - Gary Dvorkin

"Thanks for the overly kind words & support Gary, it's greatly appreciated but the truth is that I'm just a regular guy who is obsessed with tone, much the same as all of our customers. I am very happy to hear the Platinum Mod is working well for you & I hope it inspires you! All the best to you Gary & we thank you for your business!"   - Trace Davis, President / Founder

Please help us give a warm welcome Voodoo Endorsee & one of the creators of the early 80's Thrash Metal genre, Mr Craig Wells of Metal Church!

Metal Church is one of the favorite Thrash Metal bands on VH1 Classic’s “That Metal Show”. Founded in 1980, Metal Church was formed in San Francisco, California & less than 1 year later relocated to Aberdeen, Washington briefly using the name "Shrapnel”. The band is credited as a formative influence on what we now know as the 80's Thrash Metal genre, which has influenced countless Modern Metal bands. Their eponymous first album "Metal Church" was released in 1984, just a few short months after Metallica's 1st album release "Kill'em All."

Craig Wells co-wrote many songs with fellow guitarist & founding member guitarist Kurdt Vanderhoof. Craig is featured as a rhythm / lead guitarist on the following Metal Chruch records;

Stay tuned for Craig’s 1st Solo release!

David plays for the "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno & has also played with Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Keb Mo, Bob Dylan, Marcus Miller, Mary J. Blige, Brian McKnight, Michael Bolton, Quincy Jones, Joe Sample, Paul Jackson Jr (Tonight Show) Whitney Houston, American Idol Band, America's Got Talent & more!

"Hi Trace, I'm not usually very eloquent when speaking about gear, I often get overly emotional or not interested at all. Well, the mods that you guys at Voodoo have done to my JMP-1 brought me from feeling indifferent to feeling like a crack head!! I now want to send all 3 of my Marshall heads your way for the same fix! 

Since I only have one unit (JMP-1) at the moment, I don't even use it at the show. I keep it in my studio for recording & any really fun stuff as I'm only on the set on "The Tonight Show" for 1 hour or so & it's a waste to have it just sit there the other 23 hours ~!!~

As soon as I get a 2nd unit it WILL be a part (and main "go to" box) of my stage rig for TV. I'll let the specifics of tone & player response be worded by other more verbose individuals...I'd like to get back to blazing through this thing :) I hope you can find some quotes, or use it all if you like :) My biggest endorsement is to actually USE a companies products & you guys do great work. Thank YOU!"

Peace,
David Delhomme  (d'l'oHm)
Guitarist & Keyboards for "The Tonight Show Band"
