Back in the Shop from Nashville - We traveled to Nashville to work with Australian based band Airbourne in the legendary RCA Recording Studio A where they are currently recording their next record with producer Dave Cobb. We brought several amps with us & worked on several other amps. Having been present for some writing & arranging as well as having heard a track that they cut while playing live off the studio floor, I have to say that tones were nothing short of amazing!

I would like to send out a special thanks to band & all involved; Joel O'Keeffe (guitarist, singer), Harri Harrison (guitarist), Ryan O'Keeffe (drums), Justin Street (bassist), Dave Cobb (Producer), Toby Hulbert (engineer), Colin Lot (Assistance Engineer), Gregg Donovan & Don Friedricksen. It was great to see & be involved in such a strong & positive work ethic!

A very special thanks to those who were kind enough to meet with us, have lunch or dinner with us or coffee; David Graef, Scott Appleton, Aidan Mullen, Steve Burdick, Steve Davis, Jimmy Freck & Matt at Metal Road Cases, all at Artisan Guitars in Franklin TN, Carters Vintage Music, Vintage King, Rumble Seat Music, British Audio Service & Music, Sweetwater Music & Michelangelo's Restaurant in Cleveland.

Thanks so very much & back to soldering I go! Don't forget to do a kindness for someone along the way & feel free to share as you like. - Trace Davis, President / Founder

Joe Perry of Aerosmith's 2019 Live Rig! See Details Below --- Towards the end of January I traveled to Aerosmith's rehearsal complex in Boston MA to get Joe's Live Rig ready for 2019. The rig photo was taken during the Super Bowl show they played. We have more behind the scenes photos we took as I was working on the rig & we'll post those shortly. Below are the details on the amps & most of the gear we worked on;

1 - Voodoo Custom Modified Marshall Super PA Amp designed to match Joe's playing style with Voodoo Post Phase Inverter Master Volume.

2 & 3 - Voodoo Custom Modified Fender Dual Showman Head designed to match Joe's playing style with Voodoo Post Phase Inverter Master Volume.

4 - Voodoo Amps Custom 'JP30' - Joe has always loved the sound of a Vox AC30 2x12 mixed with older Marshalls but the AC30's could not keep up with the 100 watt Marshalls. Using a V-Plex chassis & panel set we custom designed a circuit to simulate the tone of an AC30 complete with Voodoo Designed Mercury Magnetics Transformers complete & (4) EL34 power tubes to provide 100 watts. His tech placed the yellow sticker "30" under the V-Plex logo.

5 - Voodoo Amps Hand-Wired V-Plex 100 Watt with Post Phase Inverter Master Volume with EL34's. This is an older V-Plex, which is easy to spot as given the Gold Circle-V emblem, Gold knobs & the gold etched metal panels.

6 - Voodoo Amps 4x12" Speaker Cabinet with matching Gold metal Circle-V emblem. This cabinet is loaded with Celestion G12H-55 30 watt Heritage Greenbacks & wired to 16ohms. Note - Other speaker cabinets have an X-Pattern of Alnico Creambacks & Alnico Golds. Others have original vintage Greenbacks.

7 - Voodoo Custom Modified Marshall 1959. This amp was in rough shape when we first received it as it had been badly Modified several times. We stripped the amp & installed a hand-wired board & with a Custom Circuit designed for Joe's playing style.

Special thanks to Joe Perry, Joe's Guitar Tech Marco Moir, Johnny B, Bobby Schneck, Greg Howard & crew! Photo credit to Marco Moir
