Voodoo Amps Modified Talkbox – We got a couple more of these in this past week & as I walked by this morning on my way to make some coffee for everyone, I realized I never posted this. A couple weeks ago Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses / The Dead Daisies) posted a photo of his pedal board & this is the same circuit we are installing into the Framptone Talkbox.

IE: For those who own a Framptone Talkbox we can make it more reliable as well as making it full range along with a compression circuit to protect the driver (no more blown drivers) & also protect the fillings in your teeth, IE: this will not rattle your fillings loose so no worries that way.

 

 

Have a great St Patrick’s Day everyone!

Customer Feedback - "Hi Trace, I bought a Les Paul this weekend at the House Of Guitars in Rochester NY. I went thru a bunch of them & had to play thru stock Marshalls & Mesa's. The disappointment with the tone of those amps was astounding to me. They all sounded like A$$! So I picked out a nice Blue 120th anniversary Studio Les Paul & as soon as I got home, ran to the rehearsal room & cranked it up. Oh man what a difference! I was extremely pleased with the guitar & the wicked awesome tone of my amp! Its heaven! Still love my Voodoo, never disappoints me and I haven't lusted over another amp since. Thanks Trace!" - Scott Fletcher, Kings Ferry, NY

Note: Amp is a JCM800 2205 Model w/ HG-Jose Mod

Richie Blackmore’s long time tech Dawk Stillwell stopped by a couple weeks ago for a visit. We were chatting about these amps, Richie’s rig in the Deep Purple & Rainbow days & more. As I was walking through the shop this morning this ’73 Major caught my eye again. As there were only about 600 of these amps made I wondered “How many have seen inside one of these?” I thought I would snap a quick photo of this rare beauty & share it with you. Have a great day! – Trace Davis, President / Founder

Have a toneful day!

If you have a tube in your amp that looks like this, you have a faulty power tube. Turn the amp off & take it to a tech to be serviced/checked over thoroughly. IE: The reason we are posting this is that we often receive phone calls & emails asking is this is normal for a tube to glow a bright orange/red, we thought we would share this with you & let you know that this is not normal.

You may be asking yourselves, “Why are you taking a picture & not turning the amp off?” In part to show you what this looks like so you can identify this in the future & also this is a Marshall JCM2000 Series & as you can see, the fuse did blow when a tube fails/shorts.

We have run all the necessary tests & a power tube is in fact faulty/shorted. Please note there are other ways a power tube can short where it lights up & visually appears fine, it looks power white at the top of the tube, etc. Thanks for reading this far & feel free to share or send this to your friends so others can see what this kind of failure looks like. Have a great evening!
