Vintage Tonal Bliss! - These amps were sent in so that one could be cloned to the other. These are 100 watt Super Leads from 1973 & 1974. We have installed a Post Phase Inverter Master Volume in place of one of the (4) Speaker Jacks so the customer could get cranked up vintage overdrive at any level what so ever.

These are used live as the gentleman plays in a Led Zeppelin & Jimi Hendrix Tribute bands based out of California. Lots of fun working on these & we have some other vintage amps in the queue such as a few Super Leads, (2) Plexis, (2) Majors, Magnatone & lots more!

Logged a 12 hour today, heading home to grab some food & get back into the shop early tomorrow!

Posted On Facebook  - "Gotta give it up to Voodoo Amps. The JMP-1 with the Mesa 2:90 power amp sounds pretty sick. All new SED “Winged-C” power tubes & CapJob on the 2:90 & Platinum Mod on the JMP-1 preamp. Sounds awesome. Gotta say also the packing job they did was by far the best I've ever seen from anyone hands down!" – Rick Jarret, Iowa
