It is with profound sadness & the heaviest of hearts that my beautiful wife Cindy Davis has left this world at 42 years of age. We were together 20 years & I've never seen someone fight so hard every day as she did these last 4 weeks, it was nothing short of inspirational on every level. Those who knew her knew she was an incredibly sweet & giving soul always doing for others 1st before doing for herself. She touched so many people that its impossible to calculate so please forgive me for posting verses calling each of you.
We will be announcing a date for a life celebration that will likely take place in Ithaca NY in the next 2-3 weeks. This will be open to all who were knew or were touched by her. I look forward to seeing you all there. - Trace Davis

Update – In the previous post I shared that we have an immediate family member in the ICU who was in a very bad way, that person is my wife Cindy. I have struggled with how to write this or if I should post this as we’ve made it a point to never post about personal issues, instead choosing to keep posts positive in nature. Many of you know or have come to know her through working with Cindy since she officially came on board with us in 2005 to. As such wanted to share the following with you;
On Feb 27th Cindy was taken to a local hospital & was transferred a few days later to a Specialty Intensive Care Unit in Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester NY where she has been fighting for her life.
Over all she has been diagnosed with a significant Subdural Hematoma (bleeding) on the left side of her Brain moving her brain over 1cm, Pancreatitis, Swollen Gallbladder, Liver Failure, Severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome & Acute Kidney Failure. She is presently under going 24/7 dialysis & as well as having had a Tracheotomy, which is connected to a Respirator machine that helps her to breath. She has had (2) severe Upper GI bleeds that they were able to resolve, she became unresponsive on March 8th, a feeding tube was installed & she has been receiving daily maintenance in the way of various medications.
She has had some positive gains along the way, baby steps if you will, but did become cognitively responsive on Sunday the 19th. She can slightly flicker her fingers & toes though she is unable to move the right hand of her body at this time. She has a very long road ahead of her & we will need an office person shortly to take her place.
All future postings will be in regards to Voodoo Amps & Voodoo Amps Products. We will be posting all future updates on Cindy on her Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/cynthia.davis.9440?ref=br_rs).
Regarding Business – The Voodoo Amps Production Line has not been affected. Mods & what few Hand-Builds remain have been waiting for me to return. If you have called & left messages I apologize. I have been at her side from Feb 27th until March 20th. I am back in the shop this week trying to catch up on emails, phone calls, Mods & few Hand-Wired builds. Naturally we did not see this coming not could we plan for this & I assure you we are doing all that we can to get back with everyone. I kindly ask for your patience, positive thoughts & prayers. Thank you so very much - Trace Davis, President / Founder

We have an immediate family member in the ICU in a specialist hospital who is in a very bad way. This does not affect the current Voodoo Product Line as manufacturing is still in progress but hand-wired builds & Mods will have to wait for me to return. We will update you here once we are back in the office & able to take & return phone calls. You’re welcome to email & we will respond as time allows. In the interim, any & all prayers as well as positive thoughts or mojo would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your patience & understanding during this difficult time. - Trace Davis, President / Founder

The numbers on the amps do not reflect order of preference. While these do belong to a legendary Artist we cannot yet say it is just yet but please stay tuned as we will announce it soon!

From a Facebook Post - I am not sure where to begin but it has occurred to me that we need to clarify a few things so please bear with me gang. In no particular order - We receive a great deal of correspondence from players looking for free advice on how they should go about getting the tone they are looking for with an amp made by another manufacturer. This comes in the form of asking how to Mod one’s amp, questions on the one’s over all rig, tubes, speakers, cables & so on.
To field one’s question(s) properly requires my asking several questions, your answers usually spur on more questions & the idea is to for me to determine what the course of action is that will best meet your needs. Whether it’s a phone call or several emails back-&-forth the average time invested on our part is approximately 30-45 minutes of time. Unfortunately this is not something that I can do free-of-charge. If I make an exception for one I have to make an exception for everyone & we cannot make a living working for free.
1.) In the interests of adding some clarity there is no gray area for folks;
A.) Questions pertaining to new or used Voodoo Production Models are more than welcome.
B.) Questions on Amps we have Modified in the past are also welcome but we ask that you visit ‘Voodoo Verify’ & enter the amp’s Serial Number into Voodoo Verify’ as 95% of all amps we have Modified, Serviced or Repaired are listed including dates & description of work performed (http://voodooamps.com/home/AboutUs/VerifyyourVoodoo/tabid/1016/Default.aspx).
C.) A & B are ‘free-of-charge’ but we kindly as respectfully ask that you use the resource wisely as there is only so much of me to go around (just being honest).
2.) Tonal Consultation - We do offer a Tonal Consultation Service that is available to everyone, which is $62.50 billed in (15) minute intervals or $250.00 an hour. We accept Debit or Credit Cards in the form of Visa, MasterCard, Discover & Amex. To schedule a Consultation Call you may PM us here on Facebook or through the contact page of our website (http://voodooamps.com/home/ContactUs.aspx) I would put the email address here but the 'bots' bombard us with spam-emails (no one likes spam--lol)
I realize this may be met with varying opinions by some but please know I am not trying to be disrespectful in any way & it is not my intention to offend anyone, truly & sincerely. At present I am working (7) days a week to catch up what remains of our backlog. IE: we have a select few Mods & (3) Hand Wired amp models that requires myself working on them exclusively. Our Production Line demands a great deal of my time & once the a fore mentioned orders are completed I will be dedicating my time to our current Production Line, going on the road with Artists & visiting Dealers.
We will continue to post updates-&-updates here much the same as we always have & I will chime in as time allows. I do very much enjoy interacting with you all & I cannot thank you enough for your understanding & continued support, it means the world to all of us as we put our hearts-&-soul into everything we do! Thanks so very much gang & I hope every one of you is doing well!! Back to soldering I go! :) – Trace Davis, President / Founder of Voodoo Amps

Blackberry Smoke is one of the select few that has forged their own unique sound. Founded in 2001 & often described as Southern Rock meets Country Rock, their live shows are nothing short of stunning! Having toured with such acts as Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gov't Mule & any more the band is quickly gaining popularity as one of the fore most touring acts on the scene today.
Blackberry Smoke released their fifth studio album "Like an Arrow" on October 14th, 2016 via their own record label, 3 Legged Records. The album landed at #1 on the US Billboard Country & Americana / Folk charts as well as the UK Rock & Independent Albums charts during release week. Past record labels include Southern Ground & Rounder Records.
Tone Hound - Paul Jackson has a great collection of guitars favoring Les Pauls as of late with P90's & P100's as well as Vintage Style 'PAF' humbuckers. Voodoo Amps President / Founder Trace Davis specifically designed a new circuit for Paul to match his playing style & use of vintage style pickups. Trace installed the circuit into a Marshall JCM800 2204 50 watter (see photo) complete with EL34 Power Tubes & 12AX7 Preamp Tubes.
Buy the records, go see the band live - you won't be sorry! Amazing musicianship & amazing song writing by a great Rock-N-Roll band from Georgia! 'Paul Jackson & Charlie Starr are one of the best guitar-teams I've ever worked with & its an honor to welcome Mr Paul Jackson to the Voodoo Amps Family.' - Trace Davis, President / Founder
