Customer Feedback  "The description of the mod at Voodoo Amps is spot on. One of the main things I noticed right off is I had to ease up on my finger pressure while playing. All that is needed is a light touch. I have never had an amp respond like that. Harmonics are easy to get. It sounds better at lower volume. The whole amp is more open. Clean channel is beautiful. Each channel is just harmonically rich now. Before the mod it was stiff, less warm and a bit fizzy. No more fizz. Its frigg'n amazing boosted! Unbelievable tone and feel for a DSL." - Solarburn, Harmony Central Amps Forum

Customer Feedback  "The FX-Loop Mod was a MASSIVE improvement, it used to have so much hiss that I had given up using the loop entirely, almost no noise at all now." - Mike Davis, PA

Customer Feedback  "Sweet, dirty, nasty....God damned....T-O-N-E!!!!!! Trace is THE MAN!! Super duper cool in returning email and also a nice guy on the phone....he took what I put down on email and put it into the amp and sent her back to me!" - Paul Balmer, Harmony Central Review

Customer Feedback  "Wow, I actully love my sound for once. I had the output transformer put in too. It makes a difference.. I play mostly rock and I'm a lead player. The distortion on this amp is nice and dirty, but with tons of clarity and sustain. Single notes sound huge, chords sound clear and full. The clean is so Fender and the clean crunch is perfect for classic rock or playing some Radiohead kinda stuff. The guys at Voodoo were very helpfull and explained every detail to me. Very nice and honest." - Harmony Central Review

Customer Feedback  "The amp in it's stock form had a decent clean channel, but sterile sounding and no real punch. The OD channel in the first stage was very buzzy and overcompressed sounding and forget about the second stage, just a lot of fuzzy mush and no articulation at all. Well, after Trace got a hold of it and worked his magic, LOOK OUT!! The sound is incredible!! The Clean channel in mode one has just come alive! It's clean, shimmering and has lots of punch. In the Crunch mode, it's no longer muddy and compressed when overdriven and reminds me of my old JCM 800 2203. Real nice and Crunchy!!" - Dino, Harmony Central Review

Customer Feedback  "Trace was totally excellent. We started out with a batch of bad power tubes and after that was resolved the amp works and SOUNDS awesome. The tubes were not Traces fault and he did everything that could be done to rectify (no pun intended) the situation. He responded to my every e-mail(there were a bunch of these LOL) and he answered my every question. The amp turned out excellent and was a great investment. Highly recommended!! Have Trace mod an amp for you and spend your time PLAYING instead of searching for a sound. In it's modded form it is exactly what i was looking for- Thanks Trace!" - Randy Jacobson, Harmony Central Review

Customer Feedback  "Well I tell ya, Trace did what ever I wanted to do to this head. He worked side by side with me and NEVER lost interest once. Thanks Trace. I felt the amp sounded good before the mod but had no personality or feel. That is where and what Trace did for me. The amp all of a sudden came alive and responded. Very smooth and articulate. Great job all around. This guy has got something every player wants; TONE. Like I said, I went to his shop three times to have him taylor it to my needs and it was incredible that he could do whatever I said. Thanks Trace!!" - Jerry, Harmony Central Review

Customer Feedback  "It has all of the characteristics that I enjoyed from the amp, but had everything else I wished it could have. The clean is sparkling and delicate, when I engage the crunch it doesn't get all overcompressed anymore....the notes actually have some sort of defintition! The overdrive channel has improved 10 fold. Just AMAZING!!!" - Paul Balmer, Harmony Central Review
