Suspending Modifications – Covid has brought about a great deal of change as well as on going challenges in every industry. For us supply chain issues has been an on going problem and we have been doing our best to manage it. A vast majority of the work we do is for the pros and we’ve tried to reserve approximately 10% for the general public.

 

 

After a 2 year break due to the pandemic all national and international touring artists are in preparations for 2023 as it is expected to be one of the busiest touring years in decades. Additionally in 2023 we will be releasing the high quality PCB equipped Dual Lead Series amp line. As such the demand on my time has never been greater and there is not enough of me to go around. As July 27th 2022 we are suspending Modifications to the public until further notice. We will be finalizing all in house orders by the end of December 2022. 

 

 

Modification Warranties are still 100% valid. Warranty claims will go through our good friend and all around amazing amp tech Mr. Lane Sparber who resides in Long Island, NY. 

 

 

On a personal note, I founded the company in 1998 out of a spare bedroom of an apartment with the modest goal of bringing Pro Tone to the public. Over the years we have pushed the envelope on the Modification Business and I am so very proud of the work we have done. We’ve established amazing relationships and in many cases forged life long friendships with so many of you that there simply aren’t words for how truly grateful I am for that. With extreme gratitude please let me say thank you for your continued support, it means everything to me and more. – Trace Davis, President / Founder

Dave Murray of Iron Maiden – I am both honored & humbled to be able to tell you that the legendary Dave Murray has (2) Voodoo Amps Platinum Modified JMP-1 preamps he’s been using on the most current run of Maiden’s 2017 ‘Book of Souls’ tour. Dave’s Guitar Tech Mr Colin Price was kind enough to snap this close-up photo for which we are so very grateful (thank you Colin!) Maiden is among one of a select few artists that can still sell out the biggest venues in the world & that is truly impressive on every level. We are so very proud that in some small way we were able to be a part of Dave’s tone. As always please feel free to share as you & please do a kindness for someone along the way – Trace Davis, President / Founder

Spent last night with Jake E Lee & the gang in Obsenic Arts Studio as they were rehearsing & writing for the new record. We dropped off a Customized Voodoo V-Rock for Jake & sat in while they jammed through their new material. Many will be happy to know that this new album will be a return to the blues'ier riff-based rock Jake is so well known for but with some amazing twists & turns! Here's a quick pic of Jake playing the Voodoo Modded Marshall through a vintage '85 Les Paul Custom that we fully re-did the electronics from top to bottom. He also has an arsenal of vintage guitars at his disposal & a new prototype signature series guitar that harks back the 'Ulimate Sin' touring days. Jake is at the peak of his powers, he's playing better than ever & the new songs are amazing! Made a pit stop for coffee in PA & heading back out on the road to try to get ahead of the winter storm! - Trace Davis, President / Founder

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.

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 - Charlie Starr has an amazing collection containing several 50's & early 60's Les Paul Junior's. He has a love for older Les Pauls, Teles & used them live. A true tone meister in every respect, Charlie's live rig is a combination of older vintage gear joined with the very best boutique gear available including a brand new Voodoo Amps 'V-Plex' half stack, complete with EL34's & Custom Tolex. The straight 4x12" speaker cabinet is loaded with Celestion G12H-55 Heritage Greenbacks.

AC/DC - Here's a great video with Stevie Young & my good friend & Stevie's Guitar Tech Mr Greg Howard! You'll see some of the gear I worked on in this video in passing & the roadcase marked 'Off Stage Technical Department' was with me daily. Stevie plays like Mal & point of fact he is using Mal's rig & guitars. Most do not believe this but when Greg shows you what Stevie's guitar pics look like after 1 song - this is 100% real & I witnessed it. Both Stevie & Mal's tone comes from how hard they hit the 12ga strings & the amps react accordingly. This is a big part of the AC/DC rhythm sound, yes the amps help (goes without saying--lol) but the attack & the guitar also comprise what you hear coming off that side of the stage! Hope you enjoy the video! - Trace Davis, President / Founder ‪
