Trace is one of the nicest human beings ever! I had one of his “Hex” circuits built into an old Bogen PA tube head with two 6L6’s back in 2002 before Voodoo started really taking off…it was a fire breathing monster & nailed the tone that I had been hearing for years in my head! I’m so glad to see him getting some love here… 👏👏👏
For those who might be interested, there's a Voodoo moddded Dual rect solo head (deluxe modded) with a wooden headshell that has been sitting for a while on markeplace in Edmunston NB, Canada. Currently asked price 1900$ US / 2500$ CND
I appreciate the love for mods and boutique gear. At the same time the low price pedals and basic guitars being in the chain make it apparent that eq at different points in the recording process make way more difference to the sound than some magical high dollar mod some dude does to some caps or resisters in an amp.
rammstein also used modded mesa triaxis and ps1 pre amps.. i have a voodoo modded ada mp-1, some of the first mods they have done back than and i still prefer this over almost every other tube based preamp i have bought and sold over the last decades..cheers 🎸🎸
Watching Fluff do all these Mesa Recto vids really makes me miss the Triple Rec I used to have. Regret getting rid of it almost 10 years ago. It wasn't anything special, just an early 2000s model but that was THE amp to have back then and I was so stoked when I got it. Maybe I can have one again someday
I have an 2000's dual rec that I felt the same way about, but eventually fell out of love it with and debated selling for years but recently I was looking for a different sound in my band and brought it out and I'm smitten again. Really glad I didn't sell it.
I had my dual rec voodoo deluxe modded. Have since sold it. Where I REALLY heard the big difference was in the orange channel. Went from never using the orange channel to it being my main rhythm channel.
A-MA-ZING TONE. This combo MM/recto/whatever OD you're using is just sounding almost perfect (as perfect as it can be through whatever i'm listening to this), clean is also nice ish, but that dirt, mmmmh, tasty...
Trace Davis and the folks at Voodoo Amps. Good people. I have had two V-Rocks. I now only have the combo I had built some 15 odd years ago. Their mods are generally well received.
Love my FJA modded heads, 3ch Dual Rect, & Marshall 6100. Amazing stuff. With the Rect Cleans way better, added a depth knob, gain boost, and compression boost. + the usual transformer replacemnet ect. On the Marshall transformer upgrade and added a output transformer and made some tweeks, Sounds are the best 3 ch marshall I have heard.
I found a used Mesa Oversized 4x12 at Guitar Center a couple months ago for $800 and grabbed it right away considering they normally cost $1500 new. Thing is basically new with no scratches or dents or anything. Sounds amazing too. Cheers for the unexpected find!
I saw one for $500 on facebook and immediately called in to work to drive 3 hours one way to go get it. I didn't even talk him down, I just gave him the 500
December I was lucky enough to find an EVH 50 watt 6L6 head modded by kruise kontrol for $900 at guitar center. Everyone loves finding a good deal on nice gear!
I’ve heard the voodoo mod rectifiers, and the trem-o-verb 100 watt head be compared to each other in style and tones. I’m not sure if I agree but I’m almost certain you have one. Mind doing a video?
Fluff , have you ever used the 3 channel stock rectos with a precision drive specifically? I tried this and got an absolute monstrous tone with this particular combo! Worth a try, i even did a little clip of it if you wanted to hear this, its pretty nuts
I expected it to be tighter and more percussive. When you chug, it kinda washes through the attack. Kind of that ripping-paper sound that I don't really like all that much.
Idk it still sounds muddy to me on the dirty channels. It’s definitely aggressive but not much clarity. But I’m so accustomed to modern tones so maybe my ear is bias.
I really like it in the mix, but idk man- when it's just the amp playthrough it still sounds super fizzy to me. Hope you make a comparison/shootout video with this and some of your other Rectifiers.
I think my compression pedal is voodoo moded and belonged to jessse Larson of sleeping with sirens! It’s back in Seattle so I forget but like I’m super certain
They do that alot these days. Companies take out the balls, and then use describing words like " tighter" and "aggressive". But the actual words from buyers are "thin", "tiny", and "empty".
@@YTisGaya lot of those amps are designed with lower tuned guitars in mind but tbh 7 strings have kinda faded out so now we have a lot of shit sounding thin and tiny. I still have my 7 strings but have found myself moving back to 6 string
I kinda hate publicizing that particular cat escaping from the bag, since I still have a couple of the things on my list, but the prices are often totally hilarious for the obscure antiquities that I acquire from Guitar Center.
I am considering having my Single Rec V2 modded. But only having the Parallel FX loop removed. An established metal player suggested this. Can anyone offer opinions or advice on this ? Thanks in advance
If you’re referring to modding the Parallel loop into a Serial loop, that mod is simple and has been well documented on the Boogie Board. A Google search should be enough to find it, and it’s something you can do yourself as I believe it’s just 2 wires to be removed. I’ve done it twice a long time ago: once to a Single Rec and also to my current Dual Rec… And yes it’s well worth doing. Parallel loops made more sense with old Fx units with low 16 bit converters…modern 24 bit converters are much better and generally Serial loops won’t have much or any tonal degradation….
Funny Enough I also got A voodoo amp moded dual rectifier i bought a guitar center. It such a great amp the shell and cab it came with real beat up so i haggled down to 1100 bucks for both.. They definitely didnt know what they had. The cleans are so good im spoiled and the third channel is exactly what I want.
I don’t like to have modded amps unless you can turn it completely off. To me, it’s kinda taking out the soul of the amp. I’ve had a modded JCM2000 TSL from the guys. It sounded good fair. It’s not going to that much like a world of difference. It subtle. Nothing you couldn’t do with an eq.
If it's an older amp you should factor in the potential cost of an amp tech going through it and possibly making some repairs & upgrades. Something to keep in mind with used gear.
Love the Rammstein mention as you can tell by the picture but yea those voodoo modded recto amps are some of the best sounding recto amps I’ve ever heard
Came across a used Origin 20 head for $350. Tag said gain modded. Hmmm…let’s check it out…5 minutes later..I’ll TAKE IT! I’d put it up against amps that have a zero after the 350. It’s Powerage and If You Want Blood live in a small box. FWIW I think stock Origins sound great, just got to crank ‘em up.
Man. I had a chance to own a Voodoo modded Marshall probably around 15 years (or maybe more) ago that sounded killer!! I can't remember if it was a JCM800 or a 900 but my dumb, naive ass was like "Eh...it's been modified and the resale value has been ruined" even though it sounded soooo good!! I'm such a dumb ass!! 🤦 Wish I knew then what I know now. 🤷
Thanks for the comparison between the modded version and the stock version. It was super helpful in highlighting the differences. I really liked when you were A/B ing back and forth. Seriously, what kind of lazy content was this? Did you just just realize yesterday that you needed to meet a sponsor quota by wearing your Sweetwater shirt? And that mod sounded like trash.
Dude, I need this amp! Is it true bypass? Does it have a sweet spot? Is it transgender friendly? Nonbinary? Covid compatible? Can it get Eddy's "Smells like teen spirit" tone? Asking for a friend
@@AtomicMeatballGuitara lot of ibanez kids ask the same idiotic questions. They talk alot but don't really know what they're talking about. Some youtubers are like that if you know what I mean.
All they do is alter the gain curcuit it's easy and shouldn't cost $ 800! 😅. I run a very good parametric eq not a graphic eq.for endless tone possibilities and To push the Amp a bit and i use a tc electronics gate. And just back that gain to 12 or 1 o'clock and your all set.

Got a Mesa Dual Rectifier Rev F Voodoo Amp modded from Richard Kruspe. Except his Rev C all his Dual Rectos he uses in the Studio are voodoo modded.

At the same time the low price pedals and basic guitars being in the chain make it apparent that eq at different points in the recording process make way more difference to the sound than some magical high dollar mod some dude does to some caps or resisters in an amp.
Trace is the man. I have my early 2000s 3ch Triple Rec that was voodoo amps modded and it sounds unbelievably ferocious.
1 have a single rec with the deluxe mod:)
rammstein also used modded mesa triaxis and ps1 pre amps.. i have a voodoo modded ada mp-1, some of the first mods they have done back than and i still prefer this over almost every other tube based preamp i have bought and sold over the last decades..cheers 🎸🎸
Wow it sounds killer! The harshness & extreme fizziness isn’t there. That’s a lot of what I don’t like about those amps. You snagged a rad amp! 🤘🤘

Hope you find one soon! I bought my triple rec new in the late 90s and still have it.
It's still the tube amp to have man. I feel the same about my block letter 5150, believe me.
I still have my triple, it's an early 2000 but, since I got the bluguitar iridium, I'm not playing anymore the triple, I use the cab thow
I have an 2000's dual rec that I felt the same way about, but eventually fell out of love it with and debated selling for years but recently I was looking for a different sound in my band and brought it out and I'm smitten again. Really glad I didn't sell it.
Picked up a triple rec 3 channel mid 2000s for $750 no issues no footswitch. Deals are around. Small mom and pop shops for the win.
Thanks for the video as always ! Sounds great. I wondered, how would you describe the differences between this Rectifier and your KSR modded one ?
4:47 - Fluff wants to give his amp a reach-around 😂
I too have a Deluxe Voodoo modded Mrsa single recto vers. 2. Sounds increadable! Great Work Trace....
Dude - I’d have snatched that up if I had seen it as well. That’s a great find - congrats!!!
Nice sounding Mesa man. Thanks for sharing.

I almost bought an Uberschall that had the voodoo mod, about 7 yrs ago. I had no idea what the mod was.
That sounds killer from a TH-cam video. I can only imagine it in person.
Love my jcm2000 voodoo metal mod. It rips!
Fluff you need to try a Herrmanson Amplification mod, Best Recto mods on earth!
Bro... That's no joke.
Are Mesa amps easy enough to mod? I’d think I’d like to mod a Fillmore
Fluff , have you ever used the 3 channel stock rectos with a precision drive specifically? I tried this and got an absolute monstrous tone with this particular combo! Worth a try, i even did a little clip of it if you wanted to hear this, its pretty nuts
I'm doing this now (well, the precision drive emulation on an L6 HX effects) and it made me fall in love with the amp again.
@@mikefoster5423 insanity isn’t it! Gives this amp a new life but keeps the character of the recto
I've watched a lot of TH-cam videos on rectifiers and that might be the best tone I've ever heard come from a rectifier
Great score. That's an amazing amp!
I liked watching Fluff's reflection on the amp during the playthrough :)
I expected it to be tighter and more percussive. When you chug, it kinda washes through the attack. Kind of that ripping-paper sound that I don't really like all that much.

Makes me miss my old single recto I had modded by FJA mods back in early 2000
How many rectifiers is too many?? Asking for a friend.
I found a Dual Rectifier Road King at Guitar Center one time for $800. Unfortunately I didn’t have $800. I’m still mourning that loss.

Love the versatility of my Nomad 🤘 Mesa FTW
i like the f series 50 watt combo. it was the easiest to get the mesa tone i could use .
I am not a huge fan of Mesa Rectifiers, but I prefer the stock version rather than this one. It sounds thin and without balls to my ears, IMHO.

Good lord that thing sounds great
very tight. very nice.
Bogner modded amps for big names too! Like Eddie Van Halen ( juiced up a Eddie's Marshalls in the 80's )
No way it sounds better than the triple I sold you ! 😂😂😂

Would go well with my PRS
