I Found A Modded Rectifier At Guitar Center!?

[@clod33]

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

[@fatsuperfly]

Oof! I would if I had the money, hope it gets a good home.

[@chopperdeath]

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.

[@seankent1807]

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… 👏👏👏

[@willruddermusic2646]

Trace is the man. I have my early 2000s 3ch Triple Rec that was voodoo amps modded and it sounds unbelievably ferocious.

[@r3ya919]

1 have a single rec with the deluxe mod:)

[@Stahlengelmusic]

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.

[@SeePayne81]

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

[@Team512]

Hope you find one soon! I bought my triple rec new in the late 90s and still have it.

[@treewisemenllc7281]

It's still the tube amp to have man. I feel the same about my block letter 5150, believe me.

[@burtosu86guitar]

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

[@mikefoster5423]

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.

[@youngmike8645]

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.

[@Turbo-D]

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 🎸🎸

[@RokDAWG1]

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! 🤘🤘

[@hanovergreen4091]

Yah Mon!

[@kendude9]

I too have a Deluxe Voodoo modded Mrsa single recto vers. 2. Sounds increadable! Great Work Trace....

[@nobodyimportant76467]

Dude - I’d have snatched that up if I had seen it as well. That’s a great find - congrats!!!

[@MikeYeary]

4:47 - Fluff wants to give his amp a reach-around 😂

[@MC-dj7ri]

Nice sounding Mesa man. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrReuno]

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...

[@ripley7t429]

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.

[@jasondrummond1318]

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.

[@FatSoundStudio]

My guy.....this is the Fluff I have missed! Killer tune!

[@dnadeau819]

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.

[@foggyblues13]

That sounds killer from a KZbin video. I can only imagine it in person.

[@kevinfeatherstone6062]

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!

[@guitarsickness7064]

'Sick' riffage. Boogie sounds good

[@sjones3891]

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!

[@sqlb3rn]

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 swear to Jeebus Im gonna write a jam with that thing you always play when you plug in. Same with Ola.

[@howardgillingham4763]

I will use my JSX straight across

[@Skoora]

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.

[@martinhensley2377]

Fluff, I had one of the amps and it sounds great.

[@kevinstewart8120]

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.

[@CS-ru4xd]

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. 🤷

[@joshuamessenger]

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.

[@kevingross2221]

Dave Friedman was modding Jet City Amps with his BE and Jose mods

[@Ontariosound]

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

[@SolaChristus]

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….

[@kilomatik]

Merrow would have a blast with this if he doesnt already have one!

[@cjpalmisano4366]

Is that a Tom Delonge strat in the back? 👀

[@gab.lab.martins]

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.

[@barry3045]

Doug Aldrich used voodoo mods as well.

[@s1wheel4]

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.

[@HaydenMcCarry]

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

[@mikefoster5423]

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.

[@HaydenMcCarry]

@@mikefoster5423 insanity isn’t it! Gives this amp a new life but keeps the character of the recto

[@FabrizioCalderara76]

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.

[@YTisGay]

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".

[@TheJMan1K]

@@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

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.

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.
