I really like the Voodoo mod and the work inside is top notch. I wish I lived within driving range of Trace so I could let him tweak the sound a bit - I understnad he can really dial it to your liking in person. This one was modded before I bought it. I like the way the Ch 3 presence...

I just bought a Voodoo-modded 3-ch. Dual Rec. I've been (mostly) a Marshall guy for the past 10 years though I went through a short blackface Fender period. Before my Marshall days, I had played a MK IV for about 10 years - bought mine in the first few months they were out - loved that amp...
