looking at these babies and it seems great, you can get a good condition one for around 300. And mod it for 3-500 ( i've read some things saying modded bluevoodoos beat damn near anything)
anyways im looking at the 120 version head
pretty dead set on the cab atleast
but i wanted to know if anyone has one and how brutal they can get i play that yelling stuffs
The worst live guitar tone I ever heard came from a Blue Doodoo. It was actually so bad that I had to go outside until the band finished, because the "tone" had a quality to it that literally made me feel nauseous.
Lol, I'm sure you can make it work but for $300 I would put my money elsewhere... and it will be hard to make your money back when the time comes to sell. Their cabs with v30s are legit though. I've heard better things about the BV150 though. The 120 not so much.
They are decent for $300 or so if it comes with a matching 412. But I wouldn't put much money into modding one.
Most of the dudes on here are going to give you shit for wanting/owning one because people around here are chock full of modern metal amp propaganda. :lol:
A while back one of the local GCs had a complete Blue Voodoo stack(with 2 Celestion V30 loaded cabs) for like $800. I thought it sounded great! But then again, I really dig that old school boosted Marshall tone. But I wasn't really in the market so I passed.
Eh we had a red voodoo half stack for like 2 years at work. Not the worst sml I'd heard but for 300( if its just the head) I'd look elsewhere. Even the later solid state crate stuff was superior IMO.
I bought a BV head and cab off CL for $300 a few years ago. It has no hope of ever being brutal. Its a hot rodded (but not really) Marshall sound. Bright, gritty and mid range nasally.
If you play in a Sammy Hagar cover band its the perfect amp, but most other things its lacking.
well damn, i saw and heard some shit of people shredding the fucking fuck out of those things. I have an hd 500 already so i'm just gonna get the cab and see if my rig sounds better through my glx 1200 instead of my gx-15 1x12 hahaha damn crate for being so cheap, but my combo amp sounds really good somehow 0-0
i should ask this now
how do i get the best live/recording sdound with the hd 500? i'll make a new thread but this way some people can see it
and also good budget amps with a lot of balls?
gt1200h from crate (that sadly enough got discontinued). I believe mine has the caps upgraded, guess i'll have to open it up at some point to see what got modded to it.
Didn't cannibal corpse use blue voodoo's at some point (vile era)? wretched spawn video has owen using one in the studio me thinks & i think he's played em live aswell.
The bv's do the mid scooped classic deathmetal sound very well but for the more modern tones they're not exactly the greatest amps tbh. The clean is acceptable & for some reason i always skip the middle channel on pretty much any amp really. :lol:
I'd rather rattle a hard dog poop around in a coffey can than play a blue poopoo
