Usually don't have many rants but here's one. Blue Voodoo 120 Blue Tolex Gold Lettering. Been collecting dust for years. Why... because they sound like shit lol. I needs new tubes and a few other things. Im pretty sure it was ran with improper ohm settings on the cab.
So do I retube and repair it and possibly mod it when resell is so incrediblely low.
I've very seen one tube amp lose so much value in my life. Its ridiculious how cheap you can get these for. I just recently saw a BV150H head and cab for $400. The 150H has a some very cool features even for a Crate lol.
It's sad to have such a shitty high gain tube amp laying around lol. They remind me of a souped up jcm 800/900 with way more gain buts its so fizzy and scratchy sounding.

I just got rid of a Blue Doo Doo :poop: last year, traded it in towards my Marshall DSL. I was using mine for running a Line6 HD500 into the effect loop return bypassing the Crate preamp and using the preamp sims on the HD500. Prior to that I removed the Groove Tubes that were in it and replaced them with Mesa Boogie Tubes. It toned down the fizz but made it a bit muddy. A good eq in the fx loop and a good 412 cab with v30's helps. Unfortunately I was never really happy with mine. :(
