Members parrotheada1a Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Now this is how it should be done! Very nice work indeed. BTW, another popular use of silicones/ epoxies is for anti-tampering. The idea is that you need to get past the coating to remove a screw or something similar. Some companies will void a warranty for something like that, no excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredloud Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Yep, looks like their work. Here's more of it (as is also in one of the earlier posts I contributed to this thread). They really liked to go ape{censored} with that black goop. In Voodoo's defense I don't think they do the epoxy stuff anymore. My modded amp had clean soldering work with no epoxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rushtallica Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 Looks like a group of dudes mistook that chassis for a gurl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jaytee123 Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 yeah... a guy bought an amp, sent it to the modder. modder did his thing, covered the board in epoxy, send it back. then something under the epoxy failed. modder refused to replace the entire board for free, even though it would have been serviceable were it not for the epoxy. owner bought a replacement board from ceriatone or mojo and had to pay a tech to install it. including the original amp purchase, the dude was about $3K into a stock JCM800. The board wasn't his to epoxy to begin with, he was authorized to do the mod only, unless he wants to stipulate that he does this up front. Can you imagine having someone modify your car engine and having them put goop on it that rendered the engine non servicable?I actually think the guy has a valid case, though pursuing it may not be cost effective in some situations.

Members jaytee123 Posted August 22, 2009 Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 I took a razor blade and cut that connection and was suprizedto still see voltage present. Somehow between the capacitorsand caulk it formed another storage point! Definitely possible. The caulk could be acting as a dielectric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members petejt Posted August 22, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 22, 2009 And funny I just bought some caulking glue for my speaker cabinet... Thanks for your stories folks.

Members Voodoo Amps Posted September 3, 2009 Members Share Posted September 3, 2009 I'm 99% positive that Voodoo doesn't epoxy their stuff anymore. I recall Trace talking about that a few years ago. Correct, we do not use epoxy. While we did for a short time that was several years ago. We have also rebuilt all the amps we epoxied (free-of-charge). There are three (3) amps remaining and we will also happily rebuild them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
