Does someone make anything like the Soldano hot mod?

[Christopher Caruana]

Does anyone know if there is a company that makes anything like the "Hot mod" Soldano made a few years back?

Not that I am aware... The issue with the Hot Mod is the 6C10 triple triode. There is no one reproducing that tube and they are getting more difficult to source. A 6K11 (which is easier to find) can work in the Hot Mod socket also, but it changes the gain structure.
It was actually a pretty slick little mod that grabbed the rail voltage off the cathode follower plate circuit to power the extra gain stage - just unfortunate that triple triodes will likely disappear completely once the NOS stuff left out there is depleted.

Yeah, the Kasha Quick Mod, which is even better, but it's not cheap....$500, I think.

But it's a cool piece of gear, which you plug into the V1 socket of any amp that needs more gain....like old Marshalls or Fenders. It's an additional preamp stage, which you can dial in, unlike the Soldano.

I dont get the point, why not just use a pedal?

because it sounds almost solid state when using a pedal as a boost. I want more gain without taking away from the tube tone and feel

There is actually one of those for sale near me if you really need one. $125NZ which is about $90us + shipping. If you paid me up front I could probably buy it and ship it to you if that is any help?

That's a really cool offer. Just one more reason I love this forum.

You sir have been using the wrong pedals...

I'm not saying that the Kasha is not a great peice and the Hot Mod was ather cool too but a good pedal can go a LONG way in adding a little extra gain to an amp.
