Anyone have any experience with the Hot Mod? I've been thinking about grabbing one of these for use in my Astroverb when funds allow, but haven't made my mind up yet. Any opinions/ reviews would be great. Thanks.

Re: Soldano Hot Mod
I've had a Soldano Hot Mod in a Marshall JCM 800 (2204) for the last ten years. It has one of the best high gain sounds of any amp I've ever heard.
One point. If you put in a Hot Mod, the amp will never clean up, no matter how low you roll back the volume on your guitar. It also increases your volume big time. You really need a master volume amp with these things.

Re: Soldano Hot Mod
i had a hot mod in my '79 Marshall JMP for a while. it added TONS of gain if wanted which was nice but it didn't help fatten up the amp any which i hoped it would, so i sold it. still a very cool add on for a vintage marshall IMO.
