Introducing the LegendaryTones HOT MOD V2 EVO, a plug-in dual tube module specifically engineered to dramatically increase gain in Marshall amps. The HOT MOD V2 EVO requires NO chassis cutting, drilled holes, or wiring modifications to your amp – it simply and easily installs in place of the middle V2 tube position. The circuit within harnesses the power of an additional gain stage now running an additional tube.

Want your classic Marshall to sing with increased sustain and pure vacuum tube tone? Your tube high-gain solution is here. No solid state tricks or clipping diodes. 100% pure tube gain. The HOT MOD V2 EVO circuit was carefully designed to give you gradual increases of gain when using the amp’s preamp control. From adding a touch of sweet sustain, to full on metal, your Marshall will now have greater flexibility and deliver a wider range of tones.

With the HOT MOD V2 EVO (HMV2E), because the increased gain is created inside the amp rather than through an external pedal booster running in front of the input, the noise level of the HMV2E is dramatically reduced even at higher gain settings compared to when using an overdrive or EQ pedal used as a clean boost. Additionally the HMV2E design focus was articulation and when it is inserted LATER in the stages of the amp, the result is more articulation with sustain, so your signal can still clean up well by rolling back your guitar’s volume control.

This is why it’s become popular with even higher-gain amps like many Friedman models, Mesa Rectifier (2 channel), Soldano SLO, or the Marshall JCM 2000 DSL/TSL 50/100 watt amps. You can keep the preamp gain of the amp set lower and this results in greater and faster note articulation in response - then insert the mod and get the sustain back as it’s been placed downstream in the circuit.

And if for some reason you still wanted more gain from an external pedal to shape or increase the signal gain further, you can still do it. You likely won’t need to, but go ahead and hit the front end of your amp with a hotter signal and the HMV2E will take it just fine!

Compatibility and Applications

The Hot Mod V2 Evo is designed to work well with a wide range of Marshall amps including the 2203,2204, 1959, 1987 as well as the new studio series SC/SV20H heads. It also works great in a number of Friedman amps and is ideal for the Runt 20 and 50 as well as the JJ Jr., Twin Sister, and Smallbox models.
