NostalgiTone Mule Kicker PCB SET

Description

Soldano Tone with a Klon(e) Kicker PCB SET

The Mule Kicker combines the soulful grit of a Warren Haynes-inspired, Soldano-based preamp with the unmistakable clarity and push of a true Klon[e] Centaur circuit. Each side can be used independently, stacked together, or reversed in order for unprecedented tonal versatility—ranging from responsive edge-of-breakup warmth to harmonically rich saturation.

The Mule Preamp is an all-analog preamp pedal based on the legendary Soldano circuit. Designed for rich saturation, tight lows, and articulate highs, it delivers authentic tube-like response. Perfect as a standalone preamp or a powerful drive pedal, the Mule provides the punch, articulation, and dynamic response expected from a top-tier tube amp circuit.

The Kicker stays true to the legendary Klon[e] circuit, delivering a transparent boost, rich harmonics, and dynamic touch sensitivity. It adds depth and clarity without coloring your core tone. With switchable order, you can place the Kicker before or after the Mule, unlocking a wide palette of unique tonal combinations to dial in your perfect sound.

Key Features:

• Authentic Soldano-style preamp featuring a 3-band EQ, Presence control and a Deep switch for precise, responsive tone shaping.

• The Kicker Boost delivers the unmistakable clarity, rich harmonics, and transparent gain of the classic Klon[e] Centaur.

• Built-in order switching is the key to unmatched tone-shaping – unlocking sounds and dynamics you won’t find anywhere else.

Designed for a widely available 1590xx or 1790NS (same) enclosure.
