Bad Cat Hot Cat 50 Guitar Combo Amplifier (50 Watts, 1x12")

When Inspiration Strikes, the Sound Follows:
The Mod Shop Hot Cat 50 is rewired, re-voiced, and reborn with a level of ferocity and flexibility that has never existed in a Hot Cat before. Pushing a full 50 watts of blooming, punch-first power, this is destined to take your rig to the next level. Strike a chord and you'll feel it immediately: greater openness, richer harmonic depth, visceral punch, and a smooth, musical response from every control.

More Power, More Punch, More Bloom, and More Soul:
Bad Cat opened up the midrange, expanded the tone stack, and rebuilt the presence circuit with the musicality it always deserved. The clean channel shimmers, breathes, and blooms--and in High mode, it transforms into that unmistakable cranked-AC / pushed-JTM voice players have chased for decades.

Flip to the drive channel and the Hot Cat 50 becomes a fire-breathing, high-gain preamp with the clarity and note separation only Bad Cat can deliver. Gain Low gives you that classic 80's era British authority, and Gain High engages an additional tube gain stage for a tight, punchy, modern roar with vintage heart.

Four Voices and One Fearless Identity:
- Clean Low - Big, glassy American clean
- Clean High - Cranked AC / JTM-style breakup and bite
- Gain Low - British rock crunch with unmatched touch sensitivity
- Gain High - Refined high-gain authority with Bad Cat's signature note separation
From pristine sparkle to modified aggression, the Hot Cat 50 is built to be the heart of your entire… read more rig.
