For over 25 years, the Hot Cat has been Bad Cat’s go-to high-gain amp for professional players. This newest version raises the bar with a redesigned 50-watt power section, a more flexible EQ, two seamless channels, and switchable Lo and Hi gain modes.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n  Where the Black Cat 30 lives in classic, expressive tones, the Hot Cat 50 is built for players who need bold contrast—big cleans, aggressive crunch, and high-gain in one uncompromising amp.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n  Simply put, the Hot Cat 50 is the most wide-ranging amp in the Bad Cat lineup. It comfortably covers everything from classic country and rock to high-gain metal—and it does it with jaw- dropping accuracy. It’s also loaded with real-world features players actually need, including an effects loop, onboard reverb, a direct line-out, and a two-button footswitch. Designed to be the centerpiece of a serious rig, it takes pedals and rack effects with ease.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n  Plug a single-coil guitar into the clean channel in Lo mode and the amp delivers glassy, American-style cleans you’ve heard on records for decades. Switch to Hi mode and a Telecaster pushes it into Paisley-style country lead tones—bouncy, articulate, and full of bite. Swap the Tele for a Les Paul, leave the settings alone, and the sound shifts into mid-forward, percussive classic rock territory—the kind of punchy rhythm tone you’d expect from an AC\/DC record.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n  The second channel is voiced more like a classic JCM-style circuit, with plenty of crunch and aggression to firmly land in 1980s rock. With the gain around 2 o’clock, the tones sit squarely in classic arena rock territory. Flip the mode switch to Hi and the amp gets even more menacing—with modded high-gain tones perfect for harder rock and metal.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n  \u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Designed and Built in Costa Mesa CA\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Custom Wound Bad Cat Transformers\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    50 Watts\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    2 x EL34 Power Tubes\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    4 x 12ax7 Preamp Tubes\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    2 Channels – Clean and OD\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    2 Modes – Lo and Hi\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Shared TMB EQ Circuit\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Independent Gain and Volume Per Channel\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Global Master Volume and Presence\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Studio Quality Reverb\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n      Buffered FX Loop\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n      Individual Speaker Outputs (4, 8, 16 ohm)\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Line Out\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Baltic Birch Cabinet\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    Two Button Footswitch (Channel and Mode)\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n      Cover Included\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n  \u003cli\u003e\r\n    W 28” x H 25” x D 15”, 57lbs (Combo)\r\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bad Cat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43732780908679,"sku":"BCP-2205-MODSHOP-K112","price":2044.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0343\/4368\/2183\/files\/bad-cat-amps-guitar-amps-guitar-combos-bad-cat-mod-shop-hot-cat-50-1x12-combo-bad-cat-mod-shop-hot-cat-50-1x12-combo-bcp-2205-modshop-k112-1216622792.jpg?v=1768439506","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagomusicexchange.com\/en-gb\/products\/bad-cat-mod-shop-hot-cat-50-1x12-combo-2457643","provider":"Chicago Music Exchange","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
