Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 - Head Ostrich Tuxedo

A little over ten years ago Bad Cat created the world's first Class A high gain amplifier, the Hot Cat 30. The same year it was introduced it received the coveted Editor's Pick Award. Within a few years it had worked its way up to second position in Guitar Player Magazine's list of the "Best Combos Ever Made!".  Just for fun we built a 100w Hot Cat to enter into their "100 Watt Showdown"... it won unanimously. There is truly something special about this original circuit.

We started with the most hi-fidelity clean channel ever designed, gave it an interactive tonestack that can be tailored around anything from jangly single coils to thick humbuckers and paired it with the smoothest high gain channel imaginable. We gave this "hot" channel a sweepable mid control that allows it to produce a wide range of gain voicings. Independent K Master and reverb controls  allow each channel to be set at any desirable gain and output level and the global cut control adjusts upper treble frequencies to accommodate for dark instruments or rooms.

Other specifications include:

• 30 Watt Class A  (2 x EL34)
• Cathode biased
• Foot-switchable clean & hot channels
• Dedicated K Master® control for each channel
• 4, 8, 16 ohm impedance selector
• Effects loop
• 0717129
