Hot Cat now available in 100 watt (4 X EL34) and 15 watt (2 X EL84) configurations. Also new, 2X12 Combo Slant Cabinet for better stage projection! Very Cool!

THE HOTTEST OF ALL CATS: The HOT CAT 30 WATT is available in a 1x12" or 2x10" cabinet or as a standalone Head. With one input labeled CLEAN and one input labeled HI-GAIN, the single channel HOT CAT can replicate 2 channel performance play by using an A/B or A/B/Y foot pedal switch. The concept and function of the HOT CAT is new, unique, and unlike any other Bad Cat model. For what amounts to a medium price all Class A amp, the HOT CAT offers a wide range of sounds from CLEAN to controllable and unusually fat HI-GAIN. Additional features, included only on the HOT CAT, extend useful versatility to both its intelligent front end and potent power section.

THE NEW HI-GAIN CLASS A STANDARD: The 12AX7 based preamp affords some overdrive loading if desired via the CLEAN input tap as well as sweep control of the clearly emphasized overdrive employed with the alternate HI-GAIN input tap. Control knobs include: CLEAN VOL, GAIN, EDGE, LEVEL, BASS, TREBLE, BRILLIANCE, MASTER VOL. Overdrive and general tone character can range from smooth to a controllable edge with more punch. Sound is shaped both with panel controls and via selecting either tube rectification or the included solid state rectifier circuit with the latter SS position favoring a harder edge, less compression, and more sustain. In brief, (a) the degree of overdrive content (b) overdrive edge (c) compression and (d) attack / decay envelope are easy to tailor to taste. The power section uses dual EL34 tubes to support continuous, very thick overdrive speaker power and a strong reserve of clean headroom. In contrast to other Class A models to date, as regards extraordinary sound possibilities, the HOT CAT runs appreciably ahead of the pack.
