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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere 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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimply 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlug 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned and Built in Costa Mesa CA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Wound Bad Cat Transformers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e50 Watts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x EL34 Power Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x 12ax7 Preamp Tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Channels – Clean and OD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Modes – Lo and Hi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShared TMB EQ Circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent Gain and Volume Per Channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal Master Volume and Presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudio Quality Reverb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuffered FX Loop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual Speaker Outputs (4, 8, 16 ohm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustom Bad Cat 12” Celestion speaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine Out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaltic Birch Cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Button Footswitch (Channel and Mode)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover Included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-year Limited Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bad Cat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43138930049087,"sku":"850067710660","price":2699.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/8473\/2479\/files\/HCMS-Combo-Front.png?v=1776362811","url":"https:\/\/dynamicpedals.com\/products\/bad-cat-amplifiers-hot-cat-1x12-combo-45w-2-channel-amp-direct-ship","provider":"Dynamic Pedals and Amps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
