A redesigned EL34 power section, more flexible TMB EQ, two channels with independent Lo and Hi mode switching, and a custom-wound Celestion speaker in a Baltic birch open-back cabinet make the Hot Cat 50 Combo the widest-ranging amp in Bad Cat's current lineup — capable of covering country, classic rock and high-gain metal from a single chassis without leaning on external drive pedals.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eFour Distinct Voices — the Mod Shop Channel Architecture\u003c\/h3\u003e   \u003cp\u003eTwo channels (Clean and OD), each with a Lo\/Hi mode switch, produce four clearly differentiated tonal characters. Clean Lo delivers wide, glassy American-style cleans that respond directly to pick attack and guitar volume — the territory of single-coils and clean country. Switching to Hi pushes the clean channel into AC\/JTM-style dynamic breakup with full mids and articulate bite. The OD channel in Lo mode occupies classic 1980s British JCM crunch — punchy, forward and controlled. OD Hi opens up modified high-gain territory for harder rock and metal. Both channels share a TMB equalizer, while a global Master Volume and redesigned Presence circuit maintain the amp's character and feel at any output level.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eStage and Studio Ready\u003c\/h3\u003e   \u003cp\u003eThe Hot Cat 50 Combo ships with a buffered FX loop, onboard studio-quality reverb, a Line Out, and individual speaker outputs at 4, 8 and 16 Ω — covering any cab or PA configuration without impedance-matching adapters. The open-back cabinet is built from Baltic birch and loaded with a 12\" Celestion speaker custom-voiced by Bad Cat for the EL34 power section. Custom-wound transformers are built in-house. A two-button footswitch for channel and mode switching is included, along with a protective cover. Every unit is designed and hand-built in Costa Mesa, California.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e   \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003e50W all-tube, power section: 2× EL34\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003ePreamp section: 4× 12AX7\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e2 channels: Clean and OD, each with independent Gain and Volume\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003e2 modes per channel: Lo and Hi — 4 distinct tonal voices\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eClean Lo: wide glassy American-style clean\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eClean Hi: dynamic AC\/JTM-style breakup\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eOD Lo: classic 1980s British JCM crunch\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eOD Hi: modified high-gain for hard rock and metal\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eShared TMB EQ circuit across both channels\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eGlobal Master Volume and redesigned Presence circuit\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eOnboard studio-quality reverb\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eBuffered FX loop\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIndividual speaker outputs: 4, 8 and 16 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eLine Out\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eSpeaker: 12\" Celestion custom Bad Cat\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eCabinet: Baltic birch, open-back\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eCustom-wound Bad Cat transformers\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIncluded: 2-button footswitch (channel and mode), cover\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eDesigned and built in Costa Mesa, California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eWarranty: 5-year limited\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003c\/ul\u003e   \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e   \u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eOutput power: 50W\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003ePower tubes: 2× EL34\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003ePreamp tubes: 4× 12AX7\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eChannels: 2 (Clean, OD) with Lo\/Hi mode switching\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eEQ: shared TMB (Treble, Middle, Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eGlobal controls: Master Volume, Presence\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eEffects: onboard studio-quality reverb\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eFX loop: buffered\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eSpeaker outputs: 4 Ω, 8 Ω, 16 Ω (individual)\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eLine output: Line Out\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eSpeaker: 12\" Celestion (custom Bad Cat voicing)\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eCabinet: Baltic birch, open-back\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 23.75\" W × approx. 10.25\" D (per manufacturer)\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eWeight: approx. 47 lb (21.3 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli\u003eIncluded accessories: 2-button footswitch, cover\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BAD CAT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53375343591761,"sku":"59188","price":2452.98,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/BadCatModShopHotCat50Combo1.jpg?v=1774968101","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/en-fr\/products\/bad-cat-mod-shop-hot-cat-50-combo","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
