Bad Cat Hot Cat 50 Mod Shop Head
$ 2,499.99 $ 2,998.00
Hot Cat 50
The Hot Cat 50 is the latest evolution of Bad Cat’s now-legendary Hot Cat platform. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Bad Cat Mod Shop: Black Cat 30 Combo Amplifier
$ 2,599.99 $ 3,200.00
The first release from the new Bad Cat Mod Shop is here—and it carries the fingerprints of a legend.
In early 2024, Mark Sampson—co-founder of the boutique amp movement and the mind behind some of the most iconic designs in the industry—returned to Bad Cat. One of the projects he chose to revisit was the Black Cat. What followed is a brilliant revision of one of our award-winning amplifiers.
Mark had a way of seeing deeper into a circuit -- of knowing what to change, and what not to—guided by a lifetime of experimentation, invention, and obsessive pursuit of tone. The Mod Shop Black Cat 30 is one of the final chapters in that story: a handcrafted, limited-edition amplifier that blends the roots of Bad Cat with a new big, bold voice.

Bad Cat Ocelot Head Guitar Amplifier
$ 1,399.99 $ 1,678.00
Small Cat. Big Roar.
The Bad Cat Ocelot redefines what’s possible in a small format tube amp. Designed to deliver pro-level tones in a lightweight, portable package, the Ocelot is the ultimate tool for guitarists who demand power, flexibility, and zero compromise – whether in the studio, on the stage, or at home. This isn’t a stripped-down practice amp. It’s a fully loaded tone machine built to perform anywhere.
Two Channels with Endless Possibilities Channel 1 offers high-headroom, sparkling cleans that can evolve into rich edge-of-breakup tones with the flick of the Hi/Lo mode switch. This isn’t just clean—it’s nuanced and expressive, ideal for everything from lush ballads to intricate picking. Channel 2 takes you into high-gain territory, delivering everything from tight, punchy crunch to thick, saturated distortion. With independent gain and volume controls, you can sculpt your overdrive to perfection. Both channels are designed to work with you, offering the flexibility to switch between modes on the fly with the included footswitch.
YOUR TONE, YOUR WAY The Ocelot is more than just an amp—it’s a complete solution. Featuring a built-in EQ with Treble, Mid, Bass, and Presence controls, plus a Hi/Lo mode switch, you have the power to shape your tone for any style or scenario. Want even more flexibility? The Cab switch allows you to select from six onboard Bad Cat DynIR™ Virtual Cabinet presets, while the Cab Level knob fine-tunes your tone for the XLR and headphone outputs—perfect for silent practice or direct recording.
THE POWER TO DO IT ALL With selectable power modes, the Ocelot adapts to any situation. Dial it back to 1W for quiet sessions or crank it up to 20W to fill the room. And thanks to its internal speaker load, you can play without an external cabinet—ideal for late-night jams or laying down tracks straight into your DAW. The Two notes Torpedo integration takes the Ocelot to another level. Connect via XLR or headphones to access six virtual cab presets, including five official Bad Cat DynIR™ cabinets. Whether you’re recording, rehearsing, or performing, the Ocelot ensures your tone is always studio-quality.
BUILT TO PERFORM
• Compact and durable, the Ocelot is built to handle the demands of real-world playing.
