Bad Cat Hot Cat: Initial Impressions
Okay, traded my Two Rock today for a Hot cAt and some cash. Both of us did okay in the deal from what I can tell.
The Hot Cat is indeed Hot! There is absolutely no way this sucker is 30 watts. Not a chance. I know it's cathode biased and maybe that makes a difference, but holy ear drums batman!
I iknow the_Chris had advised me to not make this trade, but so far, I like it.
I can get some stellar cleans out of the clean channel, even though it's only controls are volume and brightness. It's voiced quite nicely. The only guitar I've run through it so far has been my LP with P90's.
The distortion channel is nice and smooth. I haven't played both channels together with my ABY switch, but I hear it's a must-do.
I'm going to pull it apart tomorrow to see how the heck Bad Cat is getting this much power out of 2 EL34's.
I dont' know how long I'll own it, but it might stick around for a while. Excellent tone.
