Bad Cat Hot Cat 50 Mark Sampson Mod Shop 50w Tube Head
Overview
The Hot Cat 50 is the latest evolution of Bad Cat’s high-gain flagship platform, built for players who demand serious range and authority from a single amp. This Mark Sampson Mod Shop 50-watt head features a redesigned power section, expanded EQ flexibility, two seamless channels, and switchable Lo and Hi gain modes for wide tonal contrast.
From glassy, American-style cleans to punchy classic rock crunch and fully saturated high-gain tones, the Hot Cat 50 is built to cover real ground. Designed and built in Costa Mesa, CA, it’s equipped with studio-quality reverb, a buffered effects loop, direct line out, and a two-button footswitch—making it a true centerpiece for a modern professional rig.
