Bad Cat Amplifiers | CME Exclusive Mod Shop Hot Cat 50
Dating back to 1999, Bad Cat has brought in talent from all corners of the amp world, most notably Matchless founder Mark Sampson. Their dedication to building Class A amplifiers with a British-inspired growl has drawn praise and use from players as varied as John Rzeznik, Nick Johnston, and Bonnie Raitt. That's why we're excited to team up with Bad Cat on our newest CME Exclusive amplifiers: the Bad Cat Mod Shop Hot Cat 50 1x12" Combo Amp and Amp Head in Black Levant. We started with the Hot Cat 50, added Marshall-inspired visual touches and a gold chassis, then built in a vintage/modern gain switch and EC Collins Pinstripe Grill Cloth for a tone-shaping experience you can't find anywhere else. Call us today at 773-525-7773, chat with our sales experts, or come into our Lincoln Avenue Showroom to grab yours!
