*AMP INFO*
Loaded with High Gain British style tone, the Hot Cat 30R Player Series Combo is a two-channel amp with two EL34’s being driven in Class A cathode bias to produce 30 watts of power.
Channel one is a simple Volume, Bass, Treble, Reverb, and K Master. The cleans on this amp are clear and sparkling and ring out with a clarity that comes from our custom hand-wound transformers. Channel one will go from crystal clear sparkle to rich complex overdrive and all stops in between. The patented K Master circuit provides extraordinary clean headroom and rich high gain saturation at whisper volumes.
Channel two has a simple layout of Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble, Reverb, and K-Master. A global presence knob that cuts across both channels to smooth out any high transients. The gain is soaked in rich harmonics with astounding string-to-string note definition even in high gain settings. There is a reason this amplifier is the choice of countless touring professionals.
I bought this amp in combo form about 6 months ago and I’m still smitten with it. Hands down the best sounding amp I have ever owned.
Just purchased one yesterday and because of the new Bad Cat amps release I got $400 off a new Hot Cat 30R Combo! Definitely can't wait till it arrives!! 🤘🎸👍
@@connorsme71 Let us know how it goes! Im still in love with mine. I have been doing some captures of it with my Quad Cortex as well. I actually use it in conjunction with the QC live.
These amps deserve a great demo.. now they have one! Sounds awesome.
Thanks Matt that is very kind of you to say. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment!
This video made me buy this fantastic amp. Thanks to Nate's great playing, and good video/sound quality, this was really helpful👍Thompson should appreciate your work🤟
Wow! Thank you for that tremendous encouragement. John Thompson is a wonderful human being that works with other wonderful humans to make wonderful sonic atmospheric manipulators that are wonderful to enjoy. It’s no wonder you ended up getting one! 😉
Thanks again brother, hope you get to crank that amp every day as much as possible!!!🙏
Still loving the amp Robert?
@@duderdudeedoo1984 Still a good amp👍
Love the content you guys are doing.
Thank you Darryl!
Great video Nate! You always find a way to show me cool gear to spend my money on!
Thanks brother Ray! If folks would just follow your channel, they would have plenty of extra cash for guitars and amps.😉
another gem of a vid!
Thank you sir!
Super informative. Thanks so much
Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment.👍 We appreciate you!
Love me some Larry Norman through a BadCat. Thanks Nate!
Great catch! That’s a wonderful song. I appreciate your comment and thank you for subscribing!
Killer amp !
Agreed! ❤️🙏 thanks for watching & commenting!
1x12 cabinet? Maybe you said it and i missed it.... Great demo, quick and to the point.
You are correct, it’s 112 cab👍 -thanks for watching!
Great playing
Thank you friend! We appreciate you commenting and subscribing to our channel.👍
Boy, this app sounds fantastic. I just bought a Marshall 2525C mini silver jubilee, thinking I was buying the ideal, small gigging and getting rid of two 100 W amps and putting a little bit of money in my pocket at the same time now looking at this video I realize that I still have time to trade in my amp. I don’t know what do you think I do believe this bad Cat may be a better marshal than my Marshall and certainly may have as much and definitely more versatility for vintage all the way through 80s hair metal with this amp versus. I don’t really get vintage tone from the Jubilee so I don’t know anybody that reads this hit me back. I’d love to hear your opinion. 9:09
Hey Adam! Thanks for your comment. The Hotcat certainly gets British tones and definitely has a way better clean sound. Based on your comment I would say the Hotcat would be a fantastic fit.👍
Thanks for the amazing review. I'd have two questions. 1) What is that switch just below the input socket? Is it the channel selector, or the power scaling? 2) How does the clean channel take overdrive pedals in the front? Thanks!!
If its good enough for record producer Steven Wilson, y'know Bad Cat amps are good enough for us!.
I always noticed the Bad Cat amps in the live Porcupine Tree performances and want one so bad now. Lol also one of my all time favorite bands Circa Survive’s guitar player Brendan Eckstrom plays a Bad Cat 30R and his tone is incredible
Maaaan this thing sounds amazing! Like others, I can’t decide between this or the Lynx-X. I don’t play metal but we do some harder Pop Punk. This sounds like it’ll do that but I just don’t know 🤔🤔 gotta try them in person one day 😍
Thanks Sam! Come by sometime and check out one of these in person. I like the Hotcat over the Lynx because the lower gain (classic warm, fat mids) is a little more my thing. If you’re ever in our neck of the woods give us a shout!
The Hot Cat is all you need. I play this in a hard rock band and I’m not even close to high on the gain knob. The Lynx is voiced differently, for sure. If you want hot rodded marshally tone with a sort of Vox high end, this is it. The Hot Cat has much more gain available than they demonstrate here. The low end is totally controllable, too. EDIT: on the high gain they show here, he’s like 1/4 of the way up on the gain knob.
@@SunshineHB agreed, the Hotcat is my favorite Badcat amp. 😺👍
@@naterevolution thanks for the videos. This one was a big factor for me getting the HC30. I happen to live near Bad Cat HQ and got to stop by to pick up my matching extension cab. Their whole team is great to deal with, as I’m sure you know. Loving the Chords and Coffee content as well.
This amp sounds great at low volumes with the K Master design, but I love pushing this thing past 1 o’clock on the Master and using maybe 10-12 o’ clock on the gain. One of the best high gain sounds I have played, and the BC Celestions sound amazing for this as well as the boutique tones.
@@SunshineHB thank you so much for sharing this! It encourages me that you found our video content helpful as well as take the time to watch Chords and Coffee. I look forward to hearing more about your musical adventures, let’s stay in touch!
Come on! 🔥
Thanks brother!!!
Who‘s that guy: Lance Keltner‘s and Greg Koch‘s son? 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
😄😅 I’m gonna take that as a compliment!! Thanks for commenting and subscribing, my brother!🙏
How does it compare to the Lynx X ? More versatile ? Thank's !
Great question! The Lynx X is more of a “modern metal” gain spectrum and the Hotcat is more of a bluesy “classic rock” tonal palette to my ears. Hope that helps!👍
Ok. Thank you for your answer Nate ;)
How does it compare to the Cub 40R you demoed? Brighter or darker?
Great question! The Lynx is the most gain, the Hot Cat is the next in line with the Cub40R with even less gain. If you’re using pedals for gain and need more clean headroom, the cub 40 is the way to go. If you want your overdrive/distortion to be achieved through the amp (but don’t want tons of gain like the Lynx) the Hotcat is your huckleberry.
@@naterevolution Your videos on the Bad Cat Lynx and Hot Cat are the best I've found. I'm looking for a "jack-of-all-trades," clean to heavy. Would the Hot Cat and Lynx? Do both have decent cleans, and which is the best clean? Thanks.
@@cmcald0 thank you so much! I prefer the Hotcat. It’s a crazy a versatile amp that has PLENTY of gain for rock/blues/country/funky music playing folks. The clean sounds great too. Hotcat for the win🔥😻
@@naterevolution Hi Nate! for a player doing diferents sorts of rock (blues rock to hard rock), but doing also stoner and doom/a thick fuzz is needed, would you go hot cat or lynx? Another great review!! thanks!
@@fuzzatface great question! The Lynx has more gain without a doubt. I would say that for most heavy music, the Lynx will get er done😄👍 Plus, if you need the stoner/doom bludgeoning wall of fuzz it will play nice with fuzz pedals too. ⚡️🤘⚡️
Turn that stinkin reverb down!!
😂🤣
