Description

From Bad Cat:

USA PLAYER SERIES

Historically paying less for an amp has meant sacrificing on tone and feel.

To lower costs, amplifier manufacturers have moved away from point to point hand-wiring to turret board or PCB type construction methods.

These amplifiers usually get the overall tone of a hand-wired amp but often times lack the dynamics and feel of a true point to point hand-wired amplifier. Until now.

Our USA Player series are constructed by hand in our Orange County factory using the same attention to detail and premium components as our Hand-Wired series but feature a PCB wired construction to bring the production cost down.

These amplifiers come with the heart and soul of our hand-wired Legacy amps.

They offer the same USA built transformers, speakers , baltic birch cabinetry and components of our Legacy amps. Only with a more approachable price point.

OVERVIEW

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.
