This is the result of an exciting collaboration between Badcat and Palen Music. We've had several customers ask for a more affordable version of the Hotcat 15 and our friends at Badcat were happy to oblige! This produces the same chimney cleans and harmonically rich drive you've come to expect from the Hotcat 30R at a volume that's easy on the ears and at a price point that's easy on your wallet.
The Bad Cat Hot Cat 15R 15W tube guitar amp head is designed with one thing in mind — high-gain British-style tone. This Player Series head is a two-channel amp with two EL84’s being driven in Class A cathode bias to produce 15 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 provide 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.
