Members gutterking Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just sent the payment for this, somewhat on impulse. Am I gonna be pleased with this decision? http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/msg/2192302685.html For Sale: used CUSTOM Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 head in RED SPARKLE w/ red road case Amp is 30 watts, serial # 2418, ORIGINAL version (so there is no reverb or effects loop, like the newer ones), 2 x EL34s, 2 channels (clean & gain - switchable with A/B pedal, not included) Missing one knob, RED SPARKLE covering is a bit scuffed and could use some cleaning. Road case by Cellini (www.cellinisupercase.com) Sounds awesome! The clean channel cranked with a Les Paul......forget about it! The gain channel has shred-worthy gain as well. This is priced to sell! I've seen similar items go upwards of $1400. Cash, money orders/cashiers check, or PayPal (in person) only. Pickup in NoHo preferred (that way, you can hear it, if you'd like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gutterking Posted February 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Would.....if you were wanting the most brittle and harsh drive channel ever. Is this from hands-on experience? I'm pretty stoked on this amp and the one Bad Cat I've actually gotten to play in person, but if this turns out to be the case I guess I could always flip it for at least the grand I paid for it.

Members scratchie Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 A hot cat head for less than a grand including road case??? Uh yeah...I would be up for that in a second. The funky colour would be a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not harsh at all ......a mate has one and it goes from 0 to Joe Walsh in 2.3 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newholland Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 hate that amp. if i were loaded, i wouldn't only sell mine, i'd have it disassembled into it's component parts and donate the lot of them to a charity that teaches disadvantaged children to solder by building analog calculators.

Members newholland Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Your ears.They are broken. oof.. i disagree! i can't stand the sound of those amps, honestly. i've played 3 of them through different speakers, and they've all left me cold. most lovely cleans evarrrr.. but gain wise, i can't imagine a use for them.

Members this is paul Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 That's a steal. I've wanted one since I played one like 8 years ago but i doubt id bring myself to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, from hands on experience. I owned a Hot Cat 30R for a few months and couldn't get rid of it quick enough. The clean channel, as newholland said, is godly. It is seriously magical. But holy god in heaven that drive channel is awful. No matter what the speaker/guitar/eq setting, it couldn't sound anything but hollow, harsh, brittle, etc. It was like listening to a chainsaw through a broken speaker, mic'd through a cardboard tube.

Members MattACaster Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 Would. Hard. Love those amps!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scratchie Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 You should try it yourself. You'll likely change your tune. I have and I like it.You see, if everybody like the same {censored} there would only be one amp & one guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Anomaly Posted February 7, 2011 Members Share Posted February 7, 2011 :blah: They're really not. I just look for more in an amp than: 1) lots of gain? check. Well, we all can't like the same things, of course, but I actually don't even look for "a lot of gain" in my amps at all, and the Bad Cat isn't a Dual Rec. Just making sure you don't lump me in with a metalhead, or that amp for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
