squawken Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Well used. Picked up a 2x12 at GC. Hooked up to my Hot Cat 15 and WOW. Tone orgasm. Sounds so much bigger now, tons more low end. Couldn't be happier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steiner Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Were you playing through a 1x12? Doubling the # of speakers can have a very nice effect. 'Course, the Hot Cat ain't no slouch! Congrats in your elation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats in your elation! I have the Hot Cat 15 combo, which is a 1x12. Just disconnected 1x12 and added the 2x12. Now I have monster sound!

DetroitBlues Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 2x12's are pretty sweet. Wish I knew someone who can make them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffB Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I love 212's. I have a Classic Cat R that sounds great as a 112 combo but just a step up through 212 cab. The dynamics of this amp is impressive. Makes running in stereo with any of my other amps a little hard as its hard to find unity volume. They just dont have the same touch sensitivity as the Bad Cat.

Steiner Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 2x12's are pretty sweet. Wish I knew someone who can make them.... Cab makers are a dime a dozen DB, just like luthiers... I bet KBP810 has a connection to a hardwood cab maker. You two should talk. PM him; he's easy to talk to. Squawken - what speakers have you switched to? I ask because I've a few BC combos that got the V30 removed and swapped with another speaker. I run a Hot Cat through a 4X12 with 3 different speakers. Loud or soft, it's just a wonderful experience.

The speakers are labeled "Star Amplifiers" by Mark Sampson, not the Celestions. I know Mark was part of Bad Cat, only to move on, and now is part of Star, so someone took a lot of effort to change this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steiner Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 Excellent! I'd guess they are the same as the Bad Cat speakers but Star is great! Do the have V30 cones and magnets? I guess that is to say; Do the speakers {magnet, frame & cone} look the same as your combo speaker? I'm just curious if Mark S. changed as he went to new companies in order to subsequently leave. Star has been on my radar for a couple years; I want one! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I like the idea that Jet City does with their 2x12 cab's. They are designed so that you can set it on its side and the head cab still fits on top. I'll need to get a head amp first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
