Pedals that stack with the Bad Cat Hot Cat 50 Mod Shop Combo

Friedman BE-OD

The BE-OD's tight, modern hard-rock gain pushes the Hot Cat 50's own aggressive drive into much heavier territory.

Colorsound Overdriver

Push the Hot Cat 50's aggressive, saturated drive with the Overdriver's transparent treble boost and it opens up into more headroom before breaking.

Beetronics Swarm

The Swarm's experimental, modulated fuzz gives the Hot Cat 50's already-aggressive, saturated drive a genuinely strange new layer.

Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress

Put the Electric Mistress after the Hot Cat's gain so its metallic flanger sweep rides the saturation instead of drowning in it.

Wampler Cory Wong

The Cory Wong's optical funk compression evens out the pick attack before it ever reaches the Hot Cat 50's own aggressive, saturated drive.

Mooer A7 Ambience

Run the A7 in the Hot Cat's loop so its cavernous, infinite reverb trails the amp's saturation instead of getting driven along with it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Cusack Music Delay TME

Run the Delay TME in the Hot Cat's loop so its tight, tempo-synced echoes trail the amp's saturation instead of getting driven by it. — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
