Interesting goings on at Bad Cat...

This just posted on their Facebook page:

"I am absolutely thrilled to announce that as of midnight last night , my former partners have been bought out and I have acquired a 100% ownership stake in Bad Cat Amplifiers.

I am now officially back in the saddle. Get ready for great stuff.

John Thompson"

I think there was a post from James Heidrich a week or so ago saying he was no longer wishing to be part of Bad Cat but that's now been deleted.

Sounds interesting....

John Thompson has been a real breath of fresh air at that company.

And to be doing this as well as the new Cold Feet is great. Really great.... Nice. Really nice....

I thought John had been the sole owner for a while?  Obviously not!  Well, all I can say is John has been great for that company and brand with a customer-based approach which really is second to none.

I've emailed them asking for a pin out of the footswitch on a hotcat several times and got nothing

That's surprising - they've always responded pretty much right way when I've emailed them, even with the most banal enquiries

Yup, I think you've been unlucky there @Cabicular, they've always been on the ball when I've contacted them too.

They ignored several emails from me and Facebook messages when I wanted more info/support for the Unleash 2

This was going back 6 months ago. Completely useless

Nice!



Possibly not that John Thompson?

I'll maybe try them again
I was looking at it so Daniel could help me get a cable made that would allow me to switch with the G2
Dan was happy to help but Badcat ... not a sausage not even a response

To switch what?

Cabicular

Channels with a G2 

pmg

I use a stereo trs for mine to switch channels and reverb

Cabicular

Into the 6 pin footswitch ?

pmg

ah, i see your problem.  Mine is a 2013 model and doesn't have the 6 pin footswitch

Cabicular

I'm sure I could probably trial and error a cable together but surely it would be easy enough for them to give me a pinout!
im not even sure what the connector is to buy another one
I don't use the amp so much now I have the Helix but still a bit poor they haven't responded
