Model: Hot Box Wild Cat 30
Model No: HBX-WC30
The FRENZEL " Hot Box Wild Cat 30" design was "INSPIRED" by the classic Matchless Hot Box and the Hot Cat 30. The
preamps have three stages of high gain and are modeled after the classic Hot Box preamp. We have added separate HI -
LO inputs, gain controls, tone stacks, and master level controls to give you maximum tone control. This allows you to set
each channel for the eact tones and overdrive you want, and then to select or blend both channels with an AB/Y
footswitch. The output stage uses a pair of cathode biased Class A EL34's that will give you 30 watts of pure sound
reproduction. And to finish things off we added a custom Presence control with an Edge pull switch to contour the sound.
This amp is truly a "wild cat" and will drive you crazy with all the tonal variations possible...some which you have never
heard before!
FEATURES:
Input Jacks isolated from chassis for low noise, eddy currents, and hum.
DC on preamp and driver filaments for low noise and hum.
Star ground system to reduce induced current chassis noise.
4 Input Jacks - Hi - Lo Jacks for Clean and Boost inputs with separate Gain controls for the unique smooth warm clean
tones or the great overdrive crunch boost tones....or you can use an AB-Y switch and create your own distinct tones.
Classic 60's vintage style 3-BAND TONE STACKS for extended flexibility in shaping your tone....plus Bright capacitor on
Gain Controls for extra sparkle!
MASTER level controls so you can crank the GAIN's up and overdrive the preamps and drivers without overdriving the
output tubes.
Classic vintage style Presence control .
Effects Loop - Classic insertion type Serial Effects Loop with Return Jack (Power Amp In), Send Jack (Preamp Out), and
Send Level Control.
Unique NNFB "Edge" switch on the PRESENCE control that transforms the power amp section into a No-Negative-
FeedBack style amp for more open, less compressed tones.
