Bad Cat Mod Shop: Cub 15 1x12 Combo Guitar Amplifier

Bad Cat

A Return To Form

The cub returns to its origins with a reduced footprint, 15w EL84 power section, and a re-voiced eq to more closely match the original 1999 Mark Sampson Cub.

Huge Range From One Channel

Clean/Overdrive selector plus two switchable master volumes for rhythm and lead at the stomp of a switch

A Tone Rooted In History

Drawing on the DNA of the classic 15-watt British amps of the '60s, voiced with more muscle and modern clarity. It respects the designs of the past while delivering fluid dynamics and balance across its full gain range.

Boutique Build, No Compromise

Hand-wound Bad Cat transformers, a UK-made 12" Celestion Greenback, and a Baltic birch cabinet.
