Bad Cat Amps
Point-to-point Perfection
Since 2000, Bad Cat has been redefining the tube amp experience for players worldwide. Based in Irvine, CA, their team of craftsmen builds every combo, cabinet, and head with uncompromising attention to detail. Using point-to-point hand-wiring, Bad Cat Amps are built with gold-plated connectors and housed in Baltic birch cabinets loaded with custom Celestion speakers, each Bad Cat amp is a rugged workhorse that sounds every bit as stunning as it looks.
It’s no surprise their amps have become the choice of top artists like Arctic Monkeys, Goo Goo Dolls, Keith Urban, and Muse. From the revered Black Cat 30w 1x12 Combo—with its 12AX7 channel delivering sweet midrange punch and its EF86 channel blooming into rich harmonics—to the Hot Cat 15w Head, a lower-wattage take on their award-winning design that’s perfect for club gigs, Bad Cat’s lineup covers everything from shimmering cleans to ferocious growl.
Pair any head with a Bad Cat 4x12 Cabinet, built from 13-ply Baltic birch and loaded with proprietary Celestion speakers, and you’ll unlock massive tone that can fill any stage. With a catalog full of versatile, road-ready amps, Bad Cat continues to prove why they’re one of the most respected names in modern amplification.
Introducing the Cub V, a USA hand-wired amplifier built for players who demand more. With true point-to-point wiring, switchable 12AX7 and EF86 preamp tubes, tube-driven spring reverb, and dual master volumes, the Cub V is engineered to deliver uncompromising tone and reliability. Whether you need sparkling cleans, rich harmonic textures, or searing overdrive, this amp adapts instantly, giving you the versatility to own any stage or studio session.
Available in 15-watt (2 x EL84) and 40-watt (2 x EL34) configurations—each offered as a head or combo—the Cub V backs up its features with raw power and refined craftsmanship. An updated tone stack, buffered effects loop, and rugged build ensure this amp performs night after night. Complete with a two-button footswitch for seamless control, the Cub V raises the bar for modern guitar amplification. Proudly made in the USA, it’s everything you want from a Bad Cat and more.
