Bad Cat Amplifiers only have one goal they strive for: Absolute perfection. Hand-built and hand-wired with an uncompromising attitude towards quality, every Bad Cat amp has been made to harness the power and unparalleled tone of the tube. Offering everything from amp cabinets to amplifier heads to combo amps, the selection here will impress beyond reason. Founded in 2000, Bad Cat wanted to create a classic amplifier that was more dependable and better built than anything else currently on the market. Consisting of a group of like-minded musicians that focus purely on the quality of the sound and construction, the products they have produced have turned more than a few heads. Known as a leading manufacturer worldwide, and having won more than their share of awards, Bad Cat's dedication to greatness has never waned.
The first thing you need to ask yourself though before diving in is what type of venue will you be typically playing in and how much power do you need to blow the roof off of it. Harnessing the warm tone of the tube, every amplifier in this section provides something different, so it's worth your time to explore them all. If space is a concern, but you still want to pump out the jams, there's nothing quite like the Cougar 5 5W Class A Tube Guitar Combo Amp. With a vintage appearance and a crystal clear tone, this durable amp brings back the feel of the golden age of rock. If, on the other hand, you're after something that can blend your need for thick gain and soft breakup, while filling an entire room with sound, you'll definitely have to look at the Black Cat R 30W 1x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp.
As well, if you're looking for something truly unique to work into your setup, you have to check out The Unleash Amplifier / Attenuator. Innovatively designed to attenuate or boost any amplifier, increasing the wattage from 1 to 100, this is the world's first re-amplifier. Allowing you to go from soft and quiet to fire-breathingly loud with the flick of a switch, this amplifier also ensures the sound quality stays perfectly intact no matter the volume.
Transcending genre, bands and artists like the Artic Monkeys, Slipknot, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Maroon 5 all rely on the legendary sound of Bad Cat amps to ensure their music sounds absolutely stellar. If you want to get best out of your gear, trust the brand pros use when they play.
