Selectable Preamp Tubes

One channel. You might think the Cub does the whole bluesy crunch well and that’s it – but there s so much more. Features include a preamp tube toggle to select either 12AX7 and EF86 circuits on the fly. This allows you to switch between a chimey, glassy tone and a thicker, more complex sound. The EF86 valves also bring more gain to reach those upper echelons of heavy rock. Combine with the EL34 driven power amp to get class British style tightness.

There’s also a selectable tone stack boost upping the Cub’s gain stages to four, meaning more room to experiment with your unique sound or just to thicken things up for solos. Both toggle features are accessible via footswitch.

Studio-grade Reverb

Carefully-voiced by Bad Cat to sit perfectly in any mix, you’ll get studio-grade reverb right through your loudspeaker with drowning your tone or losing clarity.

K Master

An original approach to power amp management. The K Master dial controls voltage, current gain, harmonic clipping and signal amplitude in order to retain gain levels at any volume. That means whatever level you’re playing at, you’re getting the same responsiveness and presence you’d expect from a loud tube amp.

Wait, it does more! Push the K Master past 2 o’clock to saturate the power section independent of the preamp gain. This opens up even more tonal possibilities, such as big cleans with loads of harmonic content.

  This is the one that started it all! The Black Cat s pedigree is well known. The amp of choice for countless arena acts. Huge chimey 3-D cleans. A sound so delicate yet ferocious when pushed. You have never heard lows like this come from an EL84 amp. The 12AX7 side gives lush sweet and complex mid-range that works from warm punchy cleans through tight crunchy growl. Engage the master volume and get the dirt at any level. Switch over to the EF86 and get a lesson in why the Black Cat is revered by so many diverse artists. Shimmering cleans that can be pushed lightly to fill the room with ghostly octaves and harmonics. Rev up channel two a little harder and push your sound into Class A nirvana. Note definition, highs that spray around the hall and a bottom end that never gets loose.

  Dual reverb controls and dual K Master volume circuits allows all of the magic to occur at manageable volumes, round out the refinements. Available in 30 or 15 watts. Experience why The Black Cat is played by some of the biggest artists on some of the largest stages in the world.
