Bad Cat Black Cat — the amp that instantly connects with your playing. A modern classic — now in our store!

If you've ever dreamed of an amp that feels more alive than anything you've played before, meet the Bad Cat Black Cat. This is not another “American vs. British” clone. This is a voice of its own — bold, dynamic and inspiring from the very first chord.

We already have the Black Cat in stock, fully tested and ready to impress you. Once you plug in, you’ll notice something special: the amp reacts instantly to your touch, breathes with your playing and never feels compressed or restricted. You're not just using an amp — you're playing with it.

⚡ Lively, responsive tone

Its 20-watt cathode-biased EL84 power section delivers surprising loudness and a rich dynamic response. The Black Cat slices through a full band mix effortlessly, yet the master volume lets you enjoy full tone at home volumes — a true rarity in the tube world.

🎸 Two channels, endless expression

🔊 Channel 1:

lush clean → articulate crunch → tight medium-gain drive.

🔥 Channel 2:

a muscular hard-rock growl that you would never expect from a 20-watt combo.

A unique two-band EQ with a powerful Cut control makes shaping your tone remarkably easy. Add a lush studio-grade reverb and an expressive bias-modulated tremolo, and you have an amp that begs to be played for hours.

🎛 Pedal-friendly by design

Whether you plug into the front or run effects through the fully buffered FX loop, every pedal behaves flawlessly — vintage or modern.

And yes — the compact metal footswitch eliminates the problem of oversized controllers that take half of your pedalboard.

🧩 Ready for any rig

• dedicated outputs for 4, 8, 16, 2×4, 2×8 Ω
• Line Out for IR loaders, recording, or Wet/Dry setups

This amp is built for real musicians and real stages.

🏆 Award-winning tone

Black Cat has already earned the Premier Guitar – Premier Gear Award (March 2023), and now it's ready for you to try.
