Bad Cat Cub III 30R + Bad Cat 1×12 cab (SOLD)

SOLD
This amp features a Matchless C30 (Sampson-era) preamp. It’s a 30w (4xEL84) modern Vox AC30 style seriously BOUTIQUE amp. This is the top of the range, custom shop hand made model! It’s also got a built in, very high end quality spring reverb.
Bad Cat pulled out all the stops to make this new series the most game-changing tube amp design on the market. There are several new features, a few of which are completely original innovations!
The Cub III comes equipped with a 12AX7 and an EF86 installed. Either tube can be placed in the circuit via the mini toggle on the faceplate or the included footswitch. Though the Cub III is in theory a single channel amp with one set of knobs, the tube select function opens up much of the versatility traditionally found in twin channel amps.
The other button on the included footswitch activates a 3-5 db lead boost when the bass/treble mode is being used. Since it boosts the tube used for the tonestack it does not provide a boost when the 5 position tonewheel is selected. This boost can also be manually selected using the mini toggle located along the top between the bass and treble knobs.

The K master volume is in my opinion the best thing to happen to tube amps in a very long time. So many other onboard and outboard devices had falsely promised to reduce volume while maintaining tone, that I had lost all hope in attenuation.

Gain down/master up, gain up/master down, and… of course… everything cranked! It doesn’t just control volume. It actually lets you cut or boost power to the output tubes without straining them in the least. Cutting the K master reduced volume down to a whisper without changing tone or response. Boosting the K master beyond median gain increased headroom by taking advantage of those huge Bad Cat transformers. It also unleashed those coveted harmonics that can only be produced by power tube saturation.

Aircraft Aluminum Chassis
The new chassis not only improves the shielding of the circuit, but reduces overall weight by about 2 lbs.

Improved Grounding
Big George went back to the drawing board on this one. He discovered a traditional approach to grounding tube circuits that produces a much lower noise floor than the time saving approaches used by every other guitar amplifier manufacturer.

Effects Loop
Bad Cat decided to include a free passive effects loop in all of their amps.
