Pre Loved Bad Cat Cub 30W 1x12 Valve Combo

This pre loved Bad Cat Cub 1x12 30 Combo is a boutique 30-watt tube amplifier known for its dynamic, touch-sensitive response and versatile single-channel design. It is in excellent condition and uses 2 EL34 power tubes and 3 12AX7 preamp tubes, offering both a sparkling clean mode and a richer overdrive mode thanks to a selectable extra gain stage. Dual master volumes allow easy switching between rhythm and lead levels, while a powerful midrange control, studio-quality reverb, and a buffered effects loop add flexibility.

A UK-made Celestion 12″ speaker is housed in a resonant Baltic birch cabinet, delivering articulate tone with strong projection. The amp includes multiple speaker outputs (4, 8, and 16 ohm), a line out, and a two-button footswitch for gain mode and master volume switching. Built in Southern California, it blends classic boutique character with modern performance features for both studio and stage use.
