Introduction
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing a tube amplifier from Bad Cat.
As with all Bad Cat products, your amplifier is designed from the ground up to
provide the very best tones possible in a rugged, reliable package. Each one
of our models is constructed with Bad Cat's commitment to making the
highest quality amps, designed and built in Costa Mesa, California. Our users
benefit from our passion every time they plug in and crank up their favorite
Bad Cat amp. Since we also play what we build, it is truly gratifying for the Bad
Cat Team to be a part of bringing each amp to life and welcome you to the
Bad Cat den.
Features
The Cub was among the original Bad Cat designs – boutique and highly
desired, it has been used on countless stages and recording sessions. Its
original circuitry was simple and yet extremely versatile, offering punch and
chime. It gained up smoothly and set the standard for touch responsiveness,
establishing itself as a classic. Over the years, this amp's design has been
refined and improved. Every iteration brings something new to the table and
our newest Cub is no exception.
A single channel amplifier now with two gain modes, the original Cub circuitry
is accessed in the clean mode on this amplifier. In this mode, the Cub Is
capable of bright chiming, classic clean tones to smooth, touch responsive
edge of breakup. Switch the front panel toggle to overdrive mode to engage
an additional tube gain stage for more harmonic content and complexity not
found on prior Cub models. The new Cub also offers two switchable
independent master volume controls that can be preset for lead and rhythm
volumes. The Cub has been further expanded by adding a powerful midrange
control, studio quality reverb, and a fully buffered effects loop.
You can understand why we are so excited to introduce the new Cub and how
hard it was to stop playing it long enough to write this.
Thank you,
The Bad Cat Team
