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 lineage of the Black Cat goes all the way back to the original boutique
guitar amplifier designed and built in Southern California. It was overbuilt and
overspec'd and made to be the sonic successor to one of the most legendary
and coveted amps from the early 1960s. Now Bad Cat has gone back to the
drawing board. The inspiration for the new Black Cat was to deliver on the
original promise. We set out to capture all that is magical about the original
designs, all while utilizing modern engineering and manufacturing advances
to fit the needs of the modern player.
The new Black Cat features two unique channels with bias-modulated tremolo
and studio quality reverb. Channel 1, a more traditional Black Cat sound, is
bright and clear without being harsh. It is very responsive, complex in
midrange character and delivers the sound you know and expect from this
amplifier design. Channel 2 has all of the complexity and chime of channel
one but with more gain on tap, while preserving our signature string-to-string
note definition.
The new Black Cat is subtle and beautiful. It is an achievement in timeless
tone.
Thank you,
The Bad Cat Team
