The Bad Cat Era 30 is a milestone in tone and innovation, marking the return of
legendary designer Mark Sampson to Bad Cat after two decades. Blending iconic
design with modern craftsmanship, this amp represents over 35 years of Sampson's
expertise in engineering and artistry.
Two Independent Channels
Channel One: Powered by an EF86 tube for harmonically
rich, three-dimensional tones with precision tone-shaping
controls.
Channel Two: Uses a 12AX7 tube for tighter, punchier tones
with vintage chime or earthy textures.
Depth Control
The Depth control is a stepped six position rotary switch,
each step calibrated with a unique capacitor value to finetune your bass response. Turn it clockwise to let more lowend energy flow from your gui-tar into the amplifier,
delivering a thick, resonant foundation to your tone.
Input Gain Controls
Each channel’s Gain control acts as an in-put volume,
letting you dial in just the right amount of signal as you turn
it clockwise. Push it further to add saturation in the first gain
stage, giving your sound a bold, dynamic character.
Power and Versatility
EL84-driven 30 watts deliver stage-ready sound pressure
levels. Paired with a matching 2x12 cabinet loaded with our
Celestion Custom Bad Cat Speaker for immersive, punchy
sound.
Buffered Effects Loop
The fully buffered effects loop ensures pristine signal
quality, whether you’re us-ing analog or digital effects. For
purists, the loop is completely hard bypassed when not
plugged in, preserving your signal’s pure, unaltered path.
Premium Build Quality
Handcrafted in Costa Mesa, California, with upgraded
aluminum chassis, Baltic Birch cabinets, durable tolex,
and premium leather details.
