PRE-OWNED 2023 Bad Cat Cub 30 Combo

The Bad Cat Cub 30 – Boutique Tone with Serious Attitude

The Bad Cat Cub 30 combo is a streamlined powerhouse with classic British heritage and modern flexibility. In excellent condition with only light scuffs on both sides and a minor mark on the back, this amp has been meticulously cared for and remains visually clean.

Tube-driven tone and power

Fueled by two EL34 power tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes, the Cub delivers a mighty 30 watts of cathode biased, Class AB tone. With dual gain voices—clean and overdrive—alongside two switchable master volumes, it offers satin-smooth cleans, rich breakup, and punchy crunch in one channel. All carefully hand built in Southern California.

Speaker: Celestion V30 Bad Cat Custom

This combo is equipped with a single 12 inch Bad Cat Custom Celestion V30 speaker—the same premium UK-made Celestion used in the latest factory Cub combos. Expect tight lows, midrange clarity, and dynamic responsiveness that match the amp’s expressive tonal character.

Features & controls

Designed for usability, it includes studio-quality spring reverb, a buffered effects loop, and versatile speaker outputs (4, 8, 16 ohms, plus dual outputs). Additional controls include a global Clean/OD switch, two master volumes, and individual speaker outputs.
