The all-new Cub V, drawing its roots from one of the most iconic circuits in Bad Cat history, is a masterful blend of heritage and modern innovation. A true testament to the meeting of classic sound and cutting-edge craftsmanship.
Equipped with switchable EF86/12AX7 preamp tubes and an incredible tube-driven spring reverb, the Cub V offers a varied sonic potential that unlocks a wide range of tonal possibilities.
Every Cub V is not only hand-wired in Southern California, but also meticulously point-to-point soldered by our team of passionate engineers. This ensures unmatched precision and craftsmanship in every amp.
We have reintroduced the iconic Bad Cat eyes in our new hand-wired series. A nod to the heritage that defines a Bad Cat amplifier and the ultimate sound.
The Cub V is available in 15-watt (2 x EL84) and 40-watt (2 x EL34) configurations, both offered as a head or as our signature combo amp featuring a UK-made Celestion 12-inch Custom Bad Cat speaker.
