The specs:
• Power: 30W / 15W switchable
• Power tubes: Quad EL84
• Channels: True dual-channel — Ch. 1 runs a 12AX7 for classic cleans; Ch. 2 runs an EF86 pentode for harmonic bloom and gain
• Construction: Aircraft-grade aluminum chassis, full hand-wired point-to-point — no PCBs
• Controls: 8 chicken-head knobs + 4 round knobs, all original and fully functional
• K-Master: Bad Cat's proprietary volume control — full power-section saturation at any volume without losing feel
• Reverb: Tube-driven spring
• Aesthetic: Classic black-and-gold Tolex
Condition: Fewer than 40 hours on it — this amp has barely been broken in. Kept in a climate-controlled, smoke-free home studio since new. Every component is factory original: no mods, no recapping, no tube swaps. Fully functional, tubes have plenty of life left.
Why selling? Honestly, I'm just not playing as much as I used to. This amp has nothing wrong with it — it deserves to be in a room where it actually gets played.
Why buy locally? Boutique tube combos and freight shipping are a bad combination. No transit risk, no platform markup — just you testing it yourself before any money moves.
Price: $2000 — priced fairly for an original, USA-made, hand-wired example in this condition.
Terms: Cash only. Local pickup. No trades. Serious buyers welcome to test in person.
