The Bad Cat Black Cat is a 20-watt EL84-powered two-channel tube guitar amplifier combining extended-headroom clean tones with Vox-to-Marshall-style British drive, available as a head or 1x12 combo. Drawing on Bad Cat Matchless-derived design heritage, the clean channel delivers glassy chime and excellent note separation with harmonic depth that prevents brittleness, while the lead channel provides organic rock snarl responsive to overdrive pedals. An on-board tremolo circuit with wide speed and depth range and a digital reverb are built in. Built around high-quality custom transformers and Celestion speaker components, the Black Cat targets players who need both sparkling clean and moderate-to-high-gain tones in a single boutique amp.
The Orange Rockerverb MKIII is a 100-watt tube amplifier delivering bright, articulate high-gain tone with integrated reverb. Its Class AB power stage and modern voicing provide responsive dynamics and excellent note separation. The Rockerverb MKIII appeals to rock and metal players.
