Step aside, ordinary amps! The Bad Cat Era 30 is here, and it’s not just another guitar amp. Designed by none other than boutique amp royalty Mark Sampson, the mastermind behind the iconic Matchless DC30, this hand-wired marvel delivers a tonal experience that’s nothing short of transcendent. From its lush harmonics to its impeccable craftsmanship, this is an amp that doesn’t just amplify — it elevates.
Creative control, meet next-level versatility. The Era 30 doesn’t settle for a one-size-fits-all approach. Channel one, powered by an EF86 tube, offers deep, harmonically rich tones with a stepped depth control and sculptable treble for commanding low-end authority.
Channel two brings crystalline clarity with its 12AX7-based preamp and straightforward bass and treble EQ. Need to spice things up mid-solo? Toggle between channels with the footswitch or combine them for a bold, layered sound. It’s your tone — tailored your way.
Hand-wired, point-to-point, and built to last — because your sound deserves no less. At its core, the Era 30 is crafted with custom transformers and premium components that exude quality you can see, hear, and feel. Every detail serves a purpose, and every element is engineered to enrich your sound. This isn’t just a piece of gear; it’s an heirloom-worthy investment for any discerning musician.
The Bad Cat Era 30 doesn’t just pay homage to its legendary lineage; it redefines it for a new era. This amp is a tone chaser’s dream and a statement piece for your stage, studio, or home setup. It’s not just an amp; it’s a tonal masterpiece that inspires greatness every time you plug in.
