Bad Cat Era 30 Head Gray

The Bad Cat Era 30 marks the glorious return of legendary designer Mark Sampson to Bad Cat after a two-decade absence.

This amplifier combines iconic design with modern craftsmanship, resulting in a masterpiece that embodies over 35 years of expertise and artistic finesse. Since 1999, Bad Cat has been handcrafting world-class tube amplifiers, and the Era 30 is the pinnacle of this tradition. With its powerful tone and versatility, it’s an amplifier that inspires musicians and unleashes their potential.

The Era 30 offers unparalleled control over your sound. With separate Gain and Volume controls per channel, you can fully tailor your signal, from subtle warmth to rich tube saturation. The unique Depth control, with a six-way switch, allows you to fine-tune the low frequencies, while the global Master Volume lets you switch effortlessly between stage and living room volume. The built-in buffered effects loop ensures a crystal-clear signal, and for the purist, it can be completely bypassed for pure, unfiltered tone.

Hand-built in Costa Mesa, California, the Era 30 exudes craftsmanship. From the aluminum chassis and Baltic Birch cabinetry to the premium leather accents, every detail has been meticulously crafted. With custom transformers, point-to-point wiring, and a nitrocellulose finish, this amp delivers an unparalleled playing experience. Combining power, versatility, and a rich, historic sound, the Era 30 is the choice for guitarists who demand uncompromising quality.
