Bad Cat Mod Shop Black Cat 30 Combo

Mark Sampson’s final masterpiece is here! The Bad Cat Black Cat 30 Mark Sampson Edition from the new Mod Shop is a hand-built, limited edition amplifier that blends vintage roots with an all-new EL84 power tone stack. A brilliant reimagining of one of their award-winning amps, and at the same time, one of the last chapters in Sampson’s legendary design legacy.

The first release from the Bad Cat Mod Shop marks a special moment in the brand’s history. Mark Sampson, the legendary designer behind countless iconic amplifiers, has poured decades of experience and expertise into what would become one of his final creations.

The Mod Shop represents Bad Cat’s commitment to craftsmanship and custom artistry, with each amplifier individually built in Costa Mesa, California.

Its two-channel system offers a versatility that will delight both clean and overdrive players. The Clean channel delivers that characteristic chimey, dynamic tone with rich harmonic bloom and a touch-sensitive response that reacts beautifully to your playing. Switch to Overdrive for punchy, focused gain that stays open and articulate, even at full tilt.

Four EL84 power tubes provide that warm, vintage power tone that has made Bad Cat so famous, while the studio-grade reverb and bias-modulated tremolo add extra depth and expression to your sound. Available as a combo with a custom UK-made Celestion Bad Cat 12" speaker or as a head for pairing with your favorite cabinet, both housed in stunning Baltic birch cabinets that combine style and durability!
