For sale: a 2004 Bad Cat Cub II 15R combo amplifier from the highly sought-after Sampson Era of Bad Cat production.

Built during the period when Mark Sampson’s influence helped define the Bad Cat sound, this amplifier delivers the rich harmonics, touch sensitivity, chime, and musical overdrive that have made these early USA-built Bad Cats so desirable among players and collectors alike.

The amplifier has recently been serviced and is fully functional. Cosmetically, it shows honest signs of use consistent with its age, but remains a fantastic player’s amp with all the character one would expect from a well-loved boutique amplifier.

Features:

• 2004 USA-built Bad Cat Cub II 15R
• Desirable Sampson Era production
• 15-watt all-tube combo
• 2 x EL84 power tubes
• Built-in reverb
• Recently serviced
• Fully functional
• Honest cosmetic wear
• Outstanding dynamics and responsiveness

This amp delivers everything players look for in an early Bad Cat: sparkling cleans, rich harmonic complexity, excellent note separation, and a smooth, expressive overdrive when pushed.

A rare opportunity to own an early USA-built Sampson Era Bad Cat at a fraction of the cost of a new boutique amplifier.
