What We Think

Plug into the Bad Cat Classic Cat 20W and you'll hear a mighty half-stack sound in a modest combo package. Its no-frills layout of 1 volume, 1 tone reinforces the idea that you don't need a ton of controls to get a killer tone. Dial in the appropriate treble to navigate from twang to crunch and back again. The built in effects loop adds seamless integration of your favorite pedals. This tweed-style amp goes effortlessly from low-volume sweetness to wall-shaking sustain!

Condition: Excellent, you would be hard pressed to find a nick on this piece. 

Manufacturer's Description from Bad Cat

Bad Cat takes a 'no compromise' approach when designing and producing amplifiers. Our goal in each classic style, hand built amplifier is to achieve great tone and sturdy construction. Bad Cat Amplifiers are designed and built entirely in Southern California. Each step of this process is where the quest for perfection really begins. Our team gets really excited about what sets Bad Cat apart. We call it the ‘Bad Cat Difference’. Meticulously paying attention to each component affecting the sound and performance of our amplifiers is a journey we love to undertake every day.

Our users benefit from our passion every time they plug in and crank up their favorite Bad Cat amp. Since we also play what we build, it is truly gratifying for the Bad Cat Team to be a part of bringing each product to light.
