Bad Cat Cub V EL34 40-Watt Tube Guitar Amp Head with Tube Spring Reverb

Tracing its roots back to one of the most iconic circuits in Bad Cat history, the all new Cub V is a masterful blend of heritage and modern innovation. A true testament to where classic tone meets cutting-edge craftsmanship.

EL84 or EL34

The Cub V is available in 15-watts (2 x EL84) and 40-watts (2 x EL34) configurations, both offered as either a head or as our signature combo amp including a UK Made Celestion 12-inch custom Bad Cat speaker.

EF86 or 12AX7

Featuring a dedicated switch between EF86 or 12AX7 pre amp tubes, the Cub V offers diverse sonic potential allowing you to unlock endless tonal possibilities.

Dual Master Volumes

The Cub V’s foot-switchable dual master volume circuit allows you to dial in the perfect balance for both rhythm and lead playing.

Tube-Driven Spring Reverb

There is nothing like the classic charm of a tube-driven spring reverb, where vintage warmth meets modern flexibility. The Cub V’s reverb circuit delivers that unmistakable ‘bounce’ and shimmer of a true spring reverb, driven by the organic, dynamic power of tubes. 

Point to Point

Each Cub V is not only hand-wired in Southern California but also meticulously point-to-point soldered by our passionate team of engineers. This ensures unmatched precision and craftsmanship in every amp.

Inside and Out

Crafted with the same care and attention as on the inside, the Cub V is wrapped in premium Tolex and reinforced with genuine leather corners, ensuring a lasting legacy of both style and durability.
