We are excited to announce the Bad Cat Mod Shop

It's our sonic skunk works. A space for legendary designers, builders, and artists to experiment with ideas that don’t fit inside the lines. These are the circuits that challenge convention, stretch tone, and chase what’s next. Limited runs. No rules. Just raw creativity with Bad Cat DNA.

The first release comes from Mark Sampson, a pioneer in boutique amp design and part of Bad Cat’s origin story. His take on the Black Cat 30 reworks the Player Series II foundation with a redesigned tone stack, upgraded filtering, and a reimagined power section with two additional output tubes.

Available now through select authorized dealers.

WE ARE BAD CAT

Every Bad Cat amplifier is built by hand in Southern California. From point-to-point hand-wiring to meticulous testing, we obsess over every detail. Because great tone doesn’t come off an assembly line.

Hand-WIred Series

Built by hand in Southern California, our Hand-Wired series represents the pinnacle of Bad Cat craftsmanship. These amps feature point-to-point soldered circuits, premium components, and timeless design—delivering unmatched tone, feel, and reliability. This is where legacy meets obsession.

Player Series II

Hand-built in Southern California, the Player Series II delivers professional-grade performance with a versatile lineup of amps to suit any style. From the chime and clarity of the Cub to the aggressive gain of the Lynx—and everything in between—these amps are designed to inspire, whether you're on stage, in the studio, or at home.
