What can I say, this amp is incredible and it's wildly versatile with touch sensitivity, dynamics, and amazing clean, edge of breakup, and grit. The combo punches well above it's weight and is tight and LOUD. Only selling because I'm downsizing my rig and have a Matchless Clubman being built. This has only be used in my studio and is in amazing condition - there may be some small dings in the tolex, but no bigger tears I was able to find. The pilot light might need to be changed (it's seemed dim lately), but tubes are perfect and have tons of life. Speaker is stock with a Celestion Vintage 30 G12.

From Suhr:

SINGLE CHANNEL – CATHODE BIASED

The Suhr Badger is a single channel amp that dynamically interacts with your guitar’s volume control and responds to your playing style. The cathode biased power section lends itself to dynamic, spongey tones and requires no bias adjustment when replacing power tubes.

POWER SCALING EXPLAINED

POWER: Power Scaling provides the tonal response of a high wattage amp on 10, at manageable volumes. Power controls the voltage that feeds the output section and in turn, the wattage. As you lower the voltage of the power section you are reducing the amount of signal it can handle before clipping the output section. To compensate for this we use the “Drive” control so you can easily scale down to 1 watt without losing tone & feel.

DRIVE: Feeds the input to the power section. With Power at 10 it acts as a master volume. As a rule of thumb, when you turn down the Power always set the Drive control within 2 numbers of the Power setting. If you set the drive lower than the power it will sound brighter, like a “master volume” amp.

FLEXIBLE CONTROL

GAIN: Controls the amount of preamp gain by controlling 2 cascading gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage.

TONE CONTROLS: Bass, Middle and Treble tone controls for each channel are post-gain and passive cut-style. We recommend starting around 5 and dialing to taste. As you increase Gain and/or Drive we recommend dialing back the Bass to retain clarity and definition in the low-end.

EFFECTS LOOP: Every Suhr Badger includes a buffered all tube effects loop that works equally well with pedals or line level rack gear..
