Designed and built in Costa Mesa, California

Wide open and gloriously unbridled, the new Jet Black packs a visceral punch. It looks big but remains agile, responsive, and dynamic—you're in total control, using nothing but your pick attack and your guitar's volume control. An unabashedly joyful amp to play, the Jet Black will put a wicked grin on your face every time you plug it in.

The simple design features 38 watts via a quartet of EL84s, two channels, a tremolo, and a reverb.

Each of the two channels features a single input volume control and a master volume control, so you can cover a wide dynamic range without disturbing the peace.

The reimagined first channel showcases a forward-thinking personality. Sharpened and bolder, the clean tones ring with authority, those magical midrange tones swirl with harmonics and clarity, and for those of you who need it, the amp is easily triggered by healthy gain levels. All this from a single channel.

The second channel is something special and brand new. To cut to the chase, whatever you're looking for in a rock-oriented amp, chances are the Jet Black delivers it—hard. It spans decades of iconic tones, while maintaining a unique personality—the perfect combination of nostalgia and modernity with its own inimitable swagger.

A new 3-band EQ has a pugnacious mid/treble bark that cuts through without a hint of harshness, and it's this midrange that lets your playing shine. The controls are designed to be perfectly balanced when set to 12 o'clock, so you can easily brighten or dim the lighting to suit your speaker or room without excessive or unbalanced adjustments. The Jet Black's sound stands out from the traditional "British Voice," and when played in a two-guitar band, it finds its own sonic space, mitigating the risk of a volume war.

The meticulously tuned reverb and tremolo circuits perfectly match the Jet Black's personality. The reverb is sumptuous, without splash or noise, and the tremolo pulses with adjustable depth and speed.

As with every new Bad Cat, you get a seamless, buffered effects loop, meaning no drama when connecting your beloved effects. A line output means using external IRs or re-amping is a snap, and you have a choice of a full set of speaker outputs. Finally, we've included a compact two-button footswitch to enable/disable the tremolo and switch amp channels.

So there you have it. Meet Jet Black – the baddest cat yet.
