Ocelot

The Ocelot is built for players who need real Bad Cat tube tone in situations where a traditional amp simply isn’t practical. Compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, it delivers the feel, dynamics, and authority of a true tube amplifier while solving modern playing realities—quiet stages, fly dates, home practice, and direct recording.

Tonally, the Ocelot covers everything from clean and edge-of-breakup sounds to punchy crunch and higher-gain tones, all with tight low end, focused mids, and a responsive feel. It stays clear and articulate under light picking, then pushes naturally as you dig in. A Hi/Lo gain structure and independent gain and volume controls make it easy to move between clean, driven, and lead tones, while footswitch control allows quick changes without breaking focus. The familiar Treble, Mid, Bass, and Presence layout keeps dialing in sounds fast and intuitive.

The Ocelot is designed to solve real-world playing problems without extra gear. Selectable power levels allow it to be played quietly or opened up when needed. A built-in load enables silent operation without a cabinet, and the integrated Two Notes Torpedo system provides six Bad Cat DynIR™ cabinet options for direct recording or headphone use. Plug in, set a sound, and play—no compromises and no workarounds.
