Bad Cat Cub III 40 Hand-Wired Head & Matching 1x12 Cabinet – 2014 – Excellent Condition
Up for sale is my 2014 Bad Cat Cub III 40 Hand-Wired Head with the matching Bad Cat 1x12 speaker cabinet. This is a beautifully built boutique amplifier that delivers everything players love about the legendary Bad Cat sound—rich harmonic complexity, exceptional touch sensitivity, inspiring dynamics, and world-class craftsmanship.
Hand-built in the USA, the Cub III 40 is an all-tube amplifier that effortlessly covers sparkling cleans, edge-of-breakup rhythm tones, and smooth, articulate overdrive. It responds beautifully to your guitar's volume control and picking dynamics, making it one of the most expressive amplifiers I've owned. Whether you're plugging straight in or building your sound with pedals, this amp delivers outstanding clarity, chime, and feel.
The matching Bad Cat 1x12 cabinet perfectly complements the head, producing tight low end, detailed mids, and the signature Bad Cat sparkle. Together they make a compact, professional-quality rig equally at home on stage, in the studio, or as the centerpiece of a serious home setup.
Both the head and cabinet are in excellent condition, have been exceptionally well cared for, and function exactly as they should. They come from a smoke-free home and have been treated with the care a boutique amplifier deserves.

Condition Notes
The head and cabinet are in excellent overall condition. The only item worth mentioning is that the cabinet handle has experienced some age-related deterioration. This is cosmetic only, does not affect the functionality or structural integrity of the cabinet, and is largely hidden when the amplifier head is sitting on top. Please review the photos for details.
For safe transport, all tubes will be carefully removed, individually wrapped, labeled, and packed separately inside the shipment. The amplifier will be professionally packed, fully insured for the purchase price, and shipped with the same level of care I would expect when purchasing a boutique amplifier.
This is an outstanding opportunity to own one of Bad Cat's sought-after hand-wired amplifiers in the complete matching head-and-cab configuration. If you're looking for premium American craftsmanship, incredible dynamics, and inspiring tube tone, this Cub III will not disappoint.
Please review all photos carefully and feel free to reach out with any questions.
