Tracing its roots back to one of the most iconic circuits in Bad Cat history, the Cub V is a masterful blend of our heritage and our modern innovation. A true testament to where classic tone meets cutting-edge craftsmanship.
 
The choice is yours - EL84 or EL34
The Cub V is available in 15-watts (2 x EL84) and 40-watts (2 x EL34) configurations, both offered as either a head or as our signature combo amp including a 12-inch custom speaker.

An "eye-conic" legacy
Reintroducing the iconic Bad Cat eyes to our new hand-wired series. A nod to the legacy that defines a Bad Cat amplifier and the ultimate tone.

Control your sound - EF86 or 12AX7
Featuring a dedicated switch between EF86 or 12AX7 pre amp tubes, the Cub V offers diverse sonic potential allowing you to unlock endless tonal possibilities.
 
Point to point
Each Cub V is not only hand-wired in Southern California but also meticulously point-to-point soldered by our passionate team of engineers. This ensures unmatched precision and craftsmanship in every amp.
 
Premium materials inside and out
Crafted with the same care and attention as on the inside, the Cub V is wrapped in premium Tolex and reinforced with genuine leather corners, ensuring a lasting legacy of both style and durability.

Tube-driven spring reverb
There is nothing like the classic charm of a tube-driven spring reverb, where vintage warmth meets modern flexibility. The Cub V’s reverb circuit delivers that unmistakable ‘bounce’ and shimmer of a true spring reverb, driven by the organic, dynamic power of tubes. 

Two is better than one - Dual Master Volumes
The Cub V’s foot-switchable dual master volume circuit allows you to dial in the perfect balance for both rhythm and lead playing.
