Bad Cat Unleash v3 Attenuator / Re-Amp / Analog DI

3 TOOLS IN 1: ATTENUATION, RE-AMPLIFICATION, DI

Great tube amps are built to be driven hard. To get that legendary warm, compressed, and harmonically rich tone, you have to push the power tubes to their sweet spot. The Unleash V3 lets you hit that sweet spot every time, regardless of the venue size.

Turn it Down (Transparent Attenuation) 

For high-wattage heads, the Unleash V3 acts as a reactive load attenuator. It absorbs the crushing volume of your cranked power section after the tubes have saturated, letting you whisper-quietly play a 100-watt beast in a bedroom without losing an ounce of feel or dynamics.

Turn it Up (100-Watt Re-Amplification) 

For low-wattage boutique amps, the Unleash V3 acts as a pristine, ultra-transparent 100-watt solid-state power amplifier. It takes the fully cranked, saturated tone of a 5-watt amp and boosts it with massive clean headroom, giving it enough authority to easily fill a stadium stage.

Direct Input (Purepath Analog DI)

Balanced analog speaker simulator via XLR Output to give your engineer a pure, authentic, direct signal to the mixing board without latency or digital conversion.

REAL FEATURES FOR REAL PLAYERS

Post-Power-Amp FX Loop - Places your delays, reverbs, and modulation effects exactly where they belong: after your cranked power section, even on amps without built-in loops.

Purepath XLR Direct Out - Deliver a consistent, analog signal to the front-of-house or your recording interface, complete with Edge/Center cabinet response voicing.
