Bad Cat Cub V 40 watt Handwired Head & Era 1x12 Cabinet - Antique Green w/Gold Grille

Prepare to ignite your boosters—this Bad Cat Hand-Wired Cub V EL34 in Custom Antique Green with a Gold Grilleis a boutique-grade tone reactor built for cosmic explorers who crave vintage soul with modern firepower. Rooted in one of the most iconic circuits in Bad Cat history, the Cub V is where legacy and innovation collide in a glorious sonic supernova.

This isn’t just an amp—it’s a hand-wired spacecraft from Southern California, meticulously point-to-point soldered by Bad Cat’s elite team of engineers. Every component is placed with precision worthy of a starship control panel, ensuring clarity, reliability, and tonal excellence that can survive the vacuum of deep space.

With switchable EF86 and 12AX7 preamp tubes, the Cub V gives you two galaxies of tone:
• EF86 mode – bold, dynamic, harmonically rich; the sound of vintage British tube magic orbiting at full glow
• 12AX7 mode – versatile, responsive, and perfectly voiced for chimey cleans or cosmic crunch

Pair that with an all-tube, spring-driven reverb, and you’ve got atmospheric shimmer that trails like stardust behind every note.

Powered by a pair of EL34s, this 40-watt version delivers punch, presence, and headroom that can cut through any asteroid field. Pair it with the signature Bad Cat Era 1x12 Cabinet—with a UK-made Celestion 12-inch custom Bad Cat speaker—the Cub V responds with authority and unmistakable character.

And yes… the iconic Bad Cat glowing eyes are back, piercing through the Antique Green finish like beacons guiding you through hyperspace—a perfect nod to the brand’s storied past.

At Interstellar Guitars, we curate gear not just for musicians, but for intergalactic tone travelers. This Cub V isn’t just ready for the stage—it’s ready for orbit.

Strap in, flip the power switch, and let the Bad Cat Cub V launch your sound into the cosmos.
