Bad Cat Wild Cat 40R

A Bad Cat Wild Cat 40R 2x12 combo amp in well-used but good cosmetic condition. This one has a custom white sparkle vinyl finish, with a heavy duty leather handle
This Mark Sampson-designed monster features the same front end as the legendary Matchless DC30, only with a beefier 40-watt EL34 power section. Like the DC30, Channel one features a 12AX7-based preamp with the classic 'Top Boost' sound. Channel has an EF86 front end and, unlike the DC30, gives you two tonal choices--either a single stepped tone switch that alters the low frequency character of the amp, or another 'Top Boost' control set. 
This is a boutique hand wired, military spec built amplifier with 2 x 12” proprietary Bad Cat speakers, large over spec transformers. As such it is heavy…built like a tank. 
It has that 3D sound and excels at the sparkling clean to edge of break up tones and has a Vox / Marshallesque type crunch when pushed. Fantastic pedal platform although sounds great on its own.  The amp also sports a lovely spring reverb. 
This amp had been serviced and tested, and was fully retubed by David Peach at Peach Audio. It has had about 5-6 hours play time since the service. It is fully functional and sounds absolutely superb.
You won’t see too many of these Bad Cat Wildcat 40R amps in Australia and they don’t come up for sale very often.

Before he got his PRS signature amps David Grissom was using Bad Cat Wild Cat 40R amps…
"For the past 2 years my main amp has been a Wild Cat. My new custom shop Wild Cat takes that amp to an even deeper level of tone...I couldn't be happier."
