edited February 2014 in Amps £
Bad Cat Black Cat head for sale or trade. This amp is basically the same as a Matchless C30 (which is the head version of the fabled DC30). In a nutshell, it's beautiful 3D tone to die for. 

This in excellent condition and has only two small match-head scuff. Old style covering and dual input. Looking for £950

Trades or PX welcome. Like this listing, all trade proposals must be competitively valued..

    yum.

    does this take pedals well?

      I have   fender deluxe reverb reissue with a celestion gold in it (plus the orginal speaker).  Would that be of interest?

    Never had a problem with any pedals. I've put drives such as Suhr Riot, Fulltone 70, OCD, TS808 - all sound super-duper. Delays / chorus / phase all worked well. Compression is particularly nice through this amp. DRRI is of interest if sensibly priced.

    Nice.  I like the sound of these more than the Marshally sound.

    Edited for irrelevancy.

    Superb amps these, I have the 2x12 combo. Heavier than a small car but what a sound. I had mine and a Matchless DC30 in stereo for a while but sold the Matchless as the Bad Cat was the better sounding amp to me. Best of Luck with the Sale, I'm almost tempted myself!

    No. It's not really the kind of amp that would need one. It all about 3D tones and lightly driven sounds. Your big distortions, if you use them, would come from your pedal board with this kind of rig.

    Just reviewing these:



    Playing not quite right, but the sound is great.  When he gets past the intro.



    Clean.  This is gorgeous.

    This is a good compare between this and the Matchless.  Huge difference with a Gibson.

    I like it from about 3:00 onwards.  Lush and organic.  I am so tempted at this moment.

    I'm based in the north east. Teesside.

    Good looking amps but Mesa's make my brain hurt. :(

    :) No problem.  Quite easy really.  Just duplicates the eq section for each channel, and has a choice of drive levels/types.

    And a sag control.

    Best of luck anyways.

    @cacofonix - I could have a use for the mesa cab. If you'd like to use that against the bad cat, then please do.

    I would love to, but I don't have enough balancing cash, unfortunately, (GAS fund at about Timefactor levels) and explaining about getting another head in without one going out would be complicated at best.

    It would be nice though...

    Hi

        Do you have a photo of the transformers used in the Bad cat? Are they grey in colour and made by West Labs who make the transformers in my Matchless DC 30 or did Bad cat use another manufacture for the irons?

    The main two transformers look black to me and the smallest one of the three has the brown windings showing. I cannot ascertain the manufacturers details by sight. It could be worth contacting Bad Cat if this is a crucial detail for you.

    @fixitfixit As far as I am aware they are made by westlabs. They definately were in my Hot Cat 30.
    My good traders feedback
