In this video, I’m excited to show you my new BadCat Cub 15. This is a 15-watt combo amp that has a surprisingly big, open sound. I'll be testing it out with both my Fender Stratocaster and my Gibson Les Paul so you can hear how it handles different pickups and styles.
Whether I'm looking for those sparkling cleans or a bit more grit, this amp really delivers a rich, touch-sensitive tone that reminds me of much larger setups.
Initial impressions and setup of the BadCat Cub 15.
Clean and overdriven tones with a Strat.
The warm, sustain-filled response with a Les Paul.
Why 15 watts might be all you need for your next session or gig.
I’m really impressed with how this amp allows the natural character of each guitar to shine through. Let me know what you think of the tone in the comments!
