Bad Cat Cub 15R Reverb Player Series 1x12" Tube Combo – Like New w/ Original Box

No Sales Tax For Customers Outside Of California.

The Bad Cat Cub 15R Reverb Player Series delivers hand-built boutique tone in a portable, stage-ready 15-watt tube combo. This amp features a Class A cathode-biased EL84 power section, lush onboard spring reverb, and a transparent master volume, giving you everything from sparkling cleans to touch-sensitive overdrive at manageable volumes. With its 1x12" custom Bad Cat Celestion speaker and switchable 15W/7W power scaling, the Cub 15R is equally at home in the studio, rehearsal space, or live performance.

This example is like new, meticulously cared for, and comes with its original box, making it a fantastic find for players and collectors. Known for its USA-made craftsmanship, Bad Cat continues the boutique legacy of amps that prioritize tone, responsiveness, and durability.

The amp was responsibly used in church and lived at our customer's office when not performing.  It will ship in the original box.

Shipping policy:

When you purchase this item you are hereby agreeing to this shipping policy. We remove tubes from amps that could be damaged in shipping.  These cases can result in multiple box shipments, and they require the buyer to do some assembly on delivery.  We do this because we have experienced shipping issues in the past, and this is our prevention measure.  Vintage amps are sold as-is because they can need service intermittently.  Everything is tested here in our shop on the way into our inventory, and again before shipping.  We will cover shipping damage, but we cannot be responsible for the failure of vintage components in 20-to-50-plus year old amps. Shipments will require signature on delivery, no exceptions.  If there is damage, the buyer must retain all packing materials intact and picture them immediately and send them to sales@maharsvintageguitars.com.  Less than 1% of our shipments are damaged in transit, and we are committed to making sure your item arrives safely, but we are taking these additional measures to make sure you are happy with your purchase.
