I wish they would make a 4xEL84 VERSION for extra clean headroom. I'm guessing it would be 30w class A… And yes I know about the 40w EL34 Version
I've been Gigging a cub 40r for 8 years now. Love it
Great groove and playing in the intro, dang!
The one thing I don't like about the Helix family is that they don't have any Bad Cat models. The real thing is too rich for my blood.
Knocked the top hat off your Tele! ????
1:11 That happens to me all the time!
I’ve got the Jet Black and love it! It became my number one.
Did you find the top hat knob?
Cornford hurricane get you to pretty much the same place for around £650?
I don't know if I miss that part but how is this for home use if you gig but play at home mostly?
Great playing as always. I have a question, do you typically run the tone knobs on your guitar all the way up or do you roll them off a bit?
Great demo — I've been looking at that amp and you gace me a lovely picture of what it can do – thank you ????
Sounds awesome. Love it.
I bought a cub about 12 months ago, cost me £2000 and on the whole was disappointed to be honest. Too sparkly and noisy surprisingly! It even had stiff knobs pardon the pun. Mine wasn’t hand wired and £2000 in my opinion is over priced, there’s cheaper amps out there with at least as good tone. All that said tone is a very personal thing but just not my bag…
Gain low/master high ????????
Try as i might, I never could do the Vox thing. I play a Strat 70% of the time, I've just never found them to be a great match. I'm talking about using it as "the" amp scenario, as opposed to as a pedal platform. Strats are chimy enough all on their own for my taste, it's why when i want a Marshall tone with it I've been going with the Silver Jubilee for a couple decades. The darker nature of the amp just lends itself well to single coils.
I do wonder how they would be as pedal platforms though. In general i find Vox to be neutral compared to Fender and Marshall, it's one of the things that's kept me from bonding them. It might be perfect for a platform.
… Though shilling out hand wired prices just to use it for a pedal platform seems excessive.
Really agree about Paul Drew. Great guitarist just like you, always something to learn.
With cleans like that they couldn’t have given it to a better guitarist to review.
My Bad cat Cool Cat el34 amp chimes very close to an el84 . I’m a big believer that transformer’s and hand wiring plays a bigger role than tubes when it comes to tone.
The amp is interesting for sure but at the price point (and below actually) there are so many awesome amps I doubt I'd pick this one. I had a small collection of hand wired amps including fender, marshall and vox as well as some boutique like cornell etc. I sold most of them. If I was going for a hand made valve amp at this time I think I'd go Emprize or Flynn amps if I wanted a tweed amp.
Im a big fan of EL84s. They sound so warm and don't get brittle when pushed.
I use a Laney Lionhearted or a Vox AC15 depending on the gig. I like being able to have those pushed amp tones that stay musical and don't suck at lower stage volume.
Sounds great
Is this the joy that professional musicians play with nowadays? (Man those Beatles in that Cave)…….. Well great playing have to say that too
I see Mark Samson is coming back to Badcat !! Watch out for NAMM… His work on Matchless is undeniable …
