FS 2x Bad Cat: Black Cat 30R & Classic 20 w/ K Master pics added (finally!)

keir

I’ve decided to take the plunge and put these 2 up for sale. I was using them in an EPIC 2 amp set up for a while but have since gone back to a one amp rig and decided to settle for my old, battered, heavy and impractical AC30 as it just feels like home. 

Black Cat 30R 1x12 - £1295 PPG / bank transfer collected

12ax7 and EF86 channels with independent reverb and master volume controls 

I believe this is from around 2014 which was just before the k master was introduced. 

Considered one of the holy grail amps 

———————————————


Classic Deluxe 20R K master - £1150 PPG / bank transfer collected 

This is Bad Cat’s take on a Deluxe Reverb I believe but with reverb which isn’t a standard option and has the K Master control. 

This amp is fully hand wired point to point 

Pics to be added tomorrow

I’m based in Southport, happy to travel an hour or so to meet up.

Hi. 

The amps look great   What is the reverb like on the deluxe, is it comparable to a deluxe reverb reissue? Also when was it built?
Cheers

Hi Tim @daddyash ;

Apologies for the delayed response. I owned a DRRI but it was over 10 years ago now so it’s difficult to draw comparisons. I think the badcar might have slightly more drip than a deluxe reverb and maybe a bit more range in the pot.

Date of manufacture I believe is, I believe 2014. The K-master version was limited edition so there aren’t many around / much info online about them. 

The classic deluxe is in really good condition, anything else you would like to know please let me know.
