Bad Cat Amplification is celebrating 25 years of manufacturing this year – no mean feat in the turbulent world of boutique guitar amp production. Bad Cat was founded at the turn of the millennium to fill the gap left by the demise of Matchless and, in the early stages, there was some design help and assistance from Matchless founder, Mark Sampson.
However, Sampson left soon after to explore new ventures as Bad Cat followed its own path, with innovations including the K Master volume control and popular new models including the Hot Cat and USA Player Series amplifiers.
