The Era 30 is not a reissue, it’s a reimagination of the classic Black Cat 30/ C-30 circuit that we all know and love. Mark Sampson designed the Era 30 with a lot of love and care but he also designed it with intention. If you haven’t experienced the Era 30, go try one today!

The Mod Shop Hot Cat 50 is dripping with tones from clean to high gain but did you know it’s also a great pedal platform! Our friend @taylordanley ran a few heavy distortion pedals into the clean channel of the Hot Cat and it sounds incredible!

The Ocelot is not another lunchbox, it’s a Bad Cat amplifier. We designed it with the same care and attention as its “bigger” siblings! It’s packed with that classic string to string definition with the added benefit of @twonotesaudio Captor Tech so you can take it with you!

You can record anywhere with the PurePath! If you’re limited on space, or work in a loud environment, we’ve got your back! PurePath lets you record your amp in complete silence because it replaces your cabinet and microphone! It’s perfect for silent recording and silent stages!

PurePath gives you the sound of a guitar cabinet that you can dial in to taste by using the toggle switches on the front. No menu diving necessary, no apps to download to your phone. We kept it simple because great tone shouldn’t require a software update.

PurePath replaces your speaker cabinet and microphone in a recording or live environment, it’s a powerful tool allowing you to retain the feel and sound of your amp into a speaker cabinet! No moving mics around means more time doing what you love: playing guitar!

@ambientendeavors recently used the PurePath on his review of the @heritageguitarinc Ascent + H-150! If you’re a content creator and you want a high quality guitar tone without using a mic’d up cab, the PurePath is for you!

The joy of playing a tube amplifier is something every guitar player needs to experience. The roar of the amp, the air the speakers push out, the feel under your fingertips; it’s truly special. You don’t have to sacrifice tone and feel for convenience anymore!

When recording with the PurePath it’s important to remember to treat the PurePath like a microphone! Just like a mic, you may want to cut some of the sub lows so you have an extra crisp tone and a touch of reverb for roominess!

What does PurePath sound like with a Benson Monarch? @markjohnston has the answer for you! We designed PurePath to work well with any amplifier, not just ours. The feel that comes from PurePath is indescribable, you’ll realize how much you’ve been compromising with IRs.

The problem many speaker simulators have had historically is that you weren’t able to use one for your entire collection, you’d have to buy a unit that worked with a specific ohmage. We tried to get ahead of this with the PurePath!
