Bad Cat® 312 Closed Vint

TRY IT

The Bad Cat® 312 Open Vint is an Official Bad Cat Amplifiers® DynIR™ Inspired by – and Captured from – a 3×12 Bad Cat® enclosure outfitted with a trio of Celestion® Vintage 30 drivers.

Rooted in a culture spearheaded by innovation and the pursuit of next-level tonal prowess, Bad Cat Amplifiers® are an uncontested pillar in the modern world of amplifiers. With an ethos fuelled by the design of outstanding purpose-built products, their line-up puts the player first, empowering them with everything they need to express themselves in their own, personal way.

A firm favourite of heavyweights including Slash, Steve Stevens and Peter Frampton, the Vintage 30 is a true icon in contemporary tone shaping. Fusing complex overtones, a warm well-rounded low-end and an immediately identifiable vocal mid-range – all capped with detailed highs for deft levels of clarity – it’s primed for everything from classic rock to a contemporary drop-tuned onslaught. When retrofitted into a primo Bat Cat® 3×12 closed-back enclosure, expect the perfect blend of driver compression, pin-point accuracy, expertly-tuned resonance, relenting power and a level of articulation that defies belief.

The Bad Cat® 312 Closed Vint has been expertly captured by Beau Burchell (Guitarist for SAOSIN & critically-acclaimed Producer and Mix Engineer) and is available separately or as part of the Bad Cat® Origins DynIR Cabinet Collection. Featuring a purpose-spec’d selection of studio-grade microphones, the Bad Cat® 312 Closed Vint guarantees seamless adoption from the studio to the stage.
