Compact size, colossal tone — the Bad Cat® Ocelot delivers pro-level versatility with boutique pedigree, bringing shimmering cleans, high-octane gain, and studio-grade control into a portable, forward-thinking package.

When it comes to boutique amplification, Bad Cat® has built a reputation that speaks for itself: handcrafted builds, refined voicings, and reliability trusted by discerning players worldwide. The Ocelot embodies this ethos in full — a two-channel, 20-watt tube head that balances classic tube warmth with modern features to meet the demands of today’s guitarist.

At its core, the Ocelot roars with dual EL84s and three 12AX7s, delivering everything from crystalline cleans to searing high-gain saturation. The dual-channel design offers shimmering headroom on one side and ferocious drive on the other, making it just as comfortable backing delicate chords as it is unleashing solos with bite.

But this feline isn’t just about raw power — it’s built to adapt. With switchable 20W and 1W modes, you can go from stage-ready punch to late-night practice without compromise. A global master volume and presence control give you full command over your sound, while a buffered effects loop integrates seamlessly with your pedalboard.

Modern players will also love its forward-thinking feature set: integrated Two notes Torpedo™ technology with five custom Bad Cat® DynIR™ cabinet sims, MIDI control for deep preset management, and cabinet-simulated XLR/headphone outputs for silent practice or direct-to-recording setups. Add in a rugged aluminum chassis, a built-in carry handle, and Bad Cat’s renowned transformer set, and you’ve got a boutique tube head that’s equal parts tone machine and road warrior.

Whether you’re chasing vintage-inspired chime, snarling crunch, or bone-crushing drive, the Ocelot packs it all into a portable, road-ready chassis — the perfect companion for the player who demands boutique tone without compromise.
