Bad Cat Amplifiers is proud to announce the release of the Bad Cat Ocelot, an all-new compact tube amplifier designed for modern players who demand premium tone, total flexibility, and uncompromising quality—in a small 12 lbs. package.The Ocelot brings together the warmth of pure analog tube circuitry with advanced digital features, redefining what’s possible in a small-format amp. Whether you're recording at home, gigging, or practicing silently with headphones, the Ocelot adapts to your environment without ever compromising your tone.Compact Size, Massive FlexibilityEquipped with two independent channels and two distinct gain modes, the Ocelot delivers a wide sonic spectrum:Channel 1 features sparkling, high-headroom cleans with the ability to nudge into rich edge-of-breakup tones via a Hi/Lo mode switch.Channel 2 brings tight, punchy crunch and full-bodied, high-gain saturation—with articulate response and massive sustain.Each channel has its own volume control, and the amp includes shared Treble, Mid, Bass, and Presence EQ for easy tone shaping.Studio-Ready Features, Stage-Proven DesignThe Ocelot’s real power lies in its flexibility:Two notes Torpedo DynIR™ integration with six onboard virtual cabinet presets from the official Bad Cat DynIR Pack.Selectable Power Modes – Choose between 20W for full punch or 1W for quiet playing.XLR and Headphone Outs – For silent practice or direct-to-DAW recording, complete with Cab Sim and adjustable Cab Level control.Buffered Effects Loop – Keep your pedals sounding pristine and punchy.USB-C Port – For firmware updates and remote editing via Two notes Torpedo Remote software.MIDI Control – Full MIDI implementation for switching channels, modes, and cab presets on the fly.And thanks to its internal speaker load, you can use the Ocelot without an external cabinet—perfect for late-night jams or tracking in a silent setup.Built for Real LifeCrafted with a heavy-duty aluminum chassis and powered by a custom Bad Cat transformer set, the Ocelot is a rugged, reliable, and road-ready package.
