“Let’s Build Some Crazy Shit!” Through a good friend and one of the best guitar techs out there, Jason Baskin, we found the future KHDK head engineer, Antonin Salva. In the early hours of the morning, we decided it was a brilliant idea to breathe fresh air (with sulphuric notes of the underworld) into the world of guitar effects. Nocturnal Beginnings In 2012, we found ourselves in Prague drinking too many of the world’s best beers and discussing tone. We grew up loving music and sound – and through the years, this love remained. We grew up trading guitar pedals to try out as many as possible.

We grew up taking odd jobs and saving money to buy gear. KHDK KHDK begins… It feels like a long time ago.It is with great reverence and respect that we build each and every one of these models to be a close representative of the originals, yet painstakingly working in improvements by incorporating features that make the guitars great to play and allow for greater consistency from guitar to guitar. We want these guitars to be your go-to guitar every time! The guitars we build, and you see across the pages of this web site, are the materialization of our admiration for those instruments and players that inspired us when we were young, and still inspire us to this day. We are adamant about using high quality raw materials, superior components and hardware in every build. Quite simply, we’d like this to be the best playing guitar you will ever own, the guitar you can’t put down and the guitar that inspires you to be your most creative. We take great pride and have a genuine love for finely crafted, great playing instruments and the music they help create.

Players and artists choose our amps for our classic lines, dependability, playability, and most… When you experience a Bad Cat for the first time, you’ll notice clarity, tonal agility, dynamics, and balance. This results in an amp which offers the player the shortest route and an instant connection to tone, an amp that never gets in the way of creativity.

Each Bad Cat amplifier is thoughtfully designed to be incredibly flexible without the need for fussy design and overcrowded control panels. We are constantly challenging ourselves to think differently, be creative, and broaden our horizons while always mindful of delivering extraordinary tone and unmatched customer service. Naturally, all amps can be traced back to a handful of original designs- those pillars of tone we all hold sacred and true – but at Bad Cat, we have no interest in offering another spin on the past. By continuously seeking innovation, we are inspired to design outstanding purpose-built products, allowing players to express themselves in their own, personal way. The natural evolution of our company and products builds on our knowledge and reputation in guitar amplification. Bad Cat At Bad Cat, we are laying the foundations of a bold and exciting future of tone.
