{"product_id":"copy-of-bad-cat-era-30-black-30w-hand-wired-head","title":"Bad Cat TSG Exclusive Era 30 Purple Sparkle 30w Hand Wired Head","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"50\" data-end=\"554\"\u003eThe Bad Cat Era 30 Head is a modern boutique amplifier built around one goal—delivering the absolute best of Mark Sampson’s legendary EL84-driven design philosophy with the flexibility and authority of a professional head format. Designed as Sampson’s return to Bad Cat after more than two decades, the Era 30 blends the unmistakable chime, punch, and harmonic richness of his most celebrated circuits with modern refinements that make it one of the most complete boutique amplifiers on the market today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"556\" data-end=\"899\"\u003eThis Tone Shop Guitars Exclusive version is finished in custom Purple Sparkle, giving one of Bad Cat’s flagship amplifiers a look as bold as its voice. Built for players who want standout tone and standout stage presence, this exclusive finish turns the Era 30 into something truly special without changing what makes the platform exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"901\" data-end=\"1615\"\u003eChannel One is powered by the iconic EF86 tube, delivering the harmonically rich, three-dimensional voice players associate with vintage boutique British amps. Its 6-way Depth control shapes low-end response with precision, while the Treble control acts as a highly interactive tone-shaping tool. Channel Two shifts to a 12AX7-based preamp for tighter, punchier response with vintage chime and articulate attack. Both channels feature independent gain and pre-phase inverter volume controls, plus a global post-phase inverter Master Volume for rich, dynamic tone at any level. The included two-button footswitch allows effortless channel switching or blending both channels together for expanded tonal flexibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1617\" data-end=\"1873\"\u003eBuilt in Costa Mesa, California with a heavy-duty aluminum chassis, custom Pacific transformers, premium leather corners, and true point-to-point hand-wired construction throughout, the Era 30 Head is every bit the flagship amplifier it was designed to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1875\" data-end=\"1885\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul
