Our take

Who this one is for

The Mod Shop Cub 15 combo is Bad Cat's grab-and-go amp: the Cub circuit the company was founded on in 1999, revoiced with tighter lows and reshaped mids, in a smaller cabinet than the Cubs that came before it. It's 15 watts from two EL84s through a UK-made Celestion Greenback, which is about as classic a pairing as a 1x12 gets.

It's a single channel with a Clean/Overdrive gain selector and two switchable master volumes, so the footswitch gives you a rhythm and lead setting without a second channel. The amp is very responsive to what's plugged in. A Strat and a Les Paul sound like two different amps here, and so do two Les Pauls.

Reverb, a buffered loop, a line out and extension outputs at 4, 8 and 16 ohms are all there for when it goes to a gig. The Cub 15 head is the same amp for players who already have a cab they love.

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
