Our take

Who this one is for

The Badger 18 is the Badger head with a 5Y3GT tube rectifier feeding two EL84s, for about 15 watts. It is a single-channel, cathode-biased amp, so power tubes can be changed without a bias adjustment, and it follows the guitar's volume control and the weight of your picking hand.

Power Scaling sets the voltage to the output section and the Drive control tracks it, which takes the amp down as far as 1 watt while keeping the feel of a head run flat out. A footswitchable MOSFET Boost in the preamp opens up cleaner and dirtier settings, and the effects loop is tube driven and buffered, so it takes pedals and line level rack gear alike.

Of the three Badgers, this is the one with the tube rectifier. The Badger 35 Head runs four EL84s on a solid state rectifier for about 30 watts, and the Badger 30 Head moves to a pair of EL34s at about 25. Suhr's matching cabinet is the Badger 1x12 Cabinet, loaded with a Warehouse Veteran 30.

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.
