Ocelot

Small Cat. Big Roar.

The Bad Cat Ocelot redefines what’s possible in a small format tube amp. Designed to deliver pro-level tones in a lightweight, portable package, the Ocelot is the ultimate tool for guitarists who demand power, flexibility, and zero compromise – whether in the studio, on the stage, or at home. This isn’t a stripped-down practice amp. It’s a fully loaded tone machine built to perform anywhere.

Two Channels with Endless Possibilities Channel 1 offers high-headroom, sparkling cleans that can evolve into rich edge-of-breakup tones with the flick of the Hi/Lo mode switch. This isn’t just clean—it’s nuanced and expressive, ideal for everything from lush ballads to intricate picking. Channel 2 takes you into high-gain territory, delivering everything from tight, punchy crunch to thick, saturated distortion. With independent gain and volume controls, you can sculpt your overdrive to perfection. Both channels are designed to work with you, offering the flexibility to switch between modes on the fly with the included footswitch.

YOUR TONE, YOUR WAY The Ocelot is more than just an amp—it’s a complete solution. Featuring a built-in EQ with Treble, Mid, Bass, and Presence controls, plus a Hi/Lo mode switch, you have the power to shape your tone for any style or scenario. Want even more flexibility? The Cab switch allows you to select from six onboard Bad Cat DynIR™ Virtual Cabinet presets, while the Cab Level knob fine-tunes your tone for the XLR and headphone outputs—perfect for silent practice or direct recording.

THE POWER TO DO IT ALL With selectable power modes, the Ocelot adapts to any situation. Dial it back to 1W for quiet sessions or crank it up to 20W to fill the room. And thanks to its internal speaker load, you can play without an external cabinet—ideal for late-night jams or laying down tracks straight into your DAW. The Two notes Torpedo integration takes the Ocelot to another level. Connect via XLR or headphones to access six virtual cab presets, including five official Bad Cat DynIR™ cabinets. Whether you’re recording, rehearsing, or performing, the Ocelot ensures your tone is always studio-quality.
