Featuring EL34 power tubes, a larger output transformer and a tweaked preamp voicing to better match the tubes and the tranny, the Badger 30 not only has more power and headroom than the Badger 18, it has more aggressive and pronounced midrange that is punchier with a tighter and more focused lows. It's a bit more reminiscent of 50 watt EL34 Marshall amps. Although called the Badger 30, this handsome little beast puts out 25 watts and has enough power to cut through a dense stage mix and handle medium-sized clubs and similar size venues such as a church. \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #112244; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Suhr Badger amps can operate in 3 distinct modes for a variety of musical situations.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eMode One:\u003c\/span\u003e The first is the non-master-volume mode. When the Drive and Power knobs on the far left of the front panel are turned all the way up, they are out of the circuit. This means the Gain control on the far right becomes the volume control. The EQ section of Treble, Middle, and Bass act as normal.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is the ultimate in simplicity like the great non-master vintage amps and ideal for playing in small clubs and venues where you can really get the power section involved in the tone you're getting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f32b02\" style=\"color: #f32b02;\"\u003eMode Two:\u003c\/span\u003e The second mode of the Badger kicks in once you bring the Drive control into the circuit. The Drive controls the amount of signal being sent into the power section, which in turn controls the volume level. The Gain knob now acts as a preamp gain control. This mode is the familiar \"master volume\" setting on virtually all modern guitar amps being produced out there today. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#112244\" style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f32b02\" style=\"color: #f32b02;\"\u003eMode Three:\u003c\/span\u003e The third mode engages the unique and extremely effective Power Scaling feature. In this mode, the Drive control becomes like a secondary gain control and the Power knob controls the overall volume. With careful balancing of the settings of the Drive and Power control knobs, you can get power tube overdrive from moderate to bedroom volume levels with a full transparent tone without the squashed compression artifacts of most attenuators and load boxes. With the Badger, you now have total control over your tone and volume from the clubs to churches to garage rehearsals to home recording to late-night practicing in your bedroom.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The \u003cb\u003ePower Scaling\u003c\/b\u003e feature lowers the wattage to the power amp, allowing the power tubes to clip. The tubes run cooler and aren't running as hard compared to using the speaker load while still retaining the interaction of the tubes and speaker(s). This technology allows the output power of an audio amplifier to be dialed down from 100% to less than 1%. This requires a modification to the amplifier's power supply.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Unlike external attenuators or load boxes, which interfere with the amp-speaker interface, Power Scaling does not alter that relationship between the output tubes and the speakers. Tube life will be greatly enhanced by the Power Scale circuit as well. What you get is improved transparency, less squash, more natural and pleasing compression, and the sound of the power tubes working hard. Add the tube-buffered effects loop with a fixed level send for use with both instrument-level pedals and line-level rack effects and you've got one very versatile tone machine ready for a variety of environments and musical situations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #339966; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuhr Badger 30 Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #142747; font-family: Verdana;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#142747\" face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-1\" style=\"color: #142747;\"\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#f03d04\" style=\"color: #f03d04;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePower Output:\u003c\/span\u003e  25 Watts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOutput Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e  2 x EL34\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePreamp Tubes:\u003c\/span\u003e  3 x 12AX7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRectifier:\u003c\/span\u003e  Solid State\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eControls:\u003c\/span\u003e  Power, Drive, Bass, Middle, Treble, Gain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eFX Loop:\u003c\/span\u003e  Tube Buffered\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/span\u003e  Dual 4 Ohm, Dual 8 Ohm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/span\u003e  20.5\" wide x 9.25\" high x 8.25\" deep\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/span\u003e  30 lbs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #112244;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/span\u003e  Cover included!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suhr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31425755938862,"sku":"SUHRBAD30HD","price":2095.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4003\/products\/New-Badger-Main.jpg?v=1569951656","url":"https:\/\/www.humbuckermusic.mom\/products\/suhr-badger-30-head","provider":"Humbucker Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
