Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bad Cat’s Era 30 is a 30-watt tube amp head with two independent channels that can be switched or mixed. Channel 1 uses gain, six-position Depth, treble, and volume controls; Channel 2 has gain, bass, treble, and volume. A global Master Volume and buffered, hard-bypassable effects loop support controlled setups, while 4-, 8-, and 16-ohm speaker outputs cover the specified speaker connections. A two-button footswitch and amp cover are included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who need two independently controlled channels that can be switched or mixed.
- Rig setups requiring selectable 4-, 8-, or 16-ohm speaker outputs.
- Pedal rigs that benefit from a buffered effects loop with hard bypass.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players seeking a combo amplifier; the Era 30 is an amp head.
- Buyers needing a case or gig bag included; these are sold separately.
