Description
Suhr Badger 35 V1 Head & Matching Suhr 2x12 Cabinet – Custom Red Finish. The newly designed preamp section includes a high-voltage cascaded MOSFET Boost (footswitchable) to offer a broader range of cleaner and overdriven tones with increased dynamic range, transparency and tactile responsiveness. The Suhr Badger is a single channel amp that dynamically interacts with your guitar’s volume control and responds to your playing style. The cathode biased power section lends itself to dynamic, spongey tones and requires no bias adjustment when replacing power tubes. ~30 watts, 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes, 4 x EL84 power tubes, solid state rectifier, tube driven buffered series effects loop, dual speaker outputs with variable impedance.
This is a fantastic boutique amp setup with the touch sensitivity, responsiveness, and build quality Suhr is known for. The Badger 35 delivers everything from sparkling cleans to rich edge-of-breakup tones and classic British-inspired overdrive. It works equally well for live performance, recording, and pedal platforms.
One of the standout features is Suhr’s power scaling, which allows you to achieve great tones at a wide range of volumes—from rehearsal rooms and studios to larger stages.

Badger 35 is an innovative mid-wattage amp designed to deliver classic tones at any volume. With it's quad el-84 power section the badger 35 summons a wide range of british tones ranging from west london to dartford. From warm complex cleans, to classic British high gain, and everything in between, Badger 35 delivers. Need that same high gain tone at lower volumes? No problem, Badger 35 offers power scaling to easily dial in real power tube crunch all the way down to 1 watt.
Power:
Power Scaling emulates the tonal response of a high wattage amp on 10, at manageable volumes. Power controls the voltage that feeds the output section and in turn, the wattage. As you lower the voltage of the power section you are reducing the amount of signal it can handle before clipping the output section. To compensate for this we use the "Drive" control so you can easily scale down to 1 watt without losing tone & feel.
Drive:
Feeds the input to the power section. With Power at 10 it acts as a master volume. As a rule of thumb, when you turn down the Power always set the Drive control within 2 numbers of the Power setting. If you set the drive lower than the power it will sound brighter, like a "master volume" amp.
Gain:
Controls the amount of preamp gain by controlling 2 cascading gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage.
Tone Controls:
Bass, Middle and Treble tone controls for each channel are post-gain and passive cut-style. We recommend starting around 5 and dialing to taste. As you increase Gain and/or Drive we recommend dialing back the Bass to retain clarity and definition in the low-end.
Tubes:
The Badger 35 tube compliment consists of four EL84 power tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes.
Tube-Buffered Effects Loop:
Designed to perform equally well with pedals and line-level rack gear. For best results ensure that the effects unit is set to unity gain.
Speaker Outputs:
Includes two speaker outputs in parallel and a 3-way selector switch for 4 Ohm, 8 Ohm & 16 Ohm.
