Got a Bad Cat Cougar 15 on the cheap. What am I in for?

[Kriso77]

So, I took a gamble and bought a Bad Cat Cougar 15 for what I felt was a great price on Reverb. It will be here on next Wednesday. I certainly don't expect this to be on level with a $2500 hand wired Bat Cat, but most of the reviews that I read seemed pretty favorable. 2 EL84's, 3 12AX7's & spring reverb in a class A amp for under $400. Anyone have any experience with these amps?

There are some threads for you to search, but pretty good stuff. The Vox ac15c1 is a great amp at about the same price, and the Cougar can hang with that IMO.

Keep the presence turned off and youll have lots of great options tonewise...
