Suhr Badger 18 Head

Discover the Suhr Badger, a single-channel amplifier that pays homage to legendary British amps, delivering crystal-clear tones and midrange-rich overdrive.

Overview

The Suhr Badger is a single-channel amplifier designed to interact dynamically with your guitar’s volume control and adapt to your playing style. Thanks to its cathode-biased power section, this amp delivers dynamic, plush tones without the need for adjustments when replacing power tubes.

Exceptional Sound Response Thanks to Adjustable Power

The Suhr Badger’s Power Scaling system allows you to achieve the sonic response of a high-power amplifier while playing at manageable volumes. This mechanism controls the voltage supplied to the output section, reducing power while preserving tone and feel.

• POWER: Reduces the voltage to the power section for playing at low volumes without losing tone.


• DRIVE: Adjusts the input level to the power section, acting as a master volume control when power is set to maximum.

Flexible controls for optimal customization

The Suhr Badger offers a variety of controls for fine-tuning the sound.

• GAIN: Adjusts the amount of preamp gain using two cascaded gain stages.


• TONE CONTROLS: The post-gain bass, midrange, and treble controls allow for passive adjustment to achieve the desired sound.

We recommend starting around 5 for each tone control and adjusting to your liking. When increasing the Gain or Drive, it is advisable to reduce the bass to maintain clarity and definition in the low end.

A high-quality effects loop to enrich your sound

Every Suhr Badger is equipped with a fully buffered tube effects loop, which works equally well with stompboxes and line-level rack equipment.
