Manufacturer's Description from Bad Cat

The Lil 40 is a tiny 40 watt tube amplifier of channel switching, duel EL-34 power! Channel one is similar to the Bad cat clean sound you have become familiar with in amplifiers such as the Cub II and the Black Cat. Channel two is a whole new breed! Simply put, channel two of the Lil40 will blow you away. You will not believe how ferocious this Cat is, regardless of its tiny size.

We started with hand wound power and output transformers and made the amp as small as we could with the transformers taking up the whole height of the cabinet. This point-to-point design is in a class by itself! The Lil 40 is a great live or studio amp covering all ranges of sounds and tones.
