This all-tube amplifier offers a wide range of classic guitar sounds. Driven by a cathode biased EL-84 power section and features a 5Y3GT tube rectifier, the Badger 18
delivers a variety of warm, sparkling cleans and rich, dynamic overdrive tones.
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.!
Whether playing a large stage, small club or your home studio, Badger’s Power Scaling feature provides added flexibility. This makes it easy to dial in your ideal tone at
any volume - from loud and cranked, all the way down to one watt.
The Suhr Badger
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.
Boost:
This switch engages a high-voltage cascaded MOSFET Boost resulting
in overdriven tones with increased dynamic range, transparency and
tactile responsiveness. This Boost is also foot-switchable.
Note: Keeping the Drive within 2 numbers of the Power setting will
retain the natural amp overdrive characteristics all the way down to 1
watt.
WARNING: Setting the Drive control more than 2 numbers higher than
the Power setting will cause the output section to clip beyond what is
typical and may produce artifacts and compression that the user may
or may not find appealing.
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.
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.
Gain:
Controls the amount of preamp gain by controlling 2 cascading
gain stages simultaneously to drive the input stage.
ON/OFF:
To power up the Badger 18, flip
the ON/OFF select switch to the
ON position. To power down,
simply switch the power switch
to the OFF position.
Tube-Buffered Effects Loop: Performs equally well with pedals and
line-level rack gear. For best results ensure that the effects unit is
set to unity gain.
Speaker Outputs: 2 parallel speaker outputs!
Impedance Selector: Rotate to match the impedance of your
cabinet.
A.C. Fuse: This fuse is connected to the AC primary side of
the Power Transformer.
1.25A/250V Slo-Blo (100v/120v)
.750A/250V Slo-Blo (220v/230v/240v)
CAUTION - Never use a fuse with a higher amperage rating.
Boost Footswitch: MOSFET Boost feature can be accessed
remotely via a standard latching/On/Off style foot switch or control
ruction device.
Please note: Connecting this jack to an external switching source
will override Badgers Boost Switch located on the front panel.
Tubes: The Badger 18, 30 and 35 have slightly different tube compliments (See Page 6)
*When replacing the rectifier tube, we require you change it with a new 5Y3GT. Using the 5Y3GT will ensure your Badger’s internal voltages operate properly.
