Operating Manual
THE LEASH
MODEL THE LEASH PEDAL:
Armed with Bad Cat’s proprietary Infinite Volume Control The Leash provides seamless
volume selection across your amplifiers power section. Unlike the attenuators of days
gone by, The Leash will not tame your highs, choke your midrange, nor rob you of your
bass. Whether engaged, or switched to bypass. The Leash is virtually invisible to your
ears, even as you increase or decrease your volume. From growl to prowl, its as simple as
a twist of a knob, in fact that is all there is, one knob! You can reap all of your tube amps
potential without the fear of clicks, pops, radical volume changes, or unwanted noises
whatsoever. From bedroom rockers to the working Cats, the Leash will provide you with
all of your tone at any volume, no compromises!
Previously players had to purchase a different attenuator if they owned cabinets with vari-
ous ohm loads. Not with the Leash, you are free to select between 4, 8, or 16 ohm loads!
The Leash also features dual inputs for your stack amplifiers, as well our A/C powered
internal fan cooling, which will ensure a rock solid performance.
