Jacob Tilley's Amplifiers

Tilley: "Justin introduced us to the Roland JC-120. Growing up, I was told tube amps are the be all and end all, so I may have written off this amp without Justin’s guidance. The JC-120 is responsible for many of the classic ’80s chorus tones heard on the Smiths and Police albums, and it pairs nicely with digital effects. I found that going with a good solid-state amp is a great way to diversify your sonic pallet"

new mini amps for this mini tour @badcatamps

In this December 19, 2013 Facebook post, Bad Cat Amplifiers stated that Young the Giant uses custom, tour-friendly versions of the Cub III R.

They have Cub III R's . We built them in small cabinets to be easier to move around.

These amps are without wattage labels, but this August 11, 2012 The Gear Page forum post by a Bad Cat Amplifiers representative reveals that Tilley uses the 30W version of the Cub III R.

That would basically be a 30 watt cub. We do them all of the time for players. Jacob Tilley from Young The Giant is playing one now. He tells me all of the time that his amp search is over.
