THIS AMP IS NUTS - BADCAT LYNX

Trying out the new Bad Cat Lynx amplifier and holy sheeeeets it's brutal. Long time since I had such a good time playing an amplifier.

Disclaimer: Bad Cat did send me this amplifier to try out, but they have no saying in how I make or what I say in my videos. The amplifier gets shipped back after demo. This is not a sponsored video.

Bad cat has to be the most "hidden" gem amps out there.... Everytime someone demos one... Everybody is shocked on how good they sound

[chrisquesenberry]

Holy shit what an incredible sound. I've seen these used live by Kurt Ballou and Steven Wilson, and they might have the best ears in the biz. Now Tosin is using them live, that speaks volumes to me. Such amazing clarity and cut and that may be the best boosted sound I've ever heard. Take my money!

[dgortych]

Tosin is running stereo badcats and one of them is this amp! Sounds incredible live. He had the best sound that night and Devin and DT played after them!

[cflowers]

Would like to thank you for this review man. I immediately ordered this head and am EXTREMELY happy with it. This is Orion’s amp. This is Zeus’ amp. The metal hero’s amp bar none.

Bad Cat has some ridiculously under-appreciated and, truly, little-known, absurdly awesome amps out there for every style.

[astraluniverse]

When you do that open D2 chord with this amp on channel 1 with mid-high gain set you're basically nailing Procupine Tree's sound 100%. Nice.

[FatalExit]

That amp sounds brutal, and your happiness with playing with it is infectious! And honestly IMO they should let you keep that amp, probably the best demo they could have got of it! I'd love to have one if RSI injuries hadn't taken away my ability to enjoy playing guitar (my first instrument).

[ryanpatterson]

Just saw Porcupine Tree yesterday, Steven Wilson uses the Lynx 50 with the custom 4x12 with celestions. It sounds massive. I would love a NAM model for this amp, just saying...

[danielg]

This is probably the best sounding amp and pedal combo you’ve ever posted! 🤟

[okaight]

I never would have known by the look that this is a metal amp. Sounds incredible. Sounds better without the boost IMO!

[angryadam]

Definitely one of the best sounding heads you’ve demoed. Sounds gnarly

[billyhughes]

I have the first version of this amp Bad Cat did around '08. I bought mine brand new in '09. Two channels, 50w EL34 - clean and dirt, 1/2 power swtich and a lowend boost switch -- no efx loop. Big clean channel that pretty much stays clean unless you drop it to 1/2 power and crank it. Dirt channel is fat, grindy and can get you in the metal ball park but is more suited to heavy hard rock tones. I love it -- my favorite amp. One of the unique things about it is each channel has a separate signal path -- I run it with an A/B switch with a different set of pedals in front each. Only down side -- it's so heavy. Lol. This new one sounds a bit more aggressive -- beautiful tones. Love that semi-clean crunch you can get from channel one. Great demo!

Best metal sounding amp to my ears. It has everything. Badcat never dissapoint.

[lokien]

Insane intro, among the best sounding amps I've heard on the channel.. Up there with the Soldano

[jsMalleus]

Good to see the lynx getting some attention. Bad cat makes some great amps; tried a cougar about a decade ago & that led me to get a Lynx 50 and Hot Cat 100, both were fantastic. I liked the lynx more than the hot cat (hot cat was a bit more compressed with high gain tones), so I kept the former and sold the latter to a studio in the area. Have tried a lot of amps since then & overall have yet to find one that beat out the lynx (older version) for me. Cleans are amazing and I love how raunchy the high gain tones are while still maintaining definition. They're very versatile amps too, the one I have was actually one of Chris Daughtry's amps at one point, which speaks to them not being one trick kitties. Don't sleep on the 50w cougar either if you're looking for some killer metal tones & a great clean channel on a budget & come by one.

[ZackSeifMusic]

There's a reason Tosin is touring right now with a full stack of Bad Cat Lynx amps and a pedalboard.

[bipedal_earth_roamer]

The intro jam, the bass guitar is mixed so well.

[joshmore]

Warm like an Orange but with Mesa thickness and a bit of that mark 4 twang from the early LoG albums, what a sound

[jonathanross]

Finally a good demo! Been debating this one since Beau put out his demo, I think I’m sold! Thanks Ola

[Landeville]

On its own, it would suit any doom / stoner / sludge track perfectly. Raw and natural sound. With right pedals, fits even more technical stuff.
