Description

When the designers at Bad Cat set out to build the best high gain amp on the market, they brought years worth of knowledge and tricks to the table combining them into an EL-34 based, Class A tonal powerhouse. The Lynx delivers unreal note articulation at full saturation but dishes out full on harmonics in your chord work from the Class A wiring. The three dimensional effect that this has on your tone is something that players are constantly seeking. The clean channel on the Lynx is much more than the two knob format seems. Running the clean channel in Class A will bring out all of the shimmer in the highs and ghost harmonics in clean tones and sounds great with delays set in the Effects Loop.

    Amazing high gain head, with a sparkly clean channel.

    The high gain channel is capable of nearly anything, and the clean channel is classic Matchless tone.
