Great sound! Your demos get into just the right info and usage.

@timfarnsworth2071 Год назад

Been a while since I’ve watched any gear reviews and this amp sounded amazing with overhaul. And WOW Phil, your rhythm chops and groove have really improved with the time you’ve Ben putting in.😮🎸

@DavidHBurkart Год назад

Dang, that is a versatile, great sounding amp. One of the best digital reverbs paired in a tube amp. The trem is sweet, the crunch and overdrives are awesome

@MACKHAWKSS Год назад

looks just like the blackstar HT studio lineup. simple and sharp. love it

@ruebenblancas9115 Год назад

This sounds bananas. I love it. Watched year end video and had to come back to this. Great review, great amp

@TELarkin61 Год назад

As always, great job, Phil!

@suzannecoholic1467 Год назад

nifty sounding amp! thanks Phil!

@kevinnasky771 Год назад

Great review, Phil. Liked your playing a lot on this video too.

@rhykko77 Год назад

Thanks.....some very interesting tones there indeed .

@stevefinney123 Год назад

over the years you're playing has improved and improved and improved and improved. Your the only luthier I actually enjoy listening to.

@wakinginfinity Год назад

Great review! Was wishing for some examples with different pedals.

@blakejackson4483 Год назад

Gosh I love this channel.

@Michael.Jamie.Foxxworthy Год назад

I think you got the best tones out of all the tubers for this one. Ordered a black cat and a hot cat. Like these tones more but was worried about headroom.

@MattJarz Год назад

Wow, that really sounds good

@ThatIrishCowboy Год назад

man that is so punchy I love it! I want one!

@csnide6702 Год назад

I played with a guy that had a Bad Cat & it had the coolest dirty tone I ever heard. Good stuff

@mlem567 Год назад

I have a Catalyst. I saw your demo. I am selling my Catalyst. The power, fullness and tone with a tube amp can't be beat!!!!

@BigHairyGuitars Год назад

Sounds awesome!!!

@michaelrosa2589 Год назад

Very nice review!

@robertpurdy4452 Год назад

I listened to this on the Patreon site and it piques my curiosity. I don't have any valve amps, I have a Katana Artist and these Bad Cat amps just have something that makes my valve curious.

@reddoggie100 Год назад

Great review as usual Phil. Def want you to review the Cub & Hot Cat plz.

@GuitarTabsDaily Год назад

Best amps out there 🎉❤

@zentime8047 5 месяцев назад

I’ve had this amp for a month. Love it. I have been playing a Friedman Runt and I like the black cat (at the moment)

@jerrymckenzie1858 Год назад

I believe this will become their best selling amp!

@andocobo Год назад

Sounds great with that strat

@frantisca Год назад

Definitely not cheap, but still affordable in comparison with other boutique brands. Of all the range, it's the one I prefer: 20W, EL 84's, reverb & (very good) trem. Packs it all in a very attractive presentation. I would probably go for it if I wasn't already loaded with too many amps (6).

@funfreq9282 Год назад

Nice! Had a Hot cat 39R combo years ago killer amp weighed a ton but killer tone from that amp!

@David_Robert_1 Год назад

Hello 👋 How are you doing today??

@nighalator Год назад

Dang Phil nailing it,✌🏻🎸🎶

@purplelookplay2364 Год назад

Great job !

@srh361 Год назад

Damn that tremolo sounded like a great sounding Leslie!

@guitarsampsandcoffee Год назад

Sounds very bass-heavy almost abit wooly. Might be different in the room though. Nice demo and great playing as always.

@prophet8photo Год назад

Lynx review for sure! Oh I did not know that bad cat even built a high gain option.

@andrewhernandez9674 Год назад

Bad Cat makes some of the best amps around. Solid customer service too

@trekbsg Год назад

Nice sounding amp.👍🎵

@stug5041 Год назад

Would love to see the Lynx - curious to hear this brands approach to metal

@aldito7586 2 месяца назад

That thing kicks!!!

@lostinthecosmos1456 Год назад

I'd love to see a video of the Cub as well! Thanks for all the details and the review. It's interesting that the amp sounds so different (much warmer and less high endy) than most of the other video demos of this.

@ianmartens5286 Год назад

Sounds great

@Axman66 Год назад

+++tnx Phil, cool video+++

@Macmax7077 11 месяцев назад

This is a great amp. I own a DC30 (one of the few 2x10's) and a Redplate Magic Dust Duo. I want this amp.

@usmcyounggun6879 Год назад

I would love to see you do a review of the Lynx. That looks like the one for me and I’m really interested what your thoughts are.

@Tstdycgyr 7 месяцев назад

Great video and I bought the head after watching it. Note that the volume on this video is quite low

@dennisalbritton4754 Год назад

Very nice. I want one😊

@BLACKSYNTH Год назад

Used to have a Hotcat 30R and 2x12 cab. Super versitile! I found the gain top be a little fizzy. I just use Axe FX III now. Just better and more practical.

@alans1313 Год назад

sounds fantastic thru my denon amp

@JoshuaC923 Год назад

Sounds good

@kjypeace Год назад

Instant Judas Priest tone with your SG! Great sounding amp.

@andreaslundell7807 Год назад

Reminds me slightly of the Fender Bassbreaker, that full bodied tone.

@Foolian1332 Год назад

I think you'll dig the cub even more

@TheMerc1950 Год назад

Wondering why I had to go to Bad Cat's page to find this video? Great video though. Can't wait to order one!

@nedim_guitar Год назад

It showed up with a notification for me here on yt.

@diegozamorano3467 Год назад

Awesome amp

@77pearcearrow Год назад

Great video Phil, question are you going to try out one of the Cream T guitars? They sound amazing!

@KevOppelt Год назад

I would like to see the higher gain Lynx.

@rhymeskill Год назад

Man, I love the cat eyes. I may need to grab an older one before they’re gone.

@nicolasrivera5310 Год назад

Eyes gone is a sad move. They want the new generation to notice BCA.

@rhymeskill Год назад

@@nicolasrivera5310 I agree 👌🏼

@TarnishedViking. Год назад

For real it's bogus! Instead of having an amp that does everything like Boss downloadable upgrades. It's Break my wallet please, with more hardware I don't need. P. T. Barnum said it better.

@obicross Год назад

Its where the tone is 😁

@MiguelMakesMusic Год назад

my thoughts exactly! these were on my wishlist when I was very young.

@uniknot Год назад

Should Have kept the eyes! Great Amps!

@limpindug Год назад

Enjoyed your review bud, the amps sound pretty sweet, you said you liked it so if you were going to buy one what would you sell off to get one.? 😂😂👍👍🥃Respect to you mate.

@AS__77 Год назад

Nice amp and video! To me it sounds very similar to Orange Rockerverbs?

@Joe_whatuknow Год назад

Phil, play the Olive SG behind you sometime.

@bryanwalters9574 Год назад

It sounds to me that this amp does for low-mids what a Vox amp does for high-mids. I dig it.

@alecboyyes Год назад

Vintage Voxes are quite scooped in the high mids when driven. I call it Vox 'growl' to Marshall 'bite'.

@sqidvishus Год назад

That dude from 60 cycle hum is gonna love this amp.

@che2335 Год назад

Wipeout!

@morrisfoster5106 Год назад

I love older gear .

@strings53notlob50 Год назад

We need a updated best $1000 or under guitar list with all the market changes that have gone on.

@TheTerribleGuitarist Год назад

Nice, i'm only now able to get a Fender Blue JR iv. Sooooooo, anyways. Nice amp.

@Jalliams Год назад

Great review, Phil! Love the punchy cleans and mid-gain pushed sounds. There’s a million drive pedals to boost if needed right? So the design is balanced well between all of its features and quality of build & commoners. If I had the coin to buy another amp, Bad Cat would be on my list to try in person, no doubt at all. Thanks again! Cheers

@sentforth5 Год назад

Maaaaaaaannnnnn......killin me

@gtr1952 Год назад

I think that, in its head format, might be my new small/medium venue amp, plugged into the Mojotone 2X12 Creamback cab!! Or the 2- 1X12 Alnico_Blue Pine cabs? I wonder why they can't use a 5-6 band EQ instead of treble/mid/bass? Or if anyone has tried to do that before? Maybe the 'ol Boss EQ pedal to experiment? Something to try anyway... Thanks!! 8) --gary

@mkrj2576 8 месяцев назад

How’s the shared eq when toggling between channels live?

@jonbaker9878 Год назад

Would love to see you review the 15 watt Cub and explain the K master?

@PhillipMcKnight Год назад

My understanding is they no longer make that amp. I will verify when I can

@JonBingham Год назад

The K Master was a master volume solution to give power amp saturation sounds at lower volumes due to the placement of the master volume in the circuit in relation to the FX Loop. The K Master is no longer used. We fixed the positioning of the master circuit in relation to the fx loop and now the amp sounds better, and the master works better, aaannddd the FX Loop works better and cleaner.

@-thirteen Год назад

The Black Cat was previously a Vox style amp that sounded stellar as a Vox style amp. This new amp is no longer that and sounds just like any other heavy bottomed Marshally crunch amp.

@michaelaugust3626 Год назад

No....actually Phil has 2-3 quarters of the high end rolled off. it doesn't sound this tubby in real life

@shane011471 Год назад

Since you have never played through one, how about the Lynx next!

@kerrymcauliffe9906 Год назад

Hey Phil nice review. I'm curious...they apparently eliminated the K Master feature? Did you experiment with bedroom level sounds to see if you could get good tones that way? Thanks!

@mattdoliver1984 Год назад

He does speak about that in the video 👍🏼👍🏼 16:05

@kerrymcauliffe9906 Год назад

Oh ok great…thanks you!! I was doing other things while watching. I’ll check that out. Much appreciated!

Any chance of a firefly thinline P-90 telecaster style guitar they’re only $169.91!

@jordangingrich7130 Год назад

Why did you take the duesenberg off the sg? did you like it??

@alexdenton6586 Год назад

Does it have a headphone out ?

@mkrj2576 8 месяцев назад

How about a one year later review of this amp?

@brianbeavers4659 Год назад

Oh man, l love 💕 TREMELO!!!

@newyeareves Год назад

I was confused why you called this a new amp from them. Haven’t they always had a Black Cat model in their handwired lineup? Any ideas how this compares to the old ones?

@jamiefischer2059 9 месяцев назад

How’s the master on this compared to the k master?

@jcesare1 Год назад

Just saw a Boogie MK VII demo on RU-vid - lots of bells and whistles, but to me the Bad Cat sounds better. Cheaper too.

@MichaelMiles-zs4px Год назад

Howdy Phillip! Have you ever played a Yamaha SA-2000 or a Yamaha SA-2200? I would especially like to see that giant grin on your face while you are deciding which axe has to go so that you have room for one of these in your collection.

@stanesposito2664 Год назад

Very fat sounding amp. Very effective tone controls. Love it. 👍

@jerryfraker377 Год назад

Are these made buy the mesa boogie people?I noticed that it is made in the same city in California as mesa boogie. Also there price points are similar. Also the eq controls work the same as a fillmore style of amp.

@PhillipMcKnight Год назад

Nope. Bad Cat is not connected

@jerryfraker377 Год назад

@@PhillipMcKnight Thanks for answering me phil !

@morrisfoster5106 Год назад

How much are they

@MartRockCafe Год назад

Looks like a boss katana artist or the other way around

@vanhalen5150jhs Год назад

yup, the Hot Cat.

@konstantinotte Год назад

Its a Fox AC20!

@joetrueblood7663 Год назад

Do they make a all tube amp?

@duderdudeedoo1984 Год назад

I think the reverb is the only digital element. So any of there non reverb amps should be “all tube”.

@AJC-jo3ds Год назад

Everything was sounding great until the price was mentioned… oh well, I’ll keep my $600 PRS MT15 which sounds AWESOME!!

@ferretwraith Год назад

I was hoping that the amp redesigns were going to take the company in a more modern direction, with features that competed with something like a Revv.

@tomfoolery2082 Год назад

This is probably a good amp , looks good but to much like blackstar to me .

@michaelweinman9051 Год назад

@matthewf1979 Год назад

PCB's get a bad rap in tube equipment. It's not deserved. The bad rap comes from poor quality boards and sub standard implementation(Fender/Mesa/PRS are major offenders). A high quality, double sided, through hole plated, high copper PCB will last as long as any eyelet/turret hand wired board AND if designed correctly, it will be quieter.

@swedeinla Год назад

They moved away from the whole reason I liked them in the first place. Class A powered.

@che2335 Год назад

Every tube amp has its niche and not for everyone this ones good. If u want 90% of it all get a fractal or kemper but if you write originals get YOUR tube amp.
