I've been loving the Lynx. The clarity, ease of use, and versatility really won me over.
Hey brother, I’m glad you got the feels from my message the other day. As I said that day, you provide so much quality info-entertainment to so many people.
Being so exposed as you are doing RUclips content, it takes EXTREME BALLS to put yourself out there. Don’t stop until YOU decide it’s best for you.
Keep it Brutal my Brother 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
You go above and beyond, man. We all very much appreciate it and support you.
Thank.you Jeff!
Thanks for all you do, man! Keep up the good work. I know that I appreciate all the comparison videos and insights into the gear you feature on the show.
As always Jarrod I/we appreciate what you do for the community. Keep up the great content! I look forward to your videos as do others. I work from home so this is my way to get away and escape from the daily grind. Your advice, experience and honesty is truly appreciated! Thank you my friend.
Thank you Johnny!!! Always a pleasure
Appreciate you man. Always staying original and staying honest. Much respect to keeping this channel that way
Thanks for everything you do. People are quick to complain and fuss but don’t often say how much they appreciate things. You have a top notch channel and provide awesome no bs content all the time. Keep it up brother.
I appreciate that!
Wow! I think the Lynx killed that Mesa. Just my opinion.
I am so glad you got the Lynx in your collection. You remind me of me and the love of the craft bro.
Wow, thanks. I'm glad I have it as well.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together - one of my fav channels!
My pleasure!! Thank you
There are many great YT channels out there for sure. Besides the incredible content that you share and all of the advise you give to everyone, I think the one thing that puts you ahead of everyone is the fact that you will respond to questions, asked by your viewers and try and help that person in a one on one conversation. That in itself is something that is genuine and shows that you care and your experience is worth sharing, to try and help everyone grow in knowledge and have camaraderie with everyone. Your YT channel is amazing as is your help and your knowledge base. Have a Great one 🙂
Thank you so much for commenting.!
Thank you for focusing on the positive stuff and not giving in to the trolls that want to drag you down. There is another influencer that has started sharing his negative feedback and reactions to them and it’s a real turn off. Influencers have an opportunity to help make the world a better place and I appreciate it when they do.
I really dig your channel and what you share, keep up the great work! \m/
Several million upvotes
Head High Bro! Doing a great job! Appreciate and enjoy all the hard work you put in and to all the videos you put out! 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you so much!!!
Awww bro, thank your for your honesty, real feelings and all you do💯🙏❤️
Great videos man! Just stumbled on your channel. I have been playing Guitar for over 20 years and still learning stuff. Thank you for that ❤
Thank you so much!! Welcome to the community
Your content is so directly helpful to us guys in the market to buy , I had one of the 1st blockletter 5150s in early 90s and went through a drug addiction lost my equipment along with alot more and spent last 15 years rebuilding life and just didnt play for that time of recovery now im clean and playing again im rebuilding gear and got a ENGL FB 25 and use HELIX but your videos led to another 5150 stealth and it is so perfect for my taste , there are tons of great amps now but your videos really help dial in and help nail down the right choice , unless you have direct acceso to all these amps it's hard to be sure if your putting your hard earned money in the right place thanks for all the info and help
Thanks so much for commenting and for sharing your story here.
I'm so happy for you regarding getting your life back on track and I hope you're living your best life now.
I'm so glad my videos helped you make the best choice with your amplifier purchase.
Congratulations on the stealth, that thing is a Beast!
Been enjoying your demos of all the rare monsters of high gain from Redseven to Badcat and beyond. Also your cheerful and friendly mindset is what the high gain community needs cause there are so many trolls out there that ruin it for everybody. NB: I just noticed I did not subscribe so here is a sub for you. Cheers from Morocco.
Thank you so much. I really needed to hear that today. Welcome to the community and thanks for subscribing.
Thanks!
We’ve had awesome conversations in the past about certain Gear and tones… to date you’ve never lead me down the garden path to making bad purchases. In fact, you’ve been instrumental in some of the purchases that I’ve made. Keep doing what you’re doing brother… Cheers!
Thank you Dave!!
The more I watch your videos, the more I am really impressed with you and your channel. You really know what high gain amps sound like and how to dial them in. It's readily apparent that your passion is music and playing guitar. I love heavy metal, but I play a lot of different kinds of guitars, amps and styles. I have been playing guitar for 50 years, so heavy metal is not my main thing thee days :) But I seriously love guitar amps! There is something so visceral and alive with high gain tube amp that guitar players understand. I can tell you put a lot of time and passion into your videos and this channel.Besides being a killer guitar player, you are honest and want to help others find their dream amp. Most importantly, you are a nice guy! Best of luck with your channel.
Wow, thank you so much, this comment really made my day.
I definitely agree, playing through an amplifier is so amazing. It's a living breathing thing!
The Badcat is a bad muthatrucka for sure! Thanks for the killer content and your honesty.🤟🏻
Great playing, great music, great tones, great channel… great guy! Thank you Jerrod, you are an excellent ambassador for Metal 🤘🏻😎🎸
Wow thank you!! Made my day
I"m, proud of you bro.
Man, recently I was removing most of my subs to leave only those that is beneficial to watch. I am fighting social media addiction and I have to say you are one of those youtubers that give me something to think off every video. Thank you for your content and please never give up. 🤘
Thank you so much for commenting and for the support, that really means a lot
It's really nice to see that you dedicated a big chunk of this video to the positive comments this time. Goes to show all the support you've got 😊
I'm in search of buying my first tube amp for around a 1000 bucks. Can you share your recommendations in that range?
Thanks for commenting, I will definitely answer your question in the next Riffs and responses video.
Hard to beat the Stealth for brutality ! Love your channel brother !
I also like the stealth
Yeah that amplifier is just pure rage isn't it? Thank you so much for the support.
Really enjoyed this one. That's the first time I've heard the full mix of those riffs definitely a badass quality metal song 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!!
Thanks for the video Jarrod excellent as always, How does the ODD box sound with the evh Iconic head which i have am planning on getting that pedal, and I have 2 DSL H 100 watt heads I was planning on using that pedal on those heads as well.
Thank you very much, good question, I'll have to find out for you.
I'm sure it will sound great with that amplifier. That said, it's always fun testing things out
I always enjoy your content. Sometimes I comment my own two cents but its all for the community.
Don’t let the haters get to your head! There’s a reason we all keep coming back. You do awesome things!
I am still in the building process of my pedal collection so I only have a Precision Drive when it comes to boost pedals. I was curious if you would have the time to do a boost pedal comparison while using one of your Tonex presets just to see how they react? I love your captures and I love the Precision Drive but it would be awesome to hear how the others react with your presets. If you don’t think it’s worth a video I understand just keep doing you!
Thanks for commenting and for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
I'll see what I can do regarding comparing some overdrive pedals for you guys.
Thanks for the suggestion, please be patient with me as I have a lot going on right now.
The Tone X profiles are awesome! I understand not everyone can afford all that gear but for a fraction of the price you can get some really killer tones.
Hey man your amp collection is awesome!
Your channel is the best on RUclips!
Don't listen to the haters, they will never be happy anyway (and most are just jealous)
I just picked up the Lynx and I love it!
Have you used the Odd Box with the Lynx?
I've been using an SD-1 with it, getting pretty good results
I seem to always come back the SD-1 with most of my amps (Lynx, Marshall 6100LM and my current fave P.W.E. Event Horizon)
I use the SD-1 or TS-9 with my Bogner 3534 and use the Precision Drive with my Hughes & Kettner TriAmp Mk.2
I'm wondering if if you think I could use an Odd Box
I have an Ibanez TS-9, Maxon OD808, Horizon Precision Drive, Boss SD-1, MXR Mod OD, Bad Monkey (rarely use it) and Fulltone OCD (never really bonded with it)
Do you think the Odd Box would give me something new?
(sorry for the length of my comment)
Thank you so much for commenting and for the kind words. much appreciated!
I'm trying to remember if I've used the odd box with the Lynx yet. maybe I can try that in my next riffs and responses video. I'll post that video on Monday
Hey Jarrod any plans on getting your hands on the new Blackstar HT Venue MK III 100 watt head ? Saw a few videos on YT and was really digging it… would be cool to see you put it through its paces !
Thanks for asking, I really want to get my hands on one.
I'll check around and see what I can do
Through the phone I preferred the Lynx. It sounded more throaty to me.
The last lead sequence was sick bro - the Badcat is BadAss
Thank you!!!
One the bad comments: I do not get the reason for it. Music is not a competition, it is a creative display of emotion. If it makes you feel good then it’s good. People should realize if you are either a pro or hobbyist musician we all have one thing in common. It’s a love for creating music.
GREAT Job Jarrod! The line-out can work WITHOUT a cab as well! For Silent recording!!! Per John T.
Thats good information!! Thanks for that
How loud is bad cat lynx head? Does it have a "bedroom volumn" ? I have roommates. 😅
Great vid Jarrod! Was hoping you’d compare the Lynx and JP2C. Thought it would quell my GAS for the JP but I still want it 😩😂
The pricetag and the build-quality makes me not want a JP2C. ( Yes, it sounds great. But other amps sound great too. )
Thank you. Oh yeah, the JP-2C is a must have amp
What OD pedal for a 50watt 5150 III ivory would you suggest? Using a TS9 right now, would an Warm Audio ODD pedal work well?
Good question, I think the ODD Box would warm that amplifier up a little bit. I really think it's worth a try.
It might help out the blue channel as well
@@TONEWARSgearshow Thanks for the reply, I really like the content you provide. 🤘
Jarrod, I have a question for you. I like watching your videos since we have similar taste in tone. What guitar RUclipsrs do you subscribe to and why?
That is a very good question.
I will definitely respond to this in next week's video, thank you very much
The Bad Cat sounds great man iam wearing head phones and the bad cat sounds pretty Bad ass.😆 🤣
The Bad Cat stills calling my attention, for some reason it remains me a little bit to the Hiwatt Fortin Mod for some reason
Hmmmm....interesting. that Hiwatt Custom Super Hi 50 was a very unique amp too. I bet there are some similarities. You might be on to something
I love that Stealth the EL34 is awesome as well the100 Watts of course !😅
Oh yeah, the 100watt el34 is awesome
While there are MANY videos that demonstrate the Bad Cat amplifiers, the truest ones in my view, are those that do not place an overdrive and/or distortion pedal within the signal chain. Maybe it’s just me however I will never understand the logic behind inserting an effect loop into the signal chain while attempting to demonstrate “the tone of an amp.”
I clearly demonstrated the amp with and without the overdrive pedal.
THE real winner here is Steve Shaheen. Steve bought a guitar with a headstock. Turns out; you can teach a tired, old, angry, mangy dog a NEW trick. And the 5150 ICONIC WOULD CRUSH ANY MESA.................period. For 1/5th the price. Evh Iconic for the Win.
Damn all people do is complain Jarrod!! Some people dont hve anything else to do.🤷🤘🎶🥁🤘🍺
I may be in the minority here but I preferred the Lynx over both the Stealth and the JP2C. 🙅♀
Thanks for commenting, it definitely held its own against those amplifiers didn't it? I think people should give it a chance
@12:10 IS WHY I FOLLOW YOU. I've had the pleasure of phone calls with you where you told me things I didn't want to hear. But I knew it was heartfelt. I know when you demo a piece of gear, I am getting the truth. People often say, "Hey Jarrod, thanks for all you do in the guitar community." And I think to myself, the youtube guitar community is nothing more than a bunch of sycophants. YOU are not. Please never follow the lead of the "guitar community." Please continue to do you. Please continue to tell the truth.
I will take your 10K subs and honest videos all day long over some big boob chick whom was flown to the factory "to get a better feel for how the product she is reppin is made!" I will take your videos all day long over some dude who screams, hates religion and changes his opinion based on which segment of the guitar product community is paying him. I will take your videos and "low sub count" over a long haired dude who has more channels than I have socks.......simply for the ad revenue he generates. When it becomes about money...........trust is lost. You have maintained trust for over 5 years. And I believe you will continue to keep that trust into the future. In closing: PLEASE NEVER BE A PART OF THE RUclips GUITAR COMMUNITY. They suck. You rule. And Mesa Is a horrible company. just sayin.
----Ben
Thank you Ben!! You rock dude!
who knows if the 5150 guy was using a boost or not
Haters gonna hate kid, FUGM, That Lynx has intrigued this old metalhead, might order one.
Steve vai leave me a comment no one leaves me comments someone besides myself love your channel
I don't think you are a gear snob. You said the Katana artist sounded good. So that was cool.
I like trolling some guitar channel dudes for fun. Louis Torres and Kyle Bull are kinda fun to troll once in awhile.
I don't even have anything against those guys, I just think it's fun to pick on them. 😆
Your mix at the end, Night Terrors, I had no idea you made any mistakes on it. It sounded great to me.
A lot of times, only the player knows if he/she makes a mistake. Unless the audience is very familiar with a piece of music,
they won't even notice small mistakes. Some players will even play things differently live, just to mix things up a bit. See if the audience notices. Usually, the only people in the audience who notice, are other musicians. ( Because they study and practice songs. ) Since I have been practicing "Moon Bark" lately, I have noticed that EVERYBODY plays that song different. It's the perfect song to take and make it your own. There is so many different things you can do with that song, and still make it sound like it's supposed to! Just learn the basic rhythm parts, and the chord progressions, and then load it up with all the fancy tricks in-between! Squeels, dive-bombs, hammer-ons, whatever you want to do, it all works! 😆
Thanks for commenting, I'm glad you didn't hear my mistakes LOL.
That bark at the moon riff is so much fun to play and it's also very challenging
@@TONEWARSgearshow It's pretty much impossible for me to play it like Jake played it. So I have to just play it my own way.
All my comments get edited out look at me learning how to play
Great video as usual in my opinion, the Mark series always sound terrible. Does the links have enough mid range to get really guttural? The reason you demo cleans is because any decent amp with a good clean channel it should be showcase and you’re not so stuck up your own ass that you think it is unimportant, also the only reason the Chugga Chugga guys talk shit on leads is because they simply cannot play them so then they turn it into a big joke. I have been eyeing this amp for a while. Bad cat is and always has been a hidden gem. they’ve never really do hundred watt heads
ever. But I think they pride themselves on having such massive iron in them that they still retain all the clarity at higher volume.
Thanks for commenting, yeah I think the Lynx has enough mid-range in it to get nasty
I appreciate what you said here regarding the cleans and leads.
I don't know why people don't demonstrate the clean channels, they are essential for most of us.
@@TONEWARSgearshow they would not know what to play on the clean channel lol
You old softy I’ve been learning a lot more after watching my videos scroll down past the short ones I did make a couple with my majesty
