I've been an unabashed Mesa fan boy for years, but Badcat absolutely killed it with their line up. There isn't a single model I didn't love the tone from. The Lynx absolutely kills the heavy while fat sounds yet still keeps things pretty well defined. It's like the tone I've had in my head came alive.

All though I am not a guitar player. I really do appreciate how you find your place in any song you do and do not over stay your welcome be it with Rick Springfield, Peter Cetera, Phil Collins. Always enjoy your work with Rick from Success Hasn’t Spoiled Me up to Tao. I always wonder it Tao was hard to make has that seems more Synth heavy. I can detect your playing on it but it seems so different. Plus SFO from Hard To Hold it just sounds like you and Rick was having a blast just rocking out.

@@jarredbaca8112 honestly, it’s a Tough call. I believe they are the same size. The bad cat is extremely heavy. It’s amazing. It’s probably a toss up on speakers at that point. The bad cat speakers are a little warmer to me than v30’s. I don’t know what Mesa is using now. But the UK made celestions bad cat has made for them are killer. I’d personally go bad cat.

The Line 6 HD100 Bogner 100 watt head and 412 cab has more killer gain and tube power for the $ than ANY amp out there! Master of Puppets rythm punch with Ozzy's Randy Rhodes Tribute Live album lead guitar sounds to George Lynch Dokken huge stadium lead sounds. Awesome!! Run both amps in stereo and you've got the best, loudest most beautiful rock/metal guitar sound that can't be beat. And you can get the Marshall jvm 210H, the Line6 HD100 Bogner head, and 2 Marshall 412 Cabs (any decent cabs) used for $2,000 or under. You will not be disappointed. Sean Black

Bad Cat is a little too Vox-y to pull off real high-gain chug if that’s the goal, but the amp sounds amazing for what it does do. Very transparent and clear, even when all gained up. Brendan from Circa Survive has used BC amps for a while, and I think this one nails that sound, a very contemporary, complex high-gain sound. For true chug, though, I think it’s still gotta be Diezel, Mesa, Peavey, or maybe Orange.

I have the first iteration of this amp. I bought it brand new in 2009. It 2-ch's -- one is super clean and two is full on high gain. Love it -- still my main "go-to" for most of the stuff I play. It has completely separate signal paths for both channels, so I can use it with an a/b switch and have different pedals in front of each. This newer version sounds great and I like the built -in things you can do to sculpt tones on each channel.
