Bad Cat Lynx 50W Head

The Bad Cat Lynx 50W Head: Precision High-Gain Mastery

Modern High-Gain Amplifier for Demanding Players

The Bad Cat Lynx 50W Head is purpose-built for players who demand absolute clarity, responsiveness, and power from their high-gain setup. Designed to react instantly to fast, staccato picking with tight low end, the Lynx also delivers upper frequencies that remain smooth while cutting cleanly through the mix. The midrange is articulated and complex, allowing your tone to breathe even at the highest gain levels.

Two Independent Channels and Unique Gain Topology

This amp boasts two fully independent channels, each with its own gain and volume controls, giving you full command of your tone in both live and studio settings. With seven gain stages and a Lo/Hi gain switch, the Lynx opens new tonal possibilities, ranging from crystalline cleans to molten distortion. The topology of the gain stages is designed for maximum clarity and control, minimizing noise even under aggressive saturation.

Hand-Built Craftsmanship and Quality Components

Hand-built in Southern California, the Lynx 50W Head showcases Bad Cat’s commitment to boutique quality. Featuring custom hand-wound transformers and a rugged Baltic Birch cabinet, this amp is built to withstand the rigors of touring without compromising tonal excellence. Its understated yet bold design makes it equally at home in a pro studio or on a dark stage.

Built-In Noise Gate and Buffered Effects Loop

To ensure signal integrity, Bad Cat includes a highly functional, adjustable noise gate that eliminates hiss without squashing dynamics. A buffered FX loop integrates cleanly with both analog and digital effects chains, giving you the flexibility to sculpt your sound without compromise.

Versatile Output Options and Performance-Ready Features

Whether you're plugging into a cab onstage or routing your signal for direct recording, the Lynx has you covered. With individual speaker outs (4, 8, 16, 2x4, 2x8 ohms) and a dedicated line out, it’s built to adapt to virtually any rig. A two-button footswitch is included for seamless channel control, and the amp ships with a power cable and protective cover—everything you need to get started.
