    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.

One of your Videos from last year you were showing examples of your Rhythm playing styles and you also explained why you sometimes used different Picks . Such as the Dunlop Purple Sharp . My Question is , when playing Lead Solo's , if you're using that Pick do you prefer Alternate Picking or Economy Picking ? Thanks Tim . I hope you're doing well . 🎸

      @@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. You can sit in front of those speakers for a longer period of time without ear fatigue
