"In some ways, it's more authentic." line got a proud/satisfied nod out of me. I see what you did there.
Hahaha so good
I love it when Phil demos an amp. It’s great to hear him play.
I love when ANYbody reviews a tube amp. Seems to be less and less cool to do so these days. Glad Phil isn't relegating them to "outdated" like many others are.
@@chuckjcarterlike who? Tube amps are revered by guitarists.
Absolute beautiful sounds and great playing. Well done BadCat.
I like the versatility of the amp demonstrated. "more authentic" now that was brilliant!
I really enjoyed this demo. I especially enjoyed the clean tones with different guitars.
sounds great with the gretsch filtertron pups
Nice sounds !!! And the wall 🧱
Phil thats a great sounding amp. It really helps to hear it paired with different types of pickups and how they react. 🎸
Really digging your playing Phil! You've really taken things up to new heights!
Bad Cat makes great stuff. But for $200 less, I think I’d go with a Soldano Astro. I was shocked how great the clean and crunch are on that amp. I thought it was just for high gain.
That looks like a great amp.
20 vs 38 Watts makes the difference
Cant wait for the the full deep dive on that beautiful Heritage!!!
Fantastic work Phil, streets ahead of the crowd once again !
When you first switched to the single coil mode and cranked the gain on the Keisel , it reminded me of the tone Curt had on Nirvanas Lead Belly cover .
Most comprehensive amp review I’ve ever seen. Thx for playing so many different guitars on the clean and dirty channels.
That amp sounds so good!
wow it's sounds wild, very bad cat. Love the loudness, it's fat and very dynamic. Great demo ! Thanks
Wow. Very sobering.
In 1998, I bought a "Bluesbreaker" 2x12 combo for $1K and still have it.
Played hundreds of gigs, a little wear, but never changed tubes or speakers.
WTF how did you get the output valves to last alm 20 years?
Never fail to enjoy the comprehensive test you do on gear reviews. The fact after all this time you still maintain an honest opinion should be overlooked. Long may you continue to
Sounds great!
sweet sounding amp
Ironically, I loved the clean tones from this amp. Every guitar sounded great clean, but that Kiesel clean sounded incredible. The Gretsch was sweet, too. And the Strat. Hell they ALL sounded great!
Woo that thing sounds sweet
$2200 it had better sound great
@@allgrainbrewer10you can get these new for $1700. That's just the minimum advertise price.
Sounds great
Well done sir.
Great review on the amp! I would love to hear more about your thoughts on the h-150 custom core 👍
Aluminum knobs actually sounds like a good idea on a physics standpoint. Think of them as tiny radiators or heat sinks that may help regulate the temperature inside the pots. Don’t know if it does anything but may keep things more consistent and less heat on the inside.
That gretch sound is the intro to better call saul. Spot on
Sweet vidz my friend
Phil's playing has improved. Nice one Phil.
Sounds amazing! Take my money! That Gretsch tone reminded me of Better Call Saul theme.
Amp sounds great but I love that gretsch! Been thinking of that getting the same or the one with dynasonics
Definitely an interesting amp, Badcat was definitely flying under my radar. I'm definitely looking more at the Revv G50 is amazing to me!
Good demo. Each guitar/type of Pickups sounded very different. Many months ago, you mentioned that you thought higher output Pickups made Modelers sound better. Do you think that is still the case? Do you make any Pickups to take advantage of Modeler circuitry/electronics?
Great demo! Was curious. Have you tried the Lynx? If so, how do these two amps compare?
I think those metal knobs are great heat sinks! Good job Bad Cat!
warm to the hands too
You have a few pretty decent guitars there, Phil!
The Heritage has a nice solid sound.
Got to see and hear the new swirl...❤
? off topic but, what do you think of the Fret Maestro tools and theyre video ?
That heritage sounds good , did they fix the fret size yet
The BadCat CleaaaaN, is so Good...great tones and demo vid Philip, this amp sounds considerably bigger than EL84's & 38 Watts. John @ BadCat runs a gear Company The WAY it's supposed to B Run. Cool amp
Still only a modeller man but one day, once my ability deserves it, a tube amp is coming my way so really good to get the insights on what to listen out for. Cheers
I recently bought my first valve amp after decades of solid state stuff , that I had been reasonably happy with . I bought a second hand Marshall DSL40 . It's loud and it's pretty heavy as it's the combo , but wow ! That sound is ace .
GREAT sounding amp! (Then it SHOULD be for $2K+!)
Great clean ch & od ch!
Some amps can't seem to do both! Either have a great, sparkly clean channel & a ratty or flubby od channel, OR a dull clean ch & a kicking o/d channel!
FYI, when you test the temperature of electronics, engines, etc, you try not to raise the ambient temp outside of it's reported error range. Er, 'outside' is not a controlled environment. They could have had the sun at the back of the amp, or the front, on the top, or in the shade, etc. A strong breeze, humidity, etc. Most metal amp chassis act like a heat sink, but the pots making the ABS PLASTIC KNOBS that hot, is not normal heat dissipation of a tube amp.
Daumn... that amp sounds great even through my phone speaker!
Really Top sounds from that AMP, Ohh to Dream, and a Head version Perfect is it through the Cream Back speakers As hunting a 12-inch for my Marshall 2 12 half stack, afraid to find Aust Price maybe they'd Love an Aussie to have one, it would be an honor lol. It would be a great addition to my Marshal, Fender combo, and Orange 2 12 white tolex limited edition hand wired. which was pure luck, especially in Australia. Have to Ask which Hat are you decorating your Nut with LOL, As got to order myself one, and I actually do like the black shirt you have been wearing, Think Mrs McKnight be arranging any to buy? As if getting a hat may as well add a different shirt to my collection of KYG t-shirts, Yet dig the colour Change idea wanted a Gold Top Les Paul yrs now. Yet still want to buy A: Relic 60's Custom shop for that 50th birthday 3 years back as not received a gift for fathers Day birthdays or even a card stopped buying things and signing my kid's names to show other ex-military at the CBT closed door group days. My replacement was very jealous for some reason, as he never worked a day in life and my kids used to mention often when I was in the Army, when told Med Discharge I tried hard to have it stopped. played my injuries down and worked and achieved 2 Dip of Applied Science Degree as I've never taken handouts from the Government yet few years too many ain tabs to hide it and on top of PTSD night sweats passing out and more fun I was told my body tried to say you're broken but I kept pushing till buying lunch for wife and kids and passed out Right in front of everyone in a shopping mall. Soaking wet. security came of course. Once had seen I wasn't a junky, Told my wife his father ex Vietnam asked her some questions and said I'm no Dr but its hard for them to open up, suggest you try to get him to see a Mental Health person, which Big Bad arse soldiers don't volunteer to go see The Voodoo DR's as they kill careers in defense. Yet did and am now in a rental 24/7 with Trooper my Service dog. maybe the replacement stubbed his toe while chasing rainbows & Unicorns and became so distressed, went he got a government pension that can't ever work. sad to see my son thinks that's the way and has not attempted getting a job, If I speak up I'll be marked the trouble. Yet both my kids were talented and were doing really well at school, even taught himself Acoustic I bought him Tears in Heaven note for note I was blown away, thinking how cool to jam with my son. Yet only a few months after they stopped visiting and only texted. A $1000 acoustic was just thrown into the shed and leaked. They only listen to gangster rap last I heard. My replacement also is 18yrs my junior lmao. So life sucks. Sorry to have a vent. but I also really love to put one of your humbuckers into my USA standard Strat Custom shop fat 50's yet the dynamic I think was called humbucker has just never been what wanted, till I got My RI 61 Faded cherry SG, Would be ANY chance of single humbucker being made to get it on par a great USA Strat 2009 but just too loose sounding bridge Humbucker. FUBAR DAY today apologies!! been KYG binging show day Matt AKA (Grumpy Digger 😨)
Sounds a lot like my Carvin nomad 50wt1x12(Belair) sounds over the net almost exact, then again the nomad has 4 el84 & 5 12ax7 the el84 really color the sound and cause early brake up. Unfortunately the drive channel on the nomad is weird not made like most other drive channels, the black cat drive section is much better but i can achieve that sound with pedals. Anyway im just noticing the similarities of the amps. i have to say amps just keep getting better but also ridiculously expensive.
Analog trem, yes.... but why not make the trem osc digital to allow "tap" speed setting? Once you have a cpu in there already for reverb... even a cheap ARM cpu could handle an osc without hurting the reverb.
Just got the Black Cat for Christmas. Can't buy another.
No pain, no gain or something
Sounds like my $500 Bugera 1990. That Heritage top is the real star of this video.
Playing some man in black while wearing black. 😎
Sounds big.
Sounds great, but shared eq never works for me 🤨
Been on the fence for a Badcat or Dr z.
Both great. I demod both and went with a Badcat Cub for a bit and ultimately a jetblack. I do want a maz 18 as well at some point
@@jsauce311 G A S ‼️ the struggles are real ‼️😂👍
@@kevinalfrey2633 I feel your pain!
These are great videos. I can now honestly say this one isn't for me thanks to this insight.
Keep on pickin' Cowkidz. Live 4 Ever Compadres
I tried one of these and it sounded great, but unfortunately my playing isn't good enough yet to warrant this amp...😮💨
Playing ability has no bearing on an amp,your wallet does
Bad Cat!
Meow!
🤣🤣🤣
Yes, do a video of the shortage of people taking up the trades.
So, you have a Petrucci Ernie Ball, a PRS, a real LP, an Ibanez RG and you couldn’t play any of them through the amp?
Open it up, let's see the inside.
They gave Badcat a bad name when they pushed those cheap Chinese versions, hopefully they cut that crap out and stick with quality amps
Half your house contains stuff made in other countries including what you typed that comment on ,but as long as it’s not guitar related it’s ok lMFAO
