The Storm & The Silence
What makes a truly great modern high-gain amplifier? We pondered this as we set out to redesign the Lynx. Modern high-gain guitarists need tight low frequencies that punch through and respond quickly to staccato palm muting. They need high frequencies that cut without being harsh or grainy. They require effective midrange shaping with complexity and articulation. The new Lynx meets these demands and even exceeds them.

The Lynx features two different channels and 7 gain stages. Channel 1 is a classic high-gain channel that covers dark clean to 80s metal sounds. Channel 2 is a modern high-gain channel with a massive sound profile that remains articulate and insightful.
