Bad Cat Ocelot Review

Black guitar amplifier with illuminated grill and various control knobs.

The similarities between Bad Cat’s light, compact, and versatile new Ocelot lunchbox head and its South American feline namesake make the amp’s moniker a truly apt one. A real ocelot is lean and agile, generally weighs around 20 pounds, and boasts incandescent eyes that glow when illuminated. It also packs a formidable bite quotient and can produce a loud, forceful roar or a softer, if no less menacing, close-range purr.

Warm Audio Throne of Tone Review

Warm Audio Throne of Tone Review

Though the business of cloning pedals is competitive (and endless fodder for frothing Reddit denizens), I appreciate when a pedal company offers a useful twist on an established formula. Warm Audio accomplishes this with the Throne of Tone. It is clearly inspired by the Analog Man King of Tone. But it is also very obviously a nod to the Marshall Bluesbreaker, the pedal that Mike Piera used as a departure point for his KOT design. The Throne of Tone, though, might mark the point at which the snake bites its tail. It cross-pollinates the circuits in a dual overdrive that opens up many, many tone-coloring avenues and options.
