Catalyst CX 100
12 Amps Derived From Helix
Catalyst® CX 100 is a dual-channel 1x12 combo amplifier that performs like a traditional guitar amp—while providing the increased versatility of a modern amp. Occupying the middle position in the Catalyst CX family of guitar amplifiers—which range from 200 to 60 watts—the 100-watt Catalyst CX 100 is powerful enough for most gigs, while also sporting studio-friendly features such as a USB audio interface. The sturdily constructed Catalyst CX 100 amplifier offers 12 Amp Voicings—ranging from pristine clean to modern high-gain—derived from the Helix® amp and effects processor.
Each Amp Voicing is matched with a custom Boost type, and there are also 24 HX®-quality effects spanning four effects categories. Additional features include a Tap/Tuner button, an XLR line output, an effects loop, a Power Amp input for using the Catalyst CX as a powered speaker, MIDI functionality, a 2-channel USB recording interface, and power output options. The free Catalyst Edit app for desktop and mobile devices provides deep editing capabilities. Add an optional LFS2 footswitch for even more flexibility, and an optional cover to protect your combo.
