Line 6 Catalyst CX 100 1 X 12" Combo Amplifier

A Cutting-edge Line 6 Spin on the Classic Combo Amp

Equipped with an extensive array of amplifier models derived from Line 6’s Helix ecosystem, the Catalyst CX 100 merges modern modeling excellence with the knob-per-function workflow of a traditional combo amplifier. This 100-watt, 2-channel, 1 x 12-inch combo amp doubles the sonic potential of the original Catalyst series, equipped with a brilliant boost section and 12 superlative amplifier models that cover everything from modern high-gain fury to crisp, clear vintage-style cleans. Two effects sections allow you to simultaneously pair any of the Catalyst CX 100’s 24 effects together, and you also get an effects loop to seamlessly integrate your stompbox collection. Lastly, a built-in USB audio interface, adjustable output power, MIDI functionality, and XLR direct ensure that this classic combo is ready to serve as the centerpiece of your home recording rig.

A dozen Helix-derived amp models to choose from

The Catalyst CX series now comes equipped with 12 amplifier models with top-class sounds derived from Line 6’s Helix series. From gain-drenched crunch to sparkling cleans, the Catalyst CX delivers. A 3-band EQ, presence control, and built-in boost help you fine-tune your sound, and its screen-less, knob-per-function layout keeps everything intuitive.

Equipped with 24 onboard effects

Alongside its 12 amp models, the Catalyst CX series provides 24 effects including reverbs, delays, modulation, and pitch/filter effects. With two fully independent effects sections, you can run two effects at once and sculpt all kinds of expressive tones.
