Line 6 Catalyst 100: My Favorite Settings and Tricks

Ойын-сауық

The Catalyst series is the newest batch of modeling amps from Line 6. The team at Yamaha was kind enough to send me the Catalyst 100, and I'm especially impressed with the Boutique amp sounds and the reverb and delay modes. Check it out.

    Great demo. It feels like you showed the best example of what this amp can do and very likely how the majority of players are going to use it. One thing that stands out to me is how sweet the P-90s sound through the boutique settings.

    Demoing the Catalyst with a Revstar. I JUST last week got a Revstar Standard with Humbuckers, and just added a Catalyst this last weekend (to my Katana, Axe FX, Helix Stomp and 2 Fenders). Nice job. I like the Boutique as well, but the crunch is pretty darn nice too

    @@GetOffset The CAT's strength, imho, is it's tone(s), and to a lesser extent feel and response to playing dynamics. It definitely has the Helix DNA in that regard. It is also completely usable from just the amp. I wish there were less multi-function buttons and knobs, and a few added to control things. But. one could never use the App, and just the amp controld, if one wanted to. On the flip side, I think it lags a little compared to the Katana for live use, without spending some money. I already had a Morningstar MIDI controller, so I can easily use all 6 banks of 2 channel presets. If you don't have one, and you can get by with 2 channels and pedals, then you get great tone, feel and a hella fun amp to play.

    I've got this exact amp. It really doesn't ring my bell. I find it kind of muffled/distant/fake. It doesn't give me the "amp in the room" feel. It's like the difference between listening to a singer in the same room and then listening to the singer who's been recorded and played back over a speaker. This amp sounds like the latter to me. To each their own! When it comes to affordable SS amps, I have to say the Katana MKII 100 actually does give the amp in the room feel. I don't know how, but it does it!

    I have a Katana MK II Artist and the Catalyst and I know what you're saying. It may be the class AB power section in the Katana but it definitely has that amp in the room thing. I will say that the Catalyst may not have quite that same feel I don't find it to be distant or fake, just not quite as "lively". Once in a full band mix, the Catalyst does very well. I find you have to push the gain up a bit and the channel volume some and the amp seems to "open" up more. Just my 2 cents, which probably isn't even worth that much. Lol

    Just got my Catalyst CX 60 and manual mode is EXTREMELY quiet (almost completely muted) when I used it. I even crank the gain and master and I can barely hear it. Nothing plugged in the back, just the guitar into the amp. Is this normal?

    @@GetOffset hey thank you so much for the quick reply! I have both the gain and the master volume cranked, and at that point I barely get some sound out of it. But I’m not sure what you mean by the attenuator. Is that something in the app itself? Or is that on the amp? Whether or not my laptop is plugged in the result is the same. I’ve used amps for many years, but this is my first time with a modeling amp so there’s a lot of choices so it’s entirely possible that I’m missing something. But I’m no slouch when it comes to technology and after doing some research and trying pretty much everything in the book I’m hardly getting any signal coming through. Channels A and B are perfect though. I updated the app to version 2.0.1 and also tried factory resetting it and neither helped. I’m going to give Guitar Center a call and see if I can exchange it for a new one because I truly love this amp! Hopefully the return process to my local store isn’t to pay since I bought this on Guitar Center online. Love your demo here by the way! :)

    You can save to A/B pretty much the same was as on the amp, but you can save deeper files along the top if you pause when the iPad app screen is up.
