Line 6 Catalyst CX 100 Guitar Combo Amplifier

Catalyst CX 100 is a 100-watt dual-channel 1x12 combo amplifier featuring 12 Amp Voicings derived from Helix. It performs like a traditional guitar amp—while providing the increased versatility of a modern amp.

12 Amps Derived from Helix
The Catalyst® CX family comprises three dual-channel combo amplifiers that perform like traditional guitar amps, while providing the increased versatility of modern amplifiers. They feature 12 Amp Voicings derived from the award-winning Helix® amp and effects processor—ranging from pristine clean to modern high-gain—and each Amp Voicing is matched with a custom Boost type. There are also 24 HX®-quality effects spanning four effects categories. Additional features include sturdy construction, a Tap/Tuner button, an XLR line output, an effects loop, a Power Amp input for using Catalyst CX as a powered speaker, MIDI functionality, a 4-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. From the 200-watt Catalyst CX 200, capable of holding its own on nearly any stage, to the 60-watt Catalyst CX 60, which is perfect for practice, recording, and performing in small venues—there’s a Catalyst CX amp for every player.
