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.
