Line 6 Catalyst 100 1x12 100W Guitar Combo Amplifier

I bought the amp to use for my Line 6 Pod Go. It's the perfect amp for modelers. The actual amp models sound good but to me, it's the ability to connect a modeler to the effects loop return with great results. In my opinion, this amp hands down beats the Boss Katana.

I was looking for a way to go digital, while having an amp in the room experience, and keeping my analog pedal board as a part of my tone. The Catalyst does everything I need it to do. The Boutique Amp in the Catalyst is the perfect pedal board platform if you are looking for a Matchless to Marshall hybrid tone. You can create Edge and Crunch tones from the Boutique amp that sound fantastic. In the effects loop, I use a couple of TC Electronic delays into a UAFX Golden Reverb - could not be happier with the tone. In front of the amp, I have a compressor into a Timi OD pedal that I use as a boost to enhance a Marshall tone when I drive the amp hard. If you download the Catalyst Edit, you can adjust the sag and bias controls to get your perfect pushed amp tone for your playing style. You can then save your settings to the Catalyst and additionally to your laptop so you can download your tone into a backup Catalysts - I bought a second one - they're so inexpensive. The Catalyst Edit is only one page of settings - super easy to navigate! One last thing, the Catalyst Edit allows you to set cab and mic emulations for the XLR output that sound great if you have to mute your amp on stage, like for playing in church, which I do. I chose the 1x12 cab and the 57 mic emulations, but there are so many other choices. For me, this digital amp/analog pedal board route was way better than going down the "complete digital rabbit hole" of Helix floorboards, AND I get the same results!

Use for everything, guitar, keys, synthesizer, modular, pedals, vocals. The built in distortion is handy. Although as for the setup of the amplifier itself, personally I prefer to have the input, and controls at the front of the amplifier, typically I elevate my amplifier so I can alter the signals

Amazing amp! Tons of sounds, versatile, you can pre save sounds hook it up to a computer. This amp is the big leagues lol

The price point is what caught my interest, along with a video demo on YouTube. After a week of owning it, I've now dialed in the warmth I like. The versatility of this amp excites me. I can now sell off some my effects because the amp has them all. It's quiet with excellent response, power, parameters, and all I need to express my musicality. So, I've proudly taken this step into a very modern technology.🏅I did get the extended coverage, just in case. That was taking into consideration this amp's updated technology.

I love the versatility of this amp. It's got a DI out to the PA, USB interface, and can be used as a powered speaker if I want to use a pedal with IR's or cab simulators. It has some great effects and is very easy to use.
