The Catalyst CX 100 bridges the gap between traditional guitar amplification and modern versatility, offering 100 watts of power through a dual-channel 1x12 combo design. This amplifier features 12 Amp Voicings sourced from the acclaimed Helix® amp and effects processor, spanning everything from pristine clean tones to modern high-gain sounds, with each voicing paired to a custom Boost type for enhanced tonal flexibility.
Built with robust construction and professional features, the Catalyst CX 100 includes 24 HX®-quality effects across four distinct categories, plus essential connectivity options like XLR line output, effects loop, and Power Amp input functionality. The integrated Tap/Tuner button, MIDI capabilities, and 2-channel USB recording interface make it equally suited for studio work and live performance, while the free Catalyst Edit app provides comprehensive editing control from both desktop and mobile devices.
The Catalyst® CX family caters to players across all performance levels, from the 200-watt CX 200 built for serious stage work down to the 60-watt CX 60 perfect for practice and smaller venues. Optional accessories including the LFS2 footswitch and protective cover further expand the system’s capabilities, making each Catalyst CX amplifier a complete solution for the modern guitarist.
