Line 6 Catalyst CX 200 Combo Modelling Amp

Catalyst® CX 200 is a dual-channel 2x12 combo amplifier that performs like a traditional guitar amp—while providing the increased versatility of a modern amp. The flagship of the Catalyst CX family of three guitar amplifiers, the 200-watt Catalyst CX 200 is capable of holding its own on nearly any stage, while also sporting studio-friendly features such as a USB audio interface.

The sturdily constructed Catalyst CX 200 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.

There are also 24 effects spanning four effects categories, and single effects from any two of those categories can now be used simultaneously.
