    I have just replaced my Catalyst because the top plastic border fell off after two days. In the new one it broke again almost immediately.

     

    There are a lot of report of the power selector potentiometer breaking as well so that's something to watch out for.

     

    No wonder these are so heavily discounted now to sub-katana levels. This is a distaster.

    Ha ha I used the three screws of the Catalyst logo te secure the trim round the top controlpanel reading al this  ;-)

    The MC3 is a great choice.

    How do you mean "not as functional as my HX stomp"?

    I mean in particular the latancy between banks/amp models. In the Stomp I can use two amp different models simultaneously or switch between them without annoying delay.

    Hey everybody, I just got myself a Catalyst 100 and currently learning my way around midi - which leads me to my question, is it possible to change banks via Midi? 

    I got a cheap midi controller wiith 4 buttons. What I want to happen is to have button1 to switch between presets A and B. Then have Button 2 and 3 go up and down banks. Button 4 for boost on/off.

     

    I use a Morning star MC3 midi cotroller that is capable of doing exactly this. But due to the latancy of the Catalyst I don't use that function during song. The nice thing about programming the Morningstar controllers is that they use a Web based programming tool that incorporates a whole variaty of brands/models including the HX stomp. Maybe one time they incorporate the Catalyst but it is not that difficult, with my 73 years it was a paece of cake ;-)

    Which midi controller do you use? I bought footswitch, but going to return it as functionality is very limited.

    I use the Morningstar MC3. The web based editor is great and easy to use. However the Catalyst is not as functional as my HX stomp but theywork great together.

    There may be a risk here, but I was able to use an 8ohm V30 (60watts) one time and another time an 8 ohm Creamback M (65 watts). I have a Catalyst100 and made sure I don't go beyond 50 watt setting... just to be sure :)

     

    Good luck! :) 

    I want to improve the sound and the weight of the amp so I will try a Celestion G12 NEO Creamback 8 Ohm. I think the amp has to work harder so mayby it never reach the 100 Watt level ;-) But start with your advice and start at 50 watt max.

  6. Today I received my Catalyst 100. Great clean sound for the money. What I don't get is why the footswitch does not trigger the Boost function.  Channel switching has too much latency and sound difference for practical use in my opinion. Maybe in a next update? Glad that I have a MIDI controller ;-)

    Hey gang. 

     

    When you just want to add sustain to an already good patch, say for a section of your lead break for example (or maybe your entire lead break) what is your preferred compressor and what settings?  I'm not talking about FREEZE here, just massively long sustain?

     

    In this particular instance I need it for Possum Kingdom lead section, but it's a common issue.

     

    Ik was looking for a very long sustain to record  Peter Green's  Supernatural. Over a Powecab and using a Telacaster at "roomlevel" I succeeded with this sttings ( Snapshot 2)

    Hello, 

    I updated to 3.10 and am getting some black boxes obscuring the text showing the preset name.  This box blocks viewing of the screen info in that area and is not preset specific.  some presets will have and others won't.  It does not appear to affect the sound, but I'm mostly playing from the couch into an iPad so who really knows.  I did do the factory rest and backup as the instructions suggested.  I'll see if it persists and may try another reset if it persists.  Image shows missing part of screen in my "B:Fake Bass preset".

    I had the same problem after installing 3.10! Today I installed te latest 3.11 version. Hope it is gone now.
