Hi. I have encountered a strange thing about Vintage Delay effect. Maybe I don't understand something but i used the same effect settings on two different presets with two different amp models and the delay is not working correctly. In fact I don't hear any delay with this settings, I think there is only reverb. I have uploaded a WAW file. The first sound you can hear is my preset and the second is downloaded preset from Custometone. I have copied the exact delay settings from it to the first sound. In first sound there is no delay, and the second is working correctly. What I noticed the manual mode of delay works but not sync, so conclusion. Its probably not a bug but something with the sync mode which I don't understand what is it. I am learning about effects. Vintage Delay.wav

Ok, I think David uses a lot of effects so it would be difficult to replicate his sound with just two of them, but I would be really happy of anything close to it. Any advises or floyds presets? Right now I am mostly interested in sounds of Shine on, Hey You or Comfortably Numb. But can be anything...

OH, I forgot about this. Thnx for advice. I am testing Voltage and 2204 MOD right and both I like the most for Iron Maiden. But still straggling to find some really good HEAVY(real heavy) and power metal sounds. I like distorted sounds of Catalyst and it is good and enough at my level but still think that something is missing with them. Not sure if buying some distortion pedal would solve this. I heard that open cabinets are worse at hi gain than closed cabinets. Is that true?

Never mind. Problem solved. The driver went crazy because i had Cat Edit open while installing the driver

I have installed latest Driver 2 for Catalyst and I was able to play Guitar Pro sounds through Cat but something strange has happened with the sound. Everything except my guitar sounds like it was in different tuning. And sometimes Cat don't want to play music. I have to remove it from USB and plug it in once more. What's going on, what i did wrong? I just installed official driver

Ok, this is probably bad place to ask, I should post this in some Guitar Pro forum, but maybe someone will know how to solve my problem. I want to play with Guitar Pro with sound played from Catalyst speaker or headphones with Cat) but than I have error with audio device. So i go to preference tab and set everything as on a picture but it is still not working. Something is wrong with device option. It is set to "Standard" and I can't change it. There is only standard options whatever it means. Any ideas how to fix it?

Bad news. None has change. Herę is what answered me suuport:

You will have to install some files manager to do this and yes, copy your preset to that folder. But there is a problem. With Android 13 update, access to data folder has been restricted. Right now I don't know any workaround. It seems little complex. So it sucks. Looks like using Cat with android is very limited now :( Probably a PC or Ipad is better choice

Hi. Some guy asked your question here. Check around 11 minute. Unfortunately I still don't know. This guy who is answering that question seems not sure but looks like he suggest to use looper in FX loop. So maybe it is worth trying. Sadly I cant check this for you. I don't have looper and other pedals to check. Maybe try to contact Line 6 support. They had been always answering my questions. I can send them message because in the future I could be interested using looper with Cat, but you should better describe the issue with looper than me

I am not sure if I was asking this before. I know that i have asked this somewhere, but this was before my pause from guitar. Anyway, once more :) I really like how Catalyst sounds(although I had a bad start with it at the beginning but that was mostly my fault, nvm) but the problem is that it is quite loud, very loud for a home usage even set on 1/2 W. I am not living alone, so don't have much time when I can use it as I like. That means... loud :). And I don't agree with some saying that it sounds the same on every volume level. I think that actually it sounds the best when it is set quite loud. When I am alone I usually play with volume somewhere in the middle or even higher. But that's when I am alone. Usually I am not. So i really want to play it on headphones. And here is my question. What is your experience with headphones. Do you like how it sounds? For me the sound it awful, but, I don't have studio headphones. I have only "regular" headphones. Marshall Major IV. Changing MIC settings helps a bit, but still it is awful sound. What I know from difference between "regular" headphones and studio, that "regular" mess with sound by modifying it. Studio headphones should be more flat, and be able to more accurately replicate the original sound. So maybe that's the main problem. Probably all of you use studio headphones, so I would like to hear your opinion about how Cat sounds with them, before I will eventually buy and try one.

Maybe stupid question but what is TGP? Where can I find this? EDIT: The Gear Page?

This topic is not 100% related to Catalyst itself but maybe some of you are using tablets for recording with Cat...I plan to change my samsung galaxy tab s6 lite someday. It is very good tablet overall but not so good in recording especially with multiple apps like Cat Edit, Audio Evolution Mobile and Spotify for example running together. Any one could recomend something in midrange price tag. What I need is something stronger than my S6 lite couse obviously its to weak to handle multiple tasks and recording. But I aslo wonder what operating system would be better android or iOS?

Is there any one who could share with some nice Iron Maiden tones. Especially something from Fear of the Dark album and Seventh Son of a Seventh Son but can be some others too Also I'm looking for Nightwish tones mostly from Tarja era like Century Child, Wishmaster and Oceanborn albums. If there is no one who could share with his tones than maybe some advises how to set up my Cat to sound anything close to those?

Hi! Can you still share some Hendrix tones? I know a lot of time has passed. I had big crisis in learning and almost sold my beautiful Epi and Catalyst but now I'm back :)

You have to move your preset from download folder on your tablet and place it in: Andorid>data>com.line6.catalystedit>files>Line 6 Catalyst>Presets. Install some better file manager than Samsung's default and make shortcut for Cat's presets folder to quickly move files there

I really would like to help, but since I'm almost complete noob I can't give you any advice :( From what I've learned you would need a Fuzz pedal for Hendrix sound so not sure if you can replicate that on Cat without that pedal

OK, so I bought BOSS Mt2. It works fine with Catalyst both in front of an amp and in FX LOOP. What stroke me the most is that it not only sounds different but also the pedal and the knobs behave also much different. I didn't test FX loop much yet but I think it's easier to use that way but also it has much narrower range of sounds to set. Used between the guitar and amp it seems to me much complex to set something but it's more rewarding in wider range of different sounds. The knobs are very sensitive and there are many interactions between them that I don't fully(well to be honest not even partially) understand. When I used it for the first time, set everything to noon and then start playing with the nobs, the sound was terrible, just like many haters report. But after reading some guides and experimenting I already found some nice tones for starting point that already sounds to me better than Cat's hi gain amp, which I don't like the most in this amplifier. Probably I made bad choice purchasing this as a my first pedal ever(maybe better choice for the first time would be some Joyo distortion or something like that- seems much easier to use) but overall I'm happy. I thought it will be worst after reading some haters. However using Cat with this pedal is becoming more complex right now since I have to made separate clean channel for Metal Zone - which is mostly flat and not usable as a regular tone since it sounds like crap. So right now if I want to play some heavy riff on Metal Zone with Cat's effect off and then change to some nice clean channel with some effect I have to hit switch on a MT2 to disable it, than hit channel switch on LFS2 to change this flat clean tone to something better and then hit effect switch to turn on effect on my clean channel. That's 3 buttons! My god that's too many for me. I don't know you guys handle this especially with more effects or big pedalboards??? Respect for that, really

I want to try Boss Metal Zone Mt2 with Cat. But what I've learned about this pedal it shouldn't be used as a regular distortion pedal rather then that is should be used as a pre amp. It sounds best in effect loop or directy in to power amp. I never ever used effect loop so far so i will be something new for me. In this video Ola Englund is hooking MT 2 directly in to FX loop of his satan : But correct me if I'm wrong. He hooked the guitar in to metal zone input and it's output directly in to FX return (no FX send). Am I correct? this is how should I do it?

Hi again. Didn't play for a while because I have had problems with my guitars, I had to gave them to the service many times but finally they are brought back to life and I can play once more. Didn't test your Cult presets much yet but I do like your Heartbreaker preset... but... IMO it sounds too heavy on my Epi Explorer. It sounds much better on my Charvell strat but even then i like to turn the volume down a bit on my guitar. Otherwise wise I like it. But have you tried boutique amp? I think it is great for classic rock songs. It is right now my favorite amp model in Catalyst. I used Richie Cat Grit preset as a starting point and it is amazing on both of my guitars. Maybe this is not Led Zeppelin sound but it sounds great! Anyway i saved this one and yours in my amp. I will work with both of them. Thank you

Thank you very much. I will check them tomorrow

I will be grateful. Yes I have checked the Custometone and found there some very interesting presets. Some of them I don't like but some of them I kept. There is one that I use to play Led Zeppelin or other classical rock songs that can be good starting point. Don't remember its name but it uses Boutique and I like it. It sounds really nice with my Epi Thunderhorse Explorer with Gibson Burst Bucker pickups especially with the coil-tapped bridge pickup. Really nice rock & roll sound.

I see your point. Any advices on Led Zeppelin tones with Cat btw ? :)

Looks interesting. What bluetooth midi controller would you recomend for this? HoTone Ampero Control for example?

These three are my favorite
