hoospie Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Four of the plastic corners on my new Catalyst 60 have broken. This happened after I laid the amp face up in the back of my hatchback, on a burlap bag, and traveled to a gig and back. Three corners popped off, and one was partly broken but remained on the amp. The glued-in plastic insert that surrounds the controls also became disengaged and slipped out. I have placed other amps face-up in the back of my car and never had a problem with the corners popping off. Amp sounds fine, but this is disturbing. Has anybody else had this problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rresto Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 The same thing happened to me with a new amp, when I realized the frame was loose, the 15 days of return had already passed so I stuck it with 3M double-sided tape to see if it holds. The amp is great, it's a Catalyst 200 2x12, I love it but that's a complete mess. Spanish: Me ha pasado lo mismo con un ampli nuevo, cuando me doy cuenta el marco estaba suelto, ya habían pasado los 15 días de devolución así que lo he pegado con cinta 3M de doble cara a ver si aguanta. El ampli es cojonudo, es un Catalyst 200 2x12, me encanta pero eso es una cagada que te cagas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneMD Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I found three of them broken when I unboxed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magru Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccayoung Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yes the u shaped plastic trim on the top of mine has broken, and this is only from home use. I quite like the sound but the build quality seems flimsy. I'd be disappointed if I didn't get it for such a great price on sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magru Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 This has been fixed in the new CX series I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
