Catalyst 60 reverb selection knob not working

[flux1968]

After updating to the latest firmware, the reverb seems to have stopped working. 
 

When I push the button, the orange light comes on, but when I move the selector knob, it only selects the amp types.

 

All the other effects work fine.

 

Any idea why this is, and how to fix it?

You have to hold the FX button down until the selector switch blinks and then dims.

Then press the TAP button until the FX LED you pressed (FX1 or FX2) displays the color code for the type of effect you want.

Then turn the selector to the desired effect in that category and press the FX button again to confirm your selection.

Download the Catalyst CX Family Pilot's Guide and see page 10.

Thanks, but it's not the CX model I'm asking about, just a Catalyst 60. On the Catalyst 60, the directions you provided are for the other effects, which work fine.

The reverb is a separate function.

FYI - if you update your FW your plain vanilla Catalyst will magically BECOME A CX! I did it to my Catalyst - it's GREAT!

 

But, if for some unfathomable reason you don't WANT a better, more powerful Catalyst, FOR FREE, below is from the original Catalyst Pilot's Guide:

 

1. Press the REVERB button to enable the Reverb 2. Press again to switch the Reverb off. 3. Like the EFFECTS, press and hold the REVERB button for two seconds to enter reverb selection mode. The AMP SELECTOR encoder LED ring will dim, and you can use the SELECTOR to scroll through the six different reverbs. Press the REVERB button again to exit selection mode. Remember to press and hold CH A or B to save your reverb settings to that preset.

 

If the above doesn't work and a factory reset doesn't fix it, open a support ticket.

That was exactly it! Thanks!
