Strange interaction between catalyst and overdrives.

Hi all,

 

I buyed an CX60 some months ago. I'm partially happy with it. Since first time I used, one annoying thing is the short sustain it have in overdrived amps.  Is nonsense overdriven amps like 2204MOD have same sustain than clean amps. I tried setting off noise gate but not helps too much. Then I tried some overdrive and distortion pedals (I have near a dozen) and then appears a strange intermodulation sounding like ik was a light phaser engaged. I tried all, reset factory, re-installing latest firmware, but nothing.

I don't understand for what reason is called a "pedal platform". The only thing save this amp is the price.

I think modeled amps must be reconfigured by Line 6 to avoid these fails.

The problem you've described is not a real thing - I've had my Catalyst since first release. No problem with sustain at all.

It's true that analog gain pedals sometimes don't play well with solid state amps, but I highly doubt that this is the problem.

Contact support, maybe it's defective.
