Like this comment if you think my new haircut makes me look like Jedward.

[@Crabfather]

Wait, what ? They never took out and replaced any amp models, they just added 6 more. If you didnt like the oblivion before and do now theres something weird going on man.

[@komraderymcdermott5903]

The addition of these amp models is huge tbh, I never tbh enjoyed the katanas heavy sounds but I really like these particular models from the helix, might be worth a check out👀 Great video as always!

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

I like that riff at the beginning it’s like the thing that should not be this love and all apologies

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks man just random Phyrigian Mode noodling!

[@johnnyninefingers3347]

I use a Catalyst 100 as part of a two-combo system. Both combos are stacked on top of each other, and I just use their power amps to take a signal from a Helix Floor. It's ridiculously cheap as a guitar-dedicated powered speaker when pre-amped right. I must admit I use a Tweed Fender Blues Deluxe on top of it. Sounds quite good, really. It's the sort of amp it's always useful to have around.

Nice review,thanks.

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks for watching! 🎸🎸

[@lukaszkoziol8302]

I love this guitar intro - sounds mysterious... \m/

Thanks man just random Phyrigian Mode noodling!

[@willgrealish8545]

Haircut makes you look like me in Will Power and The Generators 😂. Elvis invented it, Morrisey refined it! Interesting review.

[@SymbolicSplenetic]

I just ended up buying two of the old 100's. Gonna update them sometime this week to v2.02 to match the CX models, and it saved me a total of 340 Canadian dollars over going with the CX. Gonna be using them with my modelers, so won't be using the effects much, will be using the preamps though(4CM) ....but yeah, a lot of your cons are basically "set it and forget it" parameters for me. Anyhow, regarding the Vypyr. I have an original Vypyr Tube 120 combo...great amp in terms of sounds, but don't praise those potentiometers too much. Once they start getting jumpy, it becomes ridiculously frustrating to deal with.

[@alexdenton6586]

Even the Fender Mustang GTX completely surpasses it; you can use it with a tablet or phone, and on top of that, it is much more intuitive and simpler. The basic presets are already excellent. There's also the Hotone brand with the Puzle, which seems quite promising. From what I understand, it's a Chinese company, but that's good because it creates competition. The Chinese are making more and more progress, whereas I find that Americans tend to stagnate and rest on their laurels.

Such a great timing to see this review, I’m a boss katana 50 mk1 owner and was considering the 100mk2 mainly for the fx loop when using looper, but also I’m aware of the speaker, more channels etc. However this CX-60 seems to have all the specs and doesn’t have to be 14kg like the katana 100. I’m really glad you touched on the modern metal tones cause there’s no point in getting one without them. Would you recommend the CX60?

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

It really does sound quite decent across the tone spectrum now yeah!

[@Jianemba]

Coming from a katana mini, to a cx60 yes. Almost got the orange 35rt glad I didn't

[@mickeypow990]

@ChilledGuitarReviews love the reviews , love the amps to !! can you put your setting for your high gain tone at the end 😆 plz

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks bro can't remember exact settings but just follow the effects list text in the bottom left corner and you wont be far too! I don't boost or EQ too heavily on anything.

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

Yep 👍🏻 it still looks like Boss will be killing this Amp lol ... Matter of fact the gen 3 katanas are going to slay everything for the 8th year in a row. it's a shame though because with all the knowledge Line 6 has they should be capable of much better. Especially a AB power section. Hopefully soon some other companies will give Boss a good run I would love to see a new competitor. Great 👍🏻 review btw. Looking forward to what's next on your channel brother 😎👊🏻💯

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Thanks mate, Katana MK3 review coming next!

[@9unslin9er]

An amp needs to really knock it out of the park tone-wise and volume-wise to dethrone my MK1 Katana.

[@kerkuss]

There have already been a noise gate on Catalyst (I know - I have one) but I agree with all your comments anyway :D

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

@@kerkuss yeah I think I forgot to mention it on the review of the first version I did.

[@RevellionzZ]

What is the difference СХ, From simple

[@alanjoconnor]

hi i'm a bad intermediate player who tries to play metal :) do you think catalyst cx or peavey vypyr x is better for me? thanks @ChilledGuitarReviews

[@GuitarCinemaOfficial]

Peavey Vypr by far the better choice for metal but budget for a seperate Noise Gate pedal too!
