Wooo Spider 2 Insane channel on red!
When I was a teenager I just couldn't understand how anyone could like that sound.
Fast forward, I see all those Boss HM-2 zealots and I wonder exactly the same thing

Pretty much exactly what I was saying, doesn't need to be tube or anything, but a powered helix would be the tits.Uhhh....

Well, I'm not even remotely in the market for it, but a lightweight lunchbox amp with HX Stomp guts and solid state power amp would be pretty cool. I don't think there's anything similar on the market (maybe Kemper Power Head, but it's way too expensive, and it's a profiler, and it's not exactly in a lunchbox format).
Something like this:

I don't see how this is better than just putting a PS170 and a Stomp on a small board on top of your cab and using a MIDI controller. Especially if you want it to somehow cost less than those things combined. Without some feature that somehow integrates the power amp in some way (faux sag/topology changes with patches or something) it seems unnecessary, and the added integration of a "controllable" power amp would most likely make it more expensive than the separate components.Pretty much exactly what I was saying, doesn't need to be tube or anything, but a powered helix would be the tits.
Because all I'd need to grab and cable up is my guitar to front of the combo? Like I said, 1x12 combo with a power amp and guts of helix on top. 3 button footswitch and I'd be set.I don't see how this is better than just putting a PS170 and a Stomp on a small board on top of your cab and using a MIDI controller.

Like I said before, single cabinet, guys of hx stomp, ss power amp, single speaker. 899, I would BUY that, not just know it exists. Sure I have all that stuff now, but to have it in one enclosure away from my feet and spills and stage divers, that'd be pretty wantable, no? I'm not saying solutions for this aren't easy, but they do with no argument take multiple purchases, have to take multiple power supplies, set up, etc.
I thought you were asking for an HX Mini head.What if I told you that could put all that in one enclosure.

That was nickgray, I just think that'd be cool, my original idea was a combo form.I thought you were asking for an HX Mini head.
Probably. That's really not normal for any amp. Are all of the channels noisy? Also, not that I'm implying you haven't tried the obvious, but have you made sure you engaged the noise gate?I got one of these, it arrived today. It is the noisiest amp I've ever had, totally unusable on the hi gain channel. I've owned around 20 amps mostly hi gain, nothing ever like this one.
Is there something wrong with it?
Has anyone meanwhile more experience with the Catalyst? I've been playing on my Computer the past couple of years but I'm thinking about getting a practice amp again and I'm torn between this, the Katana, the THR or maybe something more obscure like the Joyo DC15-S.
I've gotta say, to me the Catalyst makes the Katana sound kinda dated in this demo:
The Catalyst kinda sounds a bit more "HD", that being said I still like both and still dunno what to get
