They are 2 different beasts. It would be like comparing apples to oranges. There is no amph modeling in the M13 but there is a lot more effects available in the M13 and a pitch glide that sounds better and is less glitchy than the Digitech.

Do you have either?

No. After reading all the posts here and at TGP I settled upon the Line-6 M13, but then saw this and thought I'd ask what people thought. I understand that the RP1000 has amp models but I wasn't sure how its effects stacked up against the M13.

I'm plotting my Christmas gift so thought I ask about the RP1000. :)

Thanks!

:french I just had to put ole frenchy there after watching those vids.Sumi:D

I'll bet in the next upgrade to the M13 we'll get an acoustic modeler. That is one thing missing from the M13 that the RP has.

[sumitomo]

They better hurry up cause I've already forgot how to do the upgrade.Sumi:D So I'm no longer bonehead statis.:nope

The "Holiday" issue of Guitar Player reviews 5 multi-FX pedalboards, including the RP1000. It might be worth checking out. They reviewed the M9 instead of the M13 since it had been previously featured.
