    CALABASAS, Calif.—April 5, 2011—Line 6, Inc.(line6.com), the industry leader in digitalmodeling technology for music-creation products, announced today the launch of M5 Stompbox Modeler, a portable and powerful multi-effectthat gives guitarists access to a comprehensive collection of historic stompboxtones in the space of a single stompbox.

    M5 is a compact, professional-grade, super-easy super-stompthat will provide access to over 100 coveted guitar effectsin the footprint of a standard pedal, running effects one at a time, just like the classics pedals that inspired it.

    “M5 Stompbox Modeler will become the secret weapon on your pedal board” remarked Mike Murphy, Category Manager for POD and Effects Products at Line 6. “It channels the souls of over a hundred modern and vintage stompboxes into a single pedal, giving you the ability to completely transform your rig with this one stompbox.”

    The collection of effects packed inside M5 Stompbox Modeler includes plenty of velvety reverbs, tangy mods, sweeping filters, distinctive distortions, pitch effects, compressors and other essentials. Many of these effects come from the bestselling DL4™ delay modeler and other Line 6 products including M9 and M13. Guitarists now have the flexibility to add that one extra effect to their pedal board, many times over, without having to pack or switch out a variety of individual pedals.

    M5 Stompbox Modeler is incredibly simple to use, just like a classic stompbox. Each effect parameter can be accessed in real time through the dedicated knobs and easy-to-read display. There’s no digging through menus, no saving and no hassles. A universal tap tempo feature controls all of the time-based effects.

    M5 Stompbox Modeler has all the connections guitarists need to sync up with nearly all pedals and MIDI rigs. It features 1/4-inch mono and stereo inputs and outputs, MIDI in and out and an expression pedal input for added control and functionality. It also has a built-in tuner with an option to either mute or allow the dry signal to pass through when engaged. With rugged construction designed to endure and gig-bag-size portability, M5 Stompbox Modeler can withstand the rigors of the road and the demands of the working musician.

      M5? Way too small and limited for $279. No offense, but all this to use only one effect at a time doesn't make sense to me.

      What? Is that it, two knobs? One effect at a time? At close to 300 bucks? Phew...yeah, way too limited, I agree...

      Sorry, but I don't see any appropriate use for live musicians.

      If the street price is under $200, I would have some interest. I don't play live, so that isn't much of a consideration for me. This pedal would give me the chance to experiment with many different pedals without having to buy (and sell) them all, and double as a tuner. However, an "M7" with two simultaneous effects would be more interesting.

      Yup, I agree with you on this one. If the effects are as good as people say they are, I think there would be some use for a small version like this, but the price would have to come down.

      BTW, is this for real? I notice the link was just to the picture itself. A little early April fool's joke mayhaps?

      Good question. I can't find anything on it outside of various forum discussions.

      Good news from Line 6:
