    Default Line 6 M9 distortion demo

    People asked me for a clip of how the distortion tones are in the M9/M13.

    Here you go.

    This is also the first video ever recorded in my new studio! Tada!

    Very nice. Great run through of the models.

    If you put on a black shirt you'd be just a head and guitar. That would be a trip!

    VERY nice vid & well played and presented too. Too bad you used a single-coil guitar and the delay...anyway, the very first classic distortion sound was quite nice. And some of the fuzz sounds was also pretty good. I guess I would have to take one in for testing with my setup...easy access to various levels of drive without pedal-to-pedal buffer problems would be handy in many a case.

    Some are complaining the gain sounds are bad in this unit. I disagree. Lots of cool tones in here, if you take your time to tweak to your liking.

    By the way, single coils rock! (even though I just got a humbucker guitar...)

    But this is only showing the distortion stuff - there's tons of other cool effects in this unit! Fantastic box, this is. The latest updates gives (correct me if I'm wrong, Spud), 120 effects in total? Totally wicked!

    Yeah, seems like a lot of useable tones. All I need is a non-squeezing comp and an OD & distortion, though...been wondering if I should maybe try to use a delay again on some lead bits...but the idea of dancing around to switch between tones while singing irks me a LOT.

    Usually change from clean to dirt, add some extra boost for lead AND maybe start using wah, all inside a second while singing is more than enough already...and then back up for verse again super quick...augh. So multiFX units with ready-made patches ARE tempting...so I'm interested in trying.

    If I can offer a smidge of constructive criticism about the recording: I know it's hard to record both yourself and the amph at the same time, but when you're playing there's a lot of "acoustic" sounds from the guitar itself which I think distracts from getting a good taste at what the actual amplified tone is. I don't know if that's something that can be changed in your recording setup or if I'm the only one who notices that.

    I obviously can offer no constructive criticism on your playing other than "don't start playing like me."

    Something like that PLUS you get 48 scenes now. That's 48 different storable pedal boards which is a lot. You should get a control pedal so that you can really tap into the power of the unit. The 8 wahs and Whammy are great and being able to control parameters on effects in each scene is a huge bonus.

    I agree -- I thought the classic distortion was pretty nice, and one of those Line 6 ones wasn't bad either. I started to zone out not long after that...

    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    This section of the pedal has some very, very nice compressors and eq's as well, but I didn't demo those. It's hard to capture the feel of a compressor on video, but trust me, they are awesome.
