Today, I will be exploring the Line 6 M9 more. I like where it is physically placed, but may change how the cables have it routed. Right now, it is at the end of the chain, before the Trio+. Thinking I will put it before the Polara (reverb), Carbon Copy, and CE-5 (in truth the CE-5 may leave the board after I get more used to the choruses in the M9). I like the Polara for Reverb, and the Carbon Copy is just a really nice sounding delay. So I think they stay.
Thinking I will be setting up some scenes using the Modulation effects, and maybe adding in some compression (trying to make a janglebox Roger McGuinn sort of sound, may add a pitch shifter or frequency shifter too to try to fake a 12 string) and things like that. And also see what else I like out of the modulation and time based effects.
As when I first got it, I prefer my own dirt boxes and such. But there is more I can get out of this thing, before I buy any more specific pedals in the modulation/time based sort of arenas.
