Omg!
Germany's biggest guitar magazine writes that this stomp monster opens the door for Joe Normal to enter the world that is usually only accessible to poeple who can afford Bob Bradshaw systems.
some of the Line6 stomps had great quality, so I think it is a good buck for the money. The idea is really cool and the true bypass feature makes it even worth the money.
I am not sure if I would buy it, as I get along with 1-2 stomp boxes in my set up.

Nope. But the FedEx driver brought me a wine soaked box with an M13 in it.:Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw

I wish those FedEx drivers would quit spilling their wine while they are driving! Was he drinking red? It stains you know.

The box it came in was soaked but the unit was bagged in plastic so everything is good. Besides, this thing is NEVER going to see the inside of a box ever again. It's great! I have a bunch of pedals for sale now and a much easier more flexible set up.
Check one out if you can. I'm getting great sounds right away and it's super easy to tweak and simple to use.

Another post showing appreciation for the M13
I just updated the whole effect unit. How cool is that? Can you download and install the latest version of your Tube Screamer?
This is what I love. As they make it better I just update it.

Thats a really cool unit Spuds!
What effects/pedals do you dig so far?
Also. This thread is useless without clips.
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
Spud, congrats! I can imagine it being a lot of fun playing and experimenting with the M13. I think it is the most innovative Line6 product in a long time. What I heard of this unit so far (only internet clips) was pretty convincing. Look forward to hearing some clips of you playing that unit!

Congratulations. Be patient and tweak a lot. You'll end up with sounds you've never thought of and still have the basics as well.

Premier Guitar gave it a good review this last issue (the hot rod guitar issue). They look pretty darn cool!

Thanks Spud!Originally Posted by Spudman
The M13 replaced a bunch of pedals I used to have on my pedalboard. In fact, it cost me a lot less than the total amount I got from selling them! Even after a few days of tweaking I've got most of the tones I need for live work.
I kept a few pedals which I consider as "keepers", such as my EHX Deluxe Memory Man, my Budda Bud-wah and a few others; also I am soon to get a couple of custom made OD pedals (from a good friend of mine) which have a somewhat unique tonal character to them. But the M13 will be my "grab and go" box of effects, and without any compromises with my sound.
Highly recommended; and firmware version 1.05 is around the corner too.

I noticed that. Rich said they are already looking at a 1.06 update in late summer. I think it's great that Line 6 are really listening to the guys that are using the M13. They seem to really want this to fly and to take care of the folks that have bought them already.Originally Posted by abraxas

I know I have asked this, and the answer has just not stuck with me. Could you tell me again please, why this one is better in your minds than the Digitech one that is similar?

With the M13 you don't have to deal with amph modeling, you get much more flexible routing, constant updates, you can also run 4 of the same effect at a time. As far as I now this is the only unit out that can do that. It also allows you to set up 12 separate pedal boards that can be accessed with 1 button stomp.Originally Posted by sunvalleylaw

Being able to combine 4 of *whatever* stomp models was a major selling point in my case.Originally Posted by Spudman
Also the routing is almost perfect (for a digital device), and the arrangement is almost identical to pedals. A trackload of pedals.
The only things I miss are, a global volume setting and the ability to bypass the whole thing with one click. But both can be taken care of with a simple and efficient bypass box, perhaps with a good buffer to implement the master volume issue too.

After several months of ownership and an intense weekend of searching for sounds and making a racket I have to say that this is the best pedal I've owned yet. It just never leaves me wanting, I get unreal sounds from it, it helps me to be more creative and it keeps me wondering what else I can make it do. Truly a great piece of gear. :
My first tendency after I got it was to always compare the modeled sounds with what I thought the pedals that were being modeled should sound like. Big mistake, but still a process that a lot of people are going to go through. When I quit doing that and just started searching for my own sounds and dialing them in, I have been greatly rewarded. There are so many cools sounds in this thing. Wow. I've got my first 'scene' really dialed and it suits a majority of what my needs are. Soon I'll have to set up some other scenes for other moods and feelings.
All in all - just a great unit. It's definitely curbed my pedal gas.
