Welcome aboard! We seem to have a few Australians signing up lately which is cool.
I can't help with the M13 though. I'm still rocking a cupboard full of individual stomp boxes
Hi everyone, my name is Cliff and I am from Adelaide, South Australia, Have just taken up guitar again about 8 months ago, I gave guitar up when I was 18 after my first band split and yeah wrong move. But hey not to worry. So I decided to go nuts and have a midlife crisis and get myself some Guitar gear and start to teach myself how to play again. (WHO EVER SAID YOU NEVER FORGET - TOTAL RUBBISH) I use to play real well and also read music. Can still play so so but read music not a chance lol..
Anyway here is some of my gear I got, nothing fancy but remember going through a midlife crisis and when I gave guitar up I had a Sakai Guitar with a 15watt Coronet Amp lol.
Here is a list what I got now.
Guitar 1 : Ibanez RG370BK
Guitar 2 : Jackson DK2S
Amp : Peavy ValveKing VK100 head with Quad
Effects Line6 M13 Stompbox..
So I have signed up with the forum to see if I can get some help setting the tones on the the M13 and not having much luck. I play stuff from Joe Statriani, Steve Vai, Judas Priest, Iron Maden, The Shadows, Pink Floyd and lots more.

Hey Cliff, welcome to The Fret!!
Thanks for all the kind welcomes . I bought the M13 because I was told the were a great stompbox pedal. I sold my Line 6 POD X3 Live to buy this. Am starting to regret that move as I have the X3 live set up well with some on the Vai and Satch and other tones. Have had the the M13 for about 2 weeks now and got nowhere. Maybe got a sort of a decent Pink Floyd tone but still not great. Dont want to get rid of it as I bought it brand new and cost me $500 Aust. Frustrated is a understatement
Hi and welcome Cliff.
I have an M13 too. I've been gigging it for the past couple of years and I really like it. Simple to use and set up. I don't worry too much about trying to emulate anybody else's tones with it though. I get a sound in my head and then I tweak it to what I want to hear. It works great for that. It's a keeper for me. It works better at band volumes than at home in a sterile listening environment. It's too easy to nit pick it at home. On stage or at rehearsal it really shines with the amph turned up.
I hope you enjoy thefret.net.

Thanks for the welcome
Yeah I suppose your right there, I am trying to set the tones in my room, But I find it to hard to get the sounds while I am jamming at the proper volume. And some of the sounds I am trying to achieve are very hard to get right as I said the Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are the ones giving me the most of a headache. But I suppose I will get there
Greetings from the other side of the world. Always exciting to get a new member, especially an Aussie!
I've been kind of teaching myself guitar for the last year and a half with a massive amount of help from the guys here. They're pretty good about making me feel like there are no stupid questions
Welcome aboard!

Welcome Cliff
I see you like the Shadows , were you named after their lead singer? . Nice to see another Floyd fan.
Welcome, Cliff! If you get your answer on the M13, stick around and participate in the discussion. The more the merrier!
