Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

best box i've came upon to date. this thing can blaze' love it

The M13 is one of the most versatile pieces of equipment I've come across, in quite some time. Especially when using tube amps (Mesa Royal Atlantic 100, specifically), it works seamlessly with the effects loop of the amp. Lets you use all of the great effects at its disposal, and does not sacrifice tone quality at all. Works great right out of the box, and with some additional tweaking, it's pure perfection. The built-in noise-gate is a feature of beauty, especially when pushing the gain on your amp's drive channels. What I like most about this product?: It does exactly what it says, and lets you use multiple effects at the same time, without overly complicated programming/set-up of said effects. Most seamless response time I've ever seen from an effects modeler, like using separate pedals, but without the mess & clutter. I've tried several effects processors, but none of them have come close to the convenience/versatility that the M13 offers me. For beginning players, to even the most advanced players, this device has a little something for everyone, and can create some really wicked tones/themes. Top marks, best piece of equipment I've bought in a long time!

I can't say enough good things about this unit. Its the very best product line 6 has EVER produced. I have had mine for nearly 11 years and it's going strong after touring with 4 different bands all over our great nation. From Mars Volta to Elvis Presley I've enjoyed beautiful or space alien scary sounds created by this elegant beast. Very transparent when u want or completely down in the effect when your avant-garde side needs to speak its all here. Lushest of the lush reverbs, any bip bop ba doy yoing u can muster under the hood. Great loop length and options like half speed and reverse takes u to a Beatles record with just a lil click. The buttons are superbly stompable and give u confidence in there design that u can dig in a bit and not break it. I'm not even a line 6 guy but I have stood by this product for a decade and despite my pillaging of the market place not one proper challenger has ever risen to the occasion. If you buy this and spend time with it, you will adore it. It's gotta be an awesome product when they haven't changed anything about it for a decade!

Used Pods, Boss Gt's and Zoom for years always spent more time trying to get them better sounding than playing. M13 is great with all the scene's. No more trying to find what amp model sounds best. Had 8 scenes set up in a day and now spending more time playing.

This unit was released in 2009 but the technology really holds up today. I briefly attempted the 4 wire hookup and experimented with running An overdrive in front and chorus/delay/fever in the loop. I really couldn't get the clean lead boost I was looking for without altering my tone too much (I have a Peavey 6505 head). Still tweaking but no regrets so far. Great value!!

Love it! So easy to use and very versatile.
