Line 6 M13 stomp box modeler

[Spudman]

Line 6 will soon be releasing the new M13 stomp box modeler.
http://line6.com/m13/

Many Line 6 users use their Pod XT Live just for he effects. This is a way to get all that without the amp modeling. Highly programmable, durable and well thought out. It offers a nifty solution to pedal boards.

How much $$ do you think it will cost?

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Thats a mighty sexy looking thing

but its going cost SO much money.....

 

[Spudman]

They are listed at MF and Sweetwater etc for $499. Cheap when you look at buying 3 or 4 pedals alone at that price.

 

[SuperSwede]

Spud, thats not a bad price at all considering what you get for the money.

So.... are you going to treat yourself with one?

I'll certainly be trying one out. Every time I've heard someone using the XT Floor I've really liked their sound and it would simplify a bunch of issues I'm having with getting a lot of effects together but trying not to loose signal quality. For the price of two ZYS pedals you can get everything and it's programable.

What about the newer Boss one? Is that similar? What are the main differences?

I was totally misremembering when I posted that last night. I meant the Digitech RP500

I will look at the specs and see, but wonder what you guys think. That digitech looked pretty cool too. I also see MF did a review of the RP500 here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/document/digitech/rp500?doc_id=103755&src=3NL8H7&ZYXSEM=0&Prime= and I will post that link in the correct thread above as well.

If I did not already have almost all the pedals I really want right now, (I guess including the Korg multi I have, I have most things covered) I would look at one of the above very seriously. I like the intuitive dial style of the digitech, but would need to learn more about the advantages if any of the more expensive Line6 one as well.

I'm thinking very seriously about pulling the trigger on one of these. If I could just find an online retailer that would discount Line 6 gear -- even a little. Line 6 must have pretty tight control over the retailer community.

Some nights I'll plug into the Line 6 Pod 2.0 all by itself or into one of my amphs. A nice change of pace from having to replug the jack into the Fuzz Face on the pedal board and plug in the main power adapter for the others. Line 6 makes some GOOD ****.

I placed the order for the M13 tonight. I've seen enough videos on YouTube and heard the sounds on the Line6 site to know that this will more than meet my needs.

I'm planning to place the PRS Mira order later this fall. I'm pretty jazzed up to have some new gear!

Congratulations. :AOK: That is going to be a very enjoyable piece of gear. It's got my wondering what I can get rid of to justify getting one too. They really seem like they are well thought out and simple to use.

I took delivery of the m13 yesterday, and played with it for about 3 hours last night. I'm tired, my fingers are tired, my hind end is tired -- but I had a great time exploring.

So far, so VERY good.

 

[TS808]

The M13 really looks interesting. Post some reviews once you give it a good workout.

 

[Rocket]

...my hind end is tired -- but I had a great time exploring.

I don't know if it specifies in the manual... you're supposed to stomp on those buttons!

Ya know...something odd about this statement. I'm kind of thinking Clay Aiken maybe George Michael. I dunno.oke:

I guess I deserve that. I should probably re-read my posts before I hit the submit button. :thwap:

 

[Jimi75]

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.

 

[Spudman]

Omg!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Hmm, someone find a package at the door today? :bravo:

Nope. But the FedEx driver brought me a wine soaked box with an M13 in it.:AOK:

 

[sunvalleylaw]

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

 

[Spudman]

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.

 

[Spudman]

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.

 

[SuperSwede]

Thats a really cool unit Spuds!

What effects/pedals do you dig so far?

Also. This thread is useless without clips.

 

[Jimi75]

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!

[abraxas]

OK.

I've done it.

I bought one too! :AOK:

Impressions are GREAT thus far; in fact, I'm taking it to a gig next Wednesday! :dude:

 

[Spudman]

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.
