Members MoreGuitars Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 The guys at Line6 are killing my wallet! I'm a M13 user, I love it, but my reality is I use probably 5% of it's capability. This might make a lot of sense to a lot of working players. Currently, with the M13 I use only one scene, I just don't need a lot of different sounds. I could see this being more in line with guys like me who play in classic rock/blues bands.

Members kriista Posted August 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'd say 3 with cables, or 4 smack next to each other, using the digitech as a point of reference.roughly the same space as 4 boss pedals with cables i suppose..

Members chrisjnyc Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 Whats the deal with the M9... Does it have the all 5 fx types (delay, mod, filter, distortion, verbzilla) in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Musickbox Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I only used one scene, used maybe two-three sounds, and the looper. For not using it to half it's capabilities, I just decided sell it. The M9 looks like it was designed for people like me that didn't need the whole package of the M13. I'm eager to see the final version with all the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cosmonautsix Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm also in this boat... Use 2 sounds at the most together, one scene and not even all 12 presets.... I might go with the M9 for sure... now to sell the M13... ugh... but if the M9 dosnt have scenes... that might be a deal breaker with only 6 presets unless there was a guitar monkey type setup..

Members theroan Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I on the other hand will use all of the switches on a scene for the M13. But I only use 2 or three scenes though. But I like having them, like the bass one or the U2 or Police ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kriista Posted August 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 Are 'scenes' in the M13 a preset, or a bank of presets? Either way I'd be tickled pink if it had the bottom row of DL4 looper functionality and the 3 top ones could be single stompable fx (verb, modulation, maybe dirt).

USB?!?! Not to sound like an employee of L6 with a Non-Disclosure or anything, but I have it on good authority that the M9 will have scenes. 6 to be exact...

Members Musickbox Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 Are 'scenes' in the M13 a preset, or a bank of presets? The best to describe it is Scenes are a group of presets or banks, in this case pedals. Each switch represents a pedal (DL4, MM4, Verbzilla, etc). In the M13 you have four rows (ABCD) and three switches each row (A1, A2, A3, B1, etc...) for a total of 12 switches. The whole group of switches are called a scene and to change scenes, in scene mode, those same 12 switches represent a scene. So you can have up to 12 scenes or 12 groupings on the M13. Make sense? Sort of? Hopefully this applies to the M9. If it's like this then you can have 8 "pedals" per scene and 8 scenes total. That will be more than enough IMO. Especially for me. EDIT: According to the previous post it's 6 scenes, so I'm assuming it's 6 pedals per scene. Probably 1-3 pedals at a time depending on the specs.

Members kriista Posted August 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I get ya. Yeah scenes would be nice, but as I mentioned, I don't know if I would use them. I found that when I used to have rack/programmed stuff, I hardly used anything, as when the moment was happening, instead of engaging an effect, I would just make a mental note that I wanted an effect there, then forget to program it for next time, or not bother with the whole thing altogether.

Members NetStar Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 I hop you can have more than one effect on at once. I am very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way I'd be tickled pink if it had the bottom row of DL4 looper functionality and the 3 top ones could be single stompable fx (verb, modulation, maybe dirt). From what I know, a 'Scene' is a preset of 4 different effects, or, 12 different 'pedalboards' with 4 effects in each scene. And any combination of effects. If you want 4 phasers at a time, you can do it. 4 delays, flangers, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terminus Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 yeah, multi-effects are cool. They should consider adding an expression pedal. YOu can add one yourself. At least on the M!# wich has an expression pedal input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hooya Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 YOu can add one yourself. At least on the M!# wich has an expression pedal input. The M!# is the one with even MORE stomp switches, apparently. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Harry_Manback1 Posted August 25, 2009 Members Share Posted August 25, 2009 $OLD! I asked him to mod my M13... I was being facetious , but the M9 does look like a feasible DL4 replacement for me.I do love the looks of the Drasp DL4s, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members olgluefoot Posted August 26, 2009 Members Share Posted August 26, 2009 I want a Drasp modded M9.Arnt their new L6 switches the same ones he uses? I thought the problem with the DL4 was the use of old style switches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kriista Posted August 26, 2009 Author Members Share Posted August 26, 2009 The switches look different than the Drasp/cusack ones, but one of these sandblasted and plain steel, ala Drasp would be something to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a scene is a preset for 12 different effects (which you can use up to 4 effects at a time). so you have 12 effects to chose from but 4 is the limit per scene. In scene mode, you can choose 12 different scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
