Anyone replaced their pedalboard with an M9?

Re: Anyone replaced their pedalboard with an M9?

I'm not worried about it "sounding digital."

I am all good with the way Line 6 effects sound.

I was more worried about any practical issues I may not be considering like only being able to turn on 3 at a time, why that might be bad, etc.

If you're like me, you'll usually only have delay/reverb/OD going anyways :)
 
Re: Anyone replaced their pedalboard with an M9?

I actually set up the effects loop on my gt-10 so I could press one switch to go between my real RAT and the gt-10's impersonation of it. Once I added a bit of EQ on the gt-10, I managed to get it so that it was impossible to tell which was which. Then I managed the exact same thing with my Big Muff Pi. So I sold them both and never looked back.

The GT-10 can't do the same for a Uni-Vibe though, so I still use that.

Anyway, this thread has made me want to try an M13. I think the stomp box mentality might be much more what I'm looking for.
 
Re: Anyone replaced their pedalboard with an M9?

ok I have a lot to say about this topic still ;)

I was about to get an axefxII but was really blinded by the hype...have yet to hear anything that sounds like a fuzz pedal or real amp that is digital...

ya the m9 will get pleasing tones that deliver, I am just not into any of its analog simulations at all. I am sure the delay and noisegate are fine...

if you look on this forum, there are a few people that got the m9 then sold it...

I made a few threads about boss multifx and in the end concluded it was not for me...I dont need that much variation, dont like the novelty type effects that I would really only use for one song out of twenty...not trying to be rage tom morello or anything either ;) I get that many choices and it really just ends up being cheesy sounding, I have messed with them for recording before my podfarm blew up and it was not for me
 
Re: Anyone replaced their pedalboard with an M9?

This argument is tiring.

I've used L6 PODs for a dozen years. I'm really satisfied with my tones in the X3Live.

Yes, I use it live. Yes, I've recorded with it.

Yes, the stock patches stink. I don't use any of them.

Yes, I prefer the Weeping Demon to the onboard wah. However, if I'm not recording, that's an extra component in the signal chain that is unnecessary.

If you don't like digital, don't use it. Yet that does not mean it is useless to others.

I dont feel people are posting arguments but rather just posting the results they have had with the gear.

if you can use digital, then do it. countless people use it live and for recording and continue to do so with good results. I will always use it for recording. I saw animals as leaders and periphery a few times and they use axefx and it sounds great for that style of music.

digital is in a delay; if you use delay it is in that. some reverbs. etc...for crazy spacey novelty type effects I think digital is great!

I will prolly get an axefx in a few years, I have not heard a clip that sounds great yet for my type of music. never heard them mimic a fuzz pedal properly and I have been recording a long time. kinda close with rat pedal and stuff... bottom line is for classic rock and heavy rock I dont think the technology is there yet.

Awesome, thank you guys.

For how much I play and where, I think it will be perfect for me. I'm trying to neaten up my basement as my son gets more and more mobile and curious.

Right now I have 90 miles of cables and a pile of pedals that is basically a toddler obstacle course

From what I know about how toddlers react to musical equipment, when he reaches it, do you think the M9 will taste better? or worse? ;)

More to the point, I've had issues with Line 6's PC stuff, but that's probably a different thing altogether from their stand-alone stuff.
