DetroitBlues Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very cool. You're going to love the tones, hopefully the mulitude of options won't overwhelm you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DetroitBlues Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Its a large stomp boxing modeling device. Similiar to a multieffects, only a lot more complicated... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koula901 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Is this vastly better than, say, the Boss modelers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetroitBlues Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 In my opinion, Line 6 has always had the best tone quality. To me they sound better than many other brands such as Boss or Digitech... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have an Axe-Fx Ultra as well as a slew of other processors and pedals so that's not very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 t0aj15, since you have the Ax-Fx Ultra - the creme de la creme, what what will you be using the Line 6 for? Is this for gigging purposes? Or something you can grab 'n' go out the door for jams, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this for gigging purposes? Or something you can grab 'n' go out the door for jams, etc? I prefer to use the Axe-Fx as a stand-alone rig primarily for recording & home use, where-as (if it works out) the M13 would be a pedal-board for use with several different tube amps allowing me to set up several different 'scenes' as Line 6 calls them for each individual amp.

barrymclark Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have heard really, REALLY good things about this. Good luck with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0aj15 Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 OMG, two hours in and this machine is way more then I bargained for. It is quite simply, sonically gorgeous. Those of you who are die-hard tube amp fans really need to give this unit a listen. It does not in any way, shape, form, or fashion change the tone of either your guitar or your amp, it quite simply interjects the efx at the proper place, at the proper time, which is of course selected by you. I'm not going to go much further then that right now..................cause I really just want to go back to playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HRB853370 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 ah, I got a chuckle out of that... I'm waiting for the Line 10 myself Well, at least somebody has a sense of humor here!! When this Line 6 stuff came out in the 90's, I actually thought the 6 was like the model year. So I figured we would have Line 7 and so on and so on. But I don't use modeling or any of that stuff, so it means nothing to me anyways. In the old days, good guitar players got everything they needed from a guitar, a cable and an amp. Sometimes, reverb and tremolo thrown in. What else could one possibly need? And t0aj15 claims to be 100 years old, so he should relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just to clarify, first of all that hundred year old nonsense is whatever the website threw up there. Second of all why bother commenting about gear you admittedly don't use or care about. Others DO and want info. Just to clarify I have been a tube amp nut since the mid sixties, but it doesn't mean I'm not open to new ideas and ways of solving a problem or achieving new goals, different & better sounds. All I'm talking about in this thread is a new FUN piece of gear. I see no reason for vitriolic 'humor'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm honestly considering this piece for later this year. Is any of it software controlled or is it all onboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0aj15 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm honestly considering this piece for later this year. Is any of it software controlled or is it all onboard? It operates with firmware that is update-able via midi. Mine came loaded with version 2.04. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrymclark Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 It operates with firmware that is update-able via midi. Mine came loaded with version 2.04. Ah. Ok. So none of it is software controllable such as what effects are assigned to what position on the pedalboard or what is in the effects loop in what order? This is all done on the actual unit?

t0aj15 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Correct. It's quite simple and straight forward actually. That's one of the advantages of this unit over 'deep' digital units that have multiple screens etc. For instance there is no save function once you select an effect and set the dials because the unit automatically saves the info for you.

Thanks for the info! I have heard from a few people that this is a very good sounding effects unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
