Line 6 M series

[DaleASmith]

Hi

 I’ve just bought a Line 6 M9. Anyone else still using the M series?

Yeppers, my M5 is on my board as a 'modulation box'; good little unit that's even better with an expression pedal.

Yeah I plan on using an expression pedal. You can control pretty much any parameter as I understand it.

I have a couple of M5s on pedalboards. I did look into an M9 for my guitar pedalboard, tried it and discovered it smothered  the dynamics a little too much for my liking so sent it back.  There was a guy offering upgrades to the M9 but he hasn't responded to messages or emails for quite a few years.  But the mods basically made the M9 a studio quality effect.

yes, it's also possible to control multiple parameters simultaneously - e.g. I have an overdrive patch where the expression pedal controls the amount of overdrive, blend, eq settings and volume all in one sweep. Dead easy to set up too.

That’s incredible from a creativity point of view

It's been a fairly popular unit (after mods) with Nashville session guitarists because you can basically grab a know to tweak on the fly if a producer requests it.  No scrolling through menus.
