DaleASmith Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Hi I’ve just bought a Line 6 M9. Anyone else still using the M series? Quote
paul_5 Posted April 30 Posted April 30 Yeppers, my M5 is on my board as a 'modulation box'; good little unit that's even better with an expression pedal. 1 Quote

Kiwi Posted May 1 Posted May 1 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. 1 Quote

Dead easy to set up too. 1 Quote

Kiwi Posted Friday at 11:27 Posted Friday at 11:27 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. 1 Quote

Says he no longer does them as the platform is unreliable. I’m guessing it’s marginal gains, and sending players with have moved into the Helix if audio quality is that important. Quote
