Line 6 M13

It could not be much easier to use, however I do think you need to view the full manual that is available on the Line 6 web site. The quick start guide that is included with the unit does not provide enough information to really use the unit properly.

Editing patches is very easy due to each effect having knobs to twist.

I use this unit with Fender Super-Sonic combo amp, a Fender Strat and an Agile AL-3100.

I found the unit to be very quiet even using the four cable conection method.

Each effect I have used sounds great to me, I don't hear any digital artifical tones.

I was surprised at how good the distortion, fuzz, and overdrive sounds are after hearing some negative reports on those effects.

The M13 is in a metal case and seems that it should be pretty dependable as long as reasonable care is taken.

I will probably still bring a few pedals as a backup, but I like to be prepared for anything.

All the support info on the web site is good. I have not had contact line 6 for support on any of the line 6 gear I own.

I play classic rock from the 60s and 70s and have been performing in bands since the late 80s. The models of all the classic stompboxes and classic studio effects makes the M13 perfect for me.

Theoretically its easy to handle this thing. The upgrades (currently on 1,07)were essential and fine (bpm setting!!!)and I'm waiting for the next ones. Editing the patches is easy at home but I still find it a little difficult on stage.
I solved my problems adding some external pedals, most essential a volume pedal. I shall improve this whole thing. Once you get started, the everything, is rolling. The manual is not the bible of it, and I found out some stuff only after experimenting.

I'm using this machine with (Jam TrueBypass Multi Box) which allows me having an el. violin, a G&L Strat and sometimes drum machines and synths like Alesis Micron. For amplification I use AER domino, Engl thunder 50. Sometimes I go on stereo thanks to this machine and I couple o l.r.baggs paraDIs
I own 2 exp-1s pedals and control the m13 with these two. The are not something extraordinary, just cheapy junkie pedals, semidoing their functions. Get a better exp pedal if you find one! I also have a handmade LFO-like pedal which like a constantly moving exp pedals helps me do some crazy stuff too.
At first I was hoping the I'd go live only with M13 for FX but now a have a bunch of my old pedals back on duty. This include Jamman Looper, Ebs Dynaverb, Mxr Phase 90 (modded), byoc envelope filter and sometimes other stuff. I hope I'll put my hand on a couple of moogerfoogers in the close future
I'm using the noise gate on the lowest setting, but there's no noise at all, and I really love quiet musical enviroment for me and not the circuits alone to flourish.
The drives are very easy to use on any given situation, but as told before, there are some situations where they prove tiring.
I love the synths and filter, not tron up/down for which I use a byoc pedal. I'm stucking two same Q filters sometimes for an orgasmic wah fx. I use the qfilter for wha/rythmic stuff but on studio I prefer my fully-modded Dunlop.
The delays are an advantage, beeing that easily configurated and stucked is godsend. Bmp, dotted 8ths etc is what I needed. Sometimes the sound is not of my wish but I can blame myself overstucking fx without meaning on occasion.
The modulations are ok (nothing special for me in M13), but I kept my Mxr phase 90 before M13 as it proved itself on my experiments.
The reverbs are my doom. While I like some of it, I can't get used to the pre-delay function of it. I like using the Reverb on staccato notes, altering their envelope. But with the predelay thing, I can't. It should have a switch off. (it goes to 20ms). This way I can use only very low mix settings. I have an EBS dynaverb stereo connected on send return for the occasions it's needed.
The looper is perfect for quick looping.(I use a jamman looper mostly for sampling, and storing ideas)
Generally it maintains quiet, clean, and helps keeping in the mix at all situations, after getting to dial the sounds as well their easy access and usability (if a constant modificator) on stage.

I would take another one if I was completely depended on it. I'm not carrying a boss dd-20 and dunlop wah with me so if something happens I can play most of my stuff.
Whenever I'm taping on the tap button I'm a bit afraid cracking it. If i find myself more depended on this machine, I'l look for a backup machine (maybe a used one).
I'm experienced with machines generally and my instinct says that this machine could go through much but betray you with no reason. Can't depend on it totally for sure.

I haven't dealt with the company, but it's not by luck. I wouldn't try too. This big company is not good for that. That's why I prefer lone crafters when i can. I hope that if something happens I'll get over it myself.

I play a lot of styles, mainly my music is a mix of electro/post rock/avandgarde/dance styles. M13 is good for many reasons. I play music professionally for 5 years.
If stolen i'd get another, or maybe upgrade to more of a rack situation.
I love the lights (hehe), the ability of using the fx on every position (even stucking 4 same fx at one time), the easiness for stereo, the wealth of fx and... The great looper!
Great philosophy on fx usage is also why I bought it
I don't like the volume pedal eating on position.
the reverbs' predelay limit (20ms)
the luck of a pitch shifter.
configutation the exp pedals

Even if this thing failed in every other category, it'd get a 10 here. The packaging calls it "bonehead simple," and it's no lie! I had this thing up and running moments after opening the box, and I never needed the manual. The manual is there, and it's adequate; and there's a far more in-depth "advanced" manual available at the Line 6 web site -- but you really don't need the manual. It's basically just four stompboxes, each with an A, B, and C setting. Each stompbox's three settings can be any effects you want, from any category, so it's a total of 12 fully customizable stomps. The knobs below each LCD screen control the different effects parameters, and each effect you tweak automatically saves the last knob positions (just like a real stompbox). You can save up to 12 pedal board layouts ("scenes"), making this, in effect, 12 pedal boards full of 12 stomps each, with four available simultaneously on each board.

It has a stereo effects loop too, which is assignable to any position in the chain. You can use it to run external stompboxes in series with the M13's effects, or put your amp in the effects loop to run compressors and distortions in the amp's input, and reverbs and delays in the amp's effects loop. And since it's stereo in/out, you could do this with two amps at once.

The built-in looper is just icing on the cake, but it's something I thought I'd never use and I ended up using it all the time. Just for laying down some chords to jam over, or even during gigs for copping riffs to use later in the song for soloing over, it's pretty kickass.

Don't bother with the manual until after you've played a little while. Then read it for all the hidden functions and not-immediately-obvious stuff like copying effects and scenes. And don't forget to grab the latest firmware update (need a USB MIDI interface for this, but you can find 'em cheap enough if you look).

I use this in my ampless rig: Music Man JP6, Crybaby wah, M13, Tech 21 TRI-A.C., BBE Sonic Stomp, Tech 21 Power Engine or straight to the mixer. I can get any sound I want with this rig, and it's perfect for playing with a cover band. In fact, the M13 is great for cover band players in particular, since you may need a certain effect for just one part of one song, and who wants to spend money on another pedal just for that?

When I first used this with a tube amp, it was a little noisy using the four-cable method (to run the amp in the M13's loop), but that turned out to be dependent on the venue. Sometimes it would be dead silent. There is a built-in global noise gate (that you can turn off if you so choose) that works well, and you could always use a hum-canceling device somewhere in your chain if you need to. It's been quiet no matter where I've used it with my ampless rig.

The effects in this thing are pristine, thanks to 24-bit AD/DA conversion and a 48 kHz sample rate (with 32-bit floating point for DSP), well in excess of the industry standard. The delays and reverbs in particular are crisp, detailed, and dynamic; they're right up there with effects in units that cost twice as much. (It should be noted that the models in this unit don't come from the POD line; they're the same models -- for the most part -- that were used in the other standalone modeling pedals: the DM4, MM4, DL4, etc., plus the Verbzilla. And like those units, the M13 uses all its processing power on just the effects, whereas the POD spends most of its processing power on amp modeling. So even POD detractors may still like the models in this unit.)

And the distortions. This is the deal-breaker for a lot of the multieffects units. I wasn't counting on finding a usable distortion in the M13, but I???m happy with my amps' distortions anyway. To my surprise, I was able to dial in sounds to A/B test against my amp tones, and I could barely tell the difference! Granted, these can take considerable trial and error to dial in properly, but that's no different from any single distortion pedal you can buy, and the M13 has 16 or so. There are a few distortion models in particular that I've found incredibly useful: Line 6 Distortion, Line 6 Drive, Screamer, and Overdrive. The compressors are also good, and even though they're part of the "distortion" category, you can run as many effects from the same category as you have room for (unlike with the PODs), so go ahead and run a compressor before your distortion!

As of firmware revision 1.07, there are a couple bugs. Their analog chorus model causes a big volume boost when the mix drops below 50%, making the effect pretty much useless. I've also noticed slight volume boosts with the delays, but it's minor enough that it could be my imagination. There's a big firmware update planned for sometime in the next month or so, and rumors hint at fixes for these bugs plus a ton of cool additions (new models?). The guys at Line 6 have been extremely mindful of user feedback with the M13, so I have no doubt that the big features everyone's asking for will be implemented (intelligent harmonizer, pitch shift, equalizer, to name a few).

All in all, I can't see taking any points off in this category. The thing sounds absolutely phenomenal, and Line 6 have been totally on the ball with fixes for bugs.

Some people are concerned about this, probably thanks to a batch of bad switches on the DL4s a few years ago, plus lots of (deserved) complaints about the build quality of certain other products. I see nothing on the M13 itself that concerns me, though. It's steel, the switches are metal, and the knobs are protected from my feet by metal bars. As long as the switches hold up, I don't see what else could go wrong.

Haven't needed them, but they have a good support site, and some Line 6 employees post there and at other forums regularly. I can usually find answers to questions I have by just browsing one of these.

I play in a cover band, so it's a mix of styles, but mostly hard rock. I've been playing over 17 years. I've owned a lot of gear, but I usually sell what I'm not using, so right now it's just the ampless rig with the M13, a 30-watt custom tube amp, and my guitars. I've owned quite a few Line 6 products, and while I liked most of them okay, I always ended up going back to traditional gear. I just can't get 100% behind amp modeling, not yet anyway. The M13 is different, though; I don't sacrifice anything about my tone the way I would with digital amp models. I still get the amp tones I want, but with a plethora of killer effects from the M13. I'd definitely buy another if this were stolen.

I looked at a few similar units (TC Electronic Nova System, BOSS ME-70), but I went with this for a couple reasons. One: effects loop. It's useless to me if I have to run either/or in front of or in the effects loop of the amp; it's four-cable or nothing. Two: buzz. Huge threads about this thing in all the gear forums, tons of great reviews, people calling it the best product Line 6 has ever put out. In the end, sheer versatility won out, and I took one home to try out. The sound quality sealed the deal, and now I'm keeping it. This thing rules.

This is by far the easiest MutiFX unit to program I've ever used.
Editing patches is a breeze especially on the fly live. I could rarely do that with my G2. Manuals are great and I updated the firmware to 1.07 with no problems.

I use 3 amps... Marshall 6100 w/el34's, Orange TinyTerror, Fender Deluxe Reverb.... My chain is.... Boss TU-2 -> Morley Bad Horsie -> Timmy -> Turbo Tube Screamer -> DD-20 -> M13 -> Voodo Amp Switcher.

The first one I got failed on me within the first week.... got a replacement with no hassles. Otherwise... no opinion yet.

Haven't had any experience with Line 6 Support... however, Guitar Center traded out the bad m13 with no hassle.

I play a variety of styles but mostly classic rock and contemporary christian and have been playing for about 35 years. I've been using a Lexicon G2 for the past 10 years and decided to give this unit a try when I was at GC a while back. I was blown away right from the start. It is amazingly simple to program. The quality of the effects is good....there are some that are really great and a couple that still need some work imho ie....Tron Up. It's also really quiet and has no negative impact on the quality of the signal path like some pedals or units do.

I am a DINOSAUR. I don't like modeling, transistors, simulations, pro tools and all the rest of the crap that let's kids sound like they have a clue what they're doing without lots of hard work, practice and dues paying. But dammit - I love this unit. Easy to use for those of us who don't play video games or know how to hack computers. Turn the little knobs - just like on the stompbox. There is still a short learning curve and you may have to actually check the manual, but life is tough.

The FX sound damn good and with a little tweaking can come pretty close to some of your favorite boxes and even improve on others. Will they match a Klon or SIB or Zenkudo - NOPE! But they will get you solid copies of the boxes they were set up to duplicate and by using your ears (that's what they are there for) you can dial in some reasonable facsimiles. The delays are to-die-for, the reverbs delightful, the tremolos and vibrato very good, solid chorus, the Leslie pretty good (more parameters needed to fine tune those) and the rest of the bells and whistle FX I leave up to the Pink Floyd followers. The one missing effect I wish it had was a POG (12 string simulator. The sounds are as close as you're gonna get without dragging all your favorite Halloween Boxes with you.

Much more reliable than a pedal board with lots of patch cables to go south during a show, and if it gets snagged by the sticky finger boys you are out a tenth of what you would lose if they stole your board.

I called Line 6 once and actually got a human on the phone. I wouldn't worry about problems.

I have been playing since guitars were steam powered and have had my music played on hard rock, pop, country, jazz, R&B and oldies stations. Music is music. My stuff relies more on playing than gimmicks so my pedal board requirements are pretty basic and old school. The M13 pretty much covers them. Trem, tuner, reverb, delays, chorus, vibrato, leslie, overdrive, boost, comp, etc. I don't use anything with Tron or Xtreme in the name so this review is directed at the gang that knows who the Kings (all of 'em), Wes, Chuck, Burton, Cole, Campbell, Reed, Roberts, Kessel, Chet, Duane, Carl, Travis, Luke, Lee and the rest are. And a tip of the hat to Derek, Brad, Brent,and the rest of the younger guys who play so damn well.

This is a follow up to my earlier review - after the 'honeymoon' so to speak - the M13 is easy to use - very intuitive

Here's where it started to get bad - and why I eventually had to sell it - Okay - when you are playing by yourself in a room - the thing sounds awesome - probably would sound great recording - but when you are playing with a full band - this thing starts to crap out - and why? well, I believe it's the same with all digital effects - there's a natural sort of compression going on which limits the dynamic range of the sound. This becomes even more pronounced if you play clean - like I do - the quite parts become louder and the louder parts become quieter - no matter how much you hit the strings. Maybe I'm just used to relying on the dynamic character of my playing - and yes, I had all teh compressors in the m13 turned off - It's the nature of the sound running through a DSP - it's like this with pretty much all the more complex digital effects I've tried out - eventide time factor, other line 6 pod things, boss multi-effects - they all do the same thing...

Also, the fuzzes and distortion on this thing get real tiring after a while - kind of hard to explain - but if you are used to the 'real thing' pedals - there's just something about modelling that is fatiguing.

seems reliable

great here - no marks off

Overall, I became more and more disappointed with this the more I tried to use it with a full band in a live situation - I don't think it's line 6's fault really - I think it's just the nature of the digital all-in-one beast...

I guess it all depends on the sound you wanna get - you can push a button to try and sound like hendrix - and it will kind of sound like that - but really - it's all about soul, how you use your fingers, what song you are playing, the vibe in the room, etc... and for me, this thing killed the vibe - it's a bummer

Designed for boneheads and man it delivers. Not saying 'we' are stupid but simple just seems to cut it when you want a tone quickly.

None of this Line 6 X3 malarkey where dialling a tone takes a PHD, 6 months and a few Hail Marys!

It's instant, gratifying and works JUST like your regular stompboxes.

You only need the manual for some of the editing and to adjust things like the global noise gate, screen colours, the left-right or right-left stompbox routing etc.

It's plug in and make music simple.

The sounds: they are excellent.

The distortions - while some people are saying they are average, they in fact are very solid. Want a very slightly distorted warm blues tone to kick you amp into gear - try a tube compressor or boost. Tube gain and a tube comp for ZZ top - beautifully easy. Kickin blues is a snap. And if hard rock or crazy metal is your thing there are plenty of other boxes awaiting your enjoyment.

The delays sound wonderful, mods really nice too and the crazy synch stuff is a hoot. Thought initially that I wouldn't even touch this stuff but I hooked up a few the other day with a mod and reverb and man I had this Count Dracula playing a humungous church pipe organ like tone. It was mad and I got a huge kick out of making my guitar sound so different. I was even making crazy pianist motions in the air with my picking hand it sounded so cool.

Basically this box allows so many different configurations and provides so much sonic power that you can get lost in the music making.

Reverbs sound really nice.

The looper is WONDERFUL. You wanna work on a blues jam or something? Record it in (it's crystal clear too) and go banana's for half an hour trying all the rifts you struggle to pay by yourself (without a backing track).

If you combined all the Line 6 stuff including the looper you would be up for around $2700 Aus dollars.

I picked it up cheap so it's a bargain for what it does.

Just grab half a dozen of the pedals it emulates and you'll be up for way more.

And this way you have MANY MANY more tones to play with than you would never have realistically forked out your hard earned cash for...but now you can indulge yourself in musical effects and styles that you normally wouldn't which makes for lots of cool times and great jamming.


A number of people I???ve talked to with the real pedals say they don???t sound that much different to this. About 90-95% similar in many cases.


Who apart from an expert with a modelled unit would really know? Once you include different amps and guitars etc tones change drastically anyway. Just know that it contains plenty of sonic mayhem.

My POD 1.0 that is over 10 years old is going fine.

The product manager that responded below states it was boot camped for guitarists and it is heavy and solid.

Should last years and years like my POD I hope.

Look at it this way - it's NOT an X3 Live!

Never dealt with them

This is like when I got my original POD.

It makes music fun and you can jump around like a crazy man changing sounds and effects and tones and have a real blast.

Combined with my POD it's a really portable setup that I can take anywhere and practice having heaps of fun.

Combined with my 2x12 inch 120watt tube amp...its crazy times ahead.

I love it...really really really glad I bought it.

I was shopping for a new POD for practice but didn't like it - take off all the dual tone garbage, the effects and just listen to the basic amp tones and the POD X3 doesn't sound so hot. Maybe if I invested 6 months of my life like people say (it needs time/tweaking etc) it would sound awesome.

But...like a 'normal' guy I would rather spend time playing, enjoying time with my wife, friends, drinking whatever...NOT learning to program a stupid box cause it DOESN'T produce a decent sound without a POD PHD.

I like the ability to muck around with an amp and get tones simply and easily. The M13 in conjunction with a real amp is simple, yet incredibly powerful (you will never be able to adjust your real stomp boxes around in so many different permutations like this live nor be able to setup your rig for your acoustic, your bass, your keyboard or even you styles: metal rig, blues , country rig etc etc).


It???s gratifying, flexible, sounds great and is so very awesome.

Get one.

I traded in my Rocktron rack unit + controllers for this. Out the box & plaugged in to my amp, manual in hand, it was a breeze to set up the effects. I've used Line6 stuff now for about 8-9 years and have always been pleased with the simplicity to get it to work there & then and being able to dive deeper if I need to. Take some time to read the manual supplied but also download the bigger manual from Line6 as that has some handy info available which will make things become clear & easier (like fine tuning the deal time in MS, being able to change the F/X order from L-R or R-L). Take some time to play with it & you will be rewarded! compared to my rocktron, this is a walk in the park to set up. If you know how to use a stomp box, you know how to use this.

when purchased, it was v1.04 firmware which I have just upgraded to v1.07

I play in a band doing a lot of modern pop/rock covers (Kaiser Chiefs, Chillis, Foos, Snow Patrol, Stereophonics, U2 etc). Current set up is Clapton Strat/Custom shop Strat into a Fender Prosonic. At the moment, it is routed as Gtr -> Floor Stompboxes -> M13 -> front end of amp. I haven't had the time to play with the various routing options yet but it is on my list of things "To Do". some of my stompboxes are actually modelled in the M13 so, they may well eventually get retired too. I have used this on several gigs now and to date, have not noticed any noise. The effects deliver, in my opinion, superb quality and I know that I can tweak on the fly if need be. I have not yet really had the chance to properly deep dive into this unit but, have set up a couple of "scenes" to cover most of what I do in the band. I keep forgetting that it is true bypass because I dont actually bypass (yet!!). I like the delays (Line6 always seem to do this so well), the modulation f/x sound cool too, O/D's & distortions at the moment are covered by my stomps (TS9, RAT, MXR Micro Amp & Bad Monkey) but i do use an octave fuzz from the M13 and have recently tried the Dod 250 as well (which sounds good). I have dabbled with the compressors which I am pleased with, they do what they should do but, have yet to stop using my MXR Dyna comp stomp (it's hard, you get attached to things dont you!). The reverbs sound great for what I need so all in, I am very pleased with what it delivers. In my opinion, there is little colouration to my sound

I have owned a number of Line6 products and overall have never had problems with them. I have used a Flextone 1 & 2 as my main gigging amp for a few years & of late, I used a POD XT Live for all my rehearsals (3-4 a week) plus some gigs - Never any trouble. this unit is built like a tank, housed in solid metal so it should be able to handle the life of a gigging musician. My only "gripes" are the rotary control knobs feel a bit flimsy but, they function ok - it's just my view/opinion. Also the stomp switches look a bit cheap, almost plastic.

I take this to gigs without a backup as such ie no reverb/delay or mod f/x

N/A - Never had cause to contact. However, I must say that what also impressed me was the fact that the Line6 product manager (Rich Renko) is a familiar name here and actually listens to what people say & post & replies to them - I cant think of times that I have seen say Fender or Boogie do that?

I decided to get this unit as I was fed up with how I had to programme the rocktron & the fact that the parms didn't make much sense to me. Line6 manuals are always written with the user in mind with as little tech jargon as possible. I didn't try the unit before I got it either - I read the reviews here & saw a couple of video demo's on you tube & decided to go for it. So far, I am not dissapointed with my choice. With the range of effects on offer, I am certain that over time, this unit will be able to handle and deliver everything I need. It's robust but portable, sounds great & for the money, I believe you get an awful lot of features & functionality. The sounds are great, well, I like them any way. If it were stolen, I would buy again unless Line6 bought out a version 2 of this and it was better. My next steps with this are to run it thru my amp F/X loop but also to try routing some stomps in there too and/or, routing the M13 O/D, Comps and distortions in the front end of my amp with the rest thru the F/X loop. With 12 scenes, I also need to sit down properly and think and plan each scene set up and layout.

Another "gripe" is the LCD displays - I would prefer to see a numeric value rather than status bar. I'd also like to be able to copy an effect from 1 scene to another. Rotary encoders would be a nice touch too - It's a bit annoying at times having the control knobs function as they do. A USB interface would also be good as wouyld the ability to fine edit via a PC (for those of us that are that way inclined).

This would have to be the easiest unit to use on the market. Editing the patches is straight forward. The manual is very helpful.

I use it with a fender bassman head and it shines. The true bypass is perfect, their is no noise. The overdrives and distortions are great and the delays, reverbs, choruses etc, is where this unit kills the others. The gates allow you to get really great overdrive sounds. It also has a few weird synth type of effects which are fun.

I have just bought it.

I have just bought it.

A very versatile unit, easy to use, sounds excellent. I would say this is the best sounding and user friendly unit I've ever owned. I would replace it if it got lost.

This is one of the most intuitive piece of equipment I've owned. It is very well thought out and easy to understand. There are no real menus, it is set up like stomboxes. You can dial in what you want with a knob and it will remember what you did - you can also set it to forget too... The manual is a bit weak, but to be honest, I didn't need to look at it until I wanted to copy effects and deal with scenes and all that. It's really easy to get a great sound out of it. Not every effect is for every person, this is true, but dang, what is there sounds great.

I play dark, dreamy, fuzzy haunted surf music. I run several different guitars thru two fenders - a deluxe and a twin (stereo baby!). I also run a korg tuner, a sparkle drive and a foxrox octron in front of the pedal. These pedals are crucial to my sound as far as fuzz and light overdrive while keep the clean signal passing through. I do believe the distortions on this unit aren't the greatest in the whole world, but they aren't bad either. It just takes a bit longer to dial it in - espeically at gig volume. The unit is dead quiet. The effects can be as strong or as weak as you want. The delays self-oscillate, the flangers wobble and the reverbs can be as big as you want. I don't try and copy sounds from anyone. This unit inspired me to be creative and I can be as weird or as conventional as I want. Be tasteful with it - you dont' have to leave it on all the time - and it will play nice. I dont' use the trons and all that stuff - but they are pretty strange and fun once in a while. Overall, it sounds great and it doesn't kill my tone.

So far it seems reliable. I haven't had any issues with it. seems to be built like a tank. I guess time will tell. But I'm not worried about it. I would always gig with some sort of back up.

Great company - the programmers answer questions and take feedback from customers. nice.

I have to admit I'm not a big pod fan. I don't like the variax or the amp modellers out there. I have tried many multieffects units and have always been disappointed. I tend to veer towards the side of boutique pedals. So far I've been trying to find the flaws with this things, but I really can't. Think of it like one of those old Ibanez multi-effects units - only updated and updateable. Love the fx loops, and the looper on this things totally jams. It's the best looper pedal out there, at least as far as I have played. You have two expression pedals - you can use the expression pedal to bring up all four effects if you want, so like you could have a dry signal in the heel down position and the toe position could be flanger, delay, fuzz, self oscillating weirdness. I hate to sound like I'm gushing all over this pedal without being critical, but for the price of a delay, a nice tremolo, phaser pedal, and a flanger - you could get one of this and get a class A looper in the process. It's really nice, and even with whatever flaws it has (doesn't every pedal have a flaw of some sort?) - it's a very musical piece of equipment that doesn't' get in the way of making music. I'm actually really surprised. Nice job Line 6.
