Just got my Line6 M13... This board is TERRIBLE!

Sign in to disble this ad
I am very disappointed with this product. Mine arrived today and I wish I'd saved $400 for something else. Something like paying a dominatrix to kick me in the face repeatedly.

Here it is "brand new". Ok, sure, the box looks ok.



I don't even know where the hell I'm supposed to turn each setting on. I'm not sure what the furry pedal cover is for, but it's not really necessary.



I played it for about 10 minutes and didn't realize ANY difference in my tone. Well, unless you count added-noise as a difference. Maybe I'm just too dumb to figure this thing out.



I couldn't get the rocker to work or anything. No matter which buttons I hit, I just either got squeels, squeeks, or feedback. As a matter of fact, every time I changed settings, the board would hiss. Great, like I need the audience audibly hearing everytime I make a change to my selected pedals.



Whatever man. This thing is getting returned on Monday.

My guitar player uses one and it is the best thing he has ever done with his sound. It does take more than a day to figure out, and reading the manual a lot helps

Did you plug the cables in correctly?
I know the jacks aren't marked with "in" and "out".


Oh, and I don't see a powersupply cable in the pictures.
Pretty obvious that that's not going to get it to work.

Even the "MEOWWWWW" effect doesn't work?

I had to send mine back. After playing with it for about four or five minutes, it would stop playing and go into sleep mode for a few hours.

Does it model the LOLcat?





Strangely this thread reminds me that I might put my Goatkeeper up for sale.
Someone is going to get surprised.

This is cracking me up! I've been wanting one of those pedals for a while, but they make my eyes itch.

I guess you haven't heard of the "meow-mix" mod. Makes it a lot more user friendly.
