Bought an M9 and.......

Just remember that you don't have to use all of it or use it all the time.

Well I'm really satisfied with my clean tone right now, but I'm looking to get into and begin incorporating effects into my overall sound.

Again, why are you looking for something when you are already satisfied with your clean tone? That's like cheating on a gf...you're satisfied but you WANT more. Not NEED. Now I know why you were disappointed with the m9. You probably plugged it in and thinking it was going to make you a better player, make your rig sound like $5000, make you a rock star. You say you're a metal head but when have you heard effects on bass other than some type of overdrive/distortion on metal songs (not absolute but most of the time)? I'm sorry if I'm coming out like an A-hole but the more I read your posts the more I think you have no clue what you're talking about. I can't even begin to imagine how you are trying to use your m9.

Dude calm down. One of the best ways to test the waters of effects is getting a multi. The M9 is a great choice that grants a ton of options and freedoms that others don't. But with so much to choose from it can be overwhelming in the beginning. That's why we have these forums.

i've started to really hunker down and explore the stompbox. there is alot going on, but I'm glad that you guys talked me into keeping it and taking it slow. that thread with the M9 tips/tricks will really help out. I appreciate all the feedback. thanks.

I play for our church, and have an m13. I use some chorus, OD, EQ, the tube comp, not all at the same time. I keep it pretty tame. I am hoping to work in some wah etc.
