M13 for bass???
- Thread starter redrider

Thanks for that link. that thing is really cool. When I get an m9 (december, maybe), I'm totally setting it up with one expression pedal and one of those bad boys.
Baby rig
Big rig in progress
Still looking for a 25K EB, getting a Patchbay made and then decide whether I go George L or something a bit more robust and heavy duty.

Even has an Led with no power, MAGIC
So, is it just the extremes (heel and toe) of normal expression pedal or can you put totally different preset to it? For example fuzz face when expression led is on and phaser when led is off?
Just the extremes, well its where ever you set it to be, it give the M13/9 2 settings to reference so you can have 2 fuzz face settings click a button to toggle between them.
i just tried the M13 at a music store and i really liked it... a lot. a tone-freak guitarist in a band that i am in has one and loves it, especially after the software update. before i sell off my other pedals, i wanted to ask about the quality of the pedal-
i have a DL4 and, while sounding great, it works intermittently (always failing in the studio and on stage, not in rehearsal). Line 6 customer support told me that i was out of luck regarding support and referred me to a private electronics store, where they said (over the phone) that they see a fair number of problems w/ Line 6 pedals, adding that it is almost the cost of a new pedal to replace. the M13 seems like it is built better than the DL4, MM4, DM4, etc... is it?
what kind of midi controller would one use to control the looper?
how does one go about updating the software (programs, cables, etc)?

Another question inspired by my gig last night- my guitarist lost all of the settings on the M13 in the middle of a set. he doesn't know if he did something wrong, or if it glitched out. can the setting be saved in an external source (memory stick, computer, etc)?

Flossin'? I thought your name was Munson!
what kind of file is it backed up as? a specific line 6 program, a music program, etc?
so i took tayste's suggestion and have looked over the book several times... it's a great reference, it cleared up some stuff, but I still don't have too good of an idea about these questions... so, bump.

M13 is built WAY better than the XX4 pedal's I bought a DM4 when I got the M13 as a backup (until the M9 was released) and was shocked about how shoddy the knos were on it. I've had mine for months and I've easily done over 30 gigs with it and probaby near 100 practices with it, not had a single problem with it, but I will say get a case for it. Don't carry it round in a plastic bag and then wonder why you cracked a screen or broke a knob off.
Any midi controller will work with the M13 assuming it sends the right channel and program changes, you could even use a keyboard if you wanted. I once considered have one of these

To do all sort of shoegazer knob twiddling but then I found you can control so much with expr's I didn't both. But for the Looper I though the Tech 21 Midi Moose had just the right number of controls, but really you can access a lot of things while still in looper mode, I don't know why you would want one. But really the answer is any of them, Tech 21, GCX, Axess etc.
Software use midiox or sysex, basically any program that will send midi sysex files, so Midiox for PC and Sysex for OSX, and get something like a M-audio Uno or anything else that looks like this.

Hope this answers everything
regarding a midi controller for the loop, i thought it would be cool w/ a bass gfc-50 or something like that. would I have to synch the pedals w/ M13 or would it be automatically be formatted?
Oh I forgot about one last thing on my small list of wishes for the M9/M13, might as well list my full list:
brassmaster from bass pod xt
bddi clone from bass pod xt
bass synth from the Low Down series
The last one was just added to "my list". The low down bass synth sounds very, very nice.

I probably should add that I completely love my M13 and these aren't really complaints, just wishes. Line 6 did a great job with the recent update.
does the m13 have a gated fuzz? i didn't see on line 6 site, i was wondering if there was one on the update... also, some kind of sub-dub (from the Bass Pod) in an effect?
nope but it does have a really hecticly brilliant noise gate and a loadsa fuzz... if that counts.. it must count..
i use the behringer slow gear.. after fuzz with a mega short time.. or a volume pedal if pushed so no gated fuzz setting but they are easy to make from the m13 oh and no sub dub.. that would be THE one..
no sub dub on the lowdown was the deal breaker.. but now i use the xt pro dry into a trace.. and blend the wet sounds for tape and live.
i only discovered that the m13 could replace THE pedal that gave me g.a.s. the dunlop TVP.. by assinging the speed dial on a tremelo
so now.. im getting one.. ill still use my gains, my syb3+5, sitar swami, alesis bitcrusher and 105q but this is gonna replace EVERYTHING else even my filter pro (only live though dont panic!) and thats a big thing comming from someone who hates multifx.. im very happy trying it out in my mates shop and come payday ill be even happier.. especially since staff discount on the snide.
ive gone from loathing line6 to loving it.. thats your fault mr renken. the new stuff is MINT!
oh on a side note the bit reducing delay.. (sorry i cant remember its real name) thats means IT CAN do bit reduction!
that needs to be on the next update since you already have the means.
oh and put a comb filter decimator and phase modulator.. then even the omar wannabes will be happy!
and me!
much love
