Line 6 M13-How to set-up and use the expression pedal

[bboybluehair]

Strange question, but I have an idea. Can you assign different effect values to other pedal positions (halfway etc.?) besides heel down and heel up?

[jaylimsaysss]

Thank you for sharing this!

[mikefrommontreal]

Thumbs up if this made you dizzy enough to forget all the content.

[tuttobono]

You can't just use any volume pedal - they don't all work with the M13 - the Ernie Ball 25K volume pedal does

[caincolesr]

Could you please tell me if an expression pedal is the same as A volume pedal. I need to buy one for my m13. thank you.

[scorpguitar79]

@caincolesr same thing essentially.

[caincolesr]

@scorpguitar79 Thanks.

[dotsunmoon]

You can always review your video and then do it over and do it so it is understandable.

[airmiami]

Yo, shaky camera guy! I was cutting myself watching this, it's a painful video to watch. Please stop yr wobble-wobble. This isn't instructional, it's torturizable. Yep.

[alwyncruz]

can i use FV500 to m13 as a switchable volume and expression pedal in one? and what should I use for the m13, FV500 H or L.. pls help me with the configuration. thank you.. :D

[jamisonic]

Very informative. Great job.



[mrgrimm66sick]

What kind of cable are you using for the pedal? Just the regular trs 1/4 to trs 1/4 or trs 1/4 to ts 1/4

[scorpguitar79]

@mrgrimm66sick standard 1/4 instrument cable.

[novanine9]

Is there an output on the pedal?

I just got mine line 6 pedal and it only has an input. The other slot for an output is covered with a plastic button.

Is that how yours is?

[scorpguitar79]

@novanine9 yep-just connect the lone input to whatever you want

[novanine9]

@scorpguitar79 - Thanks so much...SO...NO OUTPUT, HUH?

i returned a previous one for that reason, and the 2nd one I got back was the same thing, lol!

thanks again

[JacobCain86]

@novanine9 have you tried pulling the tab out?

[sneakypower]

I don't know if anybody responded to this question, but the reason some people may want 2 expression pedals is that they don't want all of their effects to shift when they engage. For example, you may want more depth to a chorus but you don't want your delay to speed up or have more repeats. Have a nice day.

[covelinhas]

does this work as well with the boss FV-50 pedal?

[scorpguitar79]

@covelinhas yes this will work with any pedal

[covelinhas]

@covelinhas Well, I don't seem to make it work!?!? I'm not sure about the settings that are needed to be made!?

[Zelamir]

A tripod would be fine in this video, really... But great video anyway, makes things clear regarding pedals. Thank you.

[nattyg312]

do you have to use the line 6 expression pedal or can you use any cheap thing?

[MegaBrebis]

Great video, thank you!

I am about to order the M13. What about reliability?

Why would 2 expression pedals be useful?

Cheers

[MichaelKnight71]

hmm, so could you (and if so how) use the effects pedal and m13 to emulate a "gilmour" (sound on sound) sound effect?

(i.e. make a long delayed spacy cord and play stuff over that?)

[scorpguitar79]

@MichaelKnight71 you actually dont need the fx-1 pedal for that-you would just hit the looper button and record a chord with an auto-volume echo and let that loop play and then play over that. I've got a bunch of examples of this on my vids-check them out!

[MichaelKnight71]

@scorpguitar79 which video(s) if you dont mind me asking?

[ercspy]

can anybody tell me why when i plug the cable in my amp make noises, i got a fender guitar and fender amp. how can i fix it. thnxs.

[TheWhopman]

Hey,,,it all works out! Still a good vid. Just teasing with ya anyway!

[TheWhopman]

Dude, youve GOT to get that friggen cord away from your foot. Your gonna be jumpen rope.  It only takes a darn second. Geees!

[scorpguitar79]

thank goodness it all worked out ok!

[mojoefly]

will line 6 make an acoustic simulator for the m13? that will be downloadable...

[LiquidTokyo]

Thanks man. I was trying to find a way to get rid of an external Wah pedal in my FX loop of the M13. I had a theory that this was exactly how I could replace it with the EX-1 expression pedal. My life just got even simpler. In my opinion, Line 6 has built the greatest effects unit ever. It has simplified playing out so much! Thanks again, very informative.

[scorpguitar79]

you are very welcome-glad to help.

[mojoefly]

@scorpguitar79 hey man, does the expression pedal initially control master volume of the entire scene. then you program what the pedal does per patch?

[scorpguitar79]

no, it controls specifically what you set it to. You have to enable- via the menu, what you want controlled with the footswitch.

[mojoefly]

@scorpguitar79 i dont have my m13 yet. so lets say you have 4 delays running (is that possible) can you control what happens to each activated delay simultaneously?

[scorpguitar79]

hesitantly I would say yes you can control the parameters of all 4 delays but let me check and get back to you.

[aljonrocks]

Great walk through! This is why YouTube rocks for guitar gearheads! Thank you sir!

[scorpguitar79]

glad that I could help!

[niteflyre]

Thank you sir! Just got mine today, I was trying to figure that out...

[scorpguitar79]

thank you for checking out my vid

[skicnt33]

Hey thanks for the helpful vid! I have a spider jam amp and I'm thinking of getting a FBV shorboard and one of these expression pedals, do you know if i would be able to set effects like delay and tremolo to the expression pedal if i don't have the M13?

[scorpguitar79]

Im not sure about the spider jam or the fbv shortboard-I would guess that the line 6 expression pedal would work.. sorry that I couldnt be more help on that.

[guttersnipephil]

great video. cant wait to get mine. btw you sound like Tom Hanks.

[scorpguitar79]

Thanks for the nice comment. Thats hilarious! I have never been told that before!

[craigthebigman]

dude, you are like a god for posting all these vids on the m13, thanks man!!!

[scorpguitar79]

wow-thanks for all the nice comments and for subbing me. I always appreciate positive feedback. I have even more m13 vids planned for the future. I think that its the best piece of gear that you can get for effects!

[CalTheSpaceman]

Just Orderedd One Of these Real excited Still need to get an expression pedall... wat rating would u give the pedal? Good vid BTW!

[scorpguitar79]

congrats! youre gonna love the m13. I would say that the cheapo line 6 pedal does exactly what you need it to do. It's just a good thing to have anyways cause you can use it with alot of pedals that have an expression input. Thanks for watching my vid!

[pickles4all]

Great video.

How do you afford all this gear? lol

[scorpguitar79]

my wife and I both make good money and I have a ebay credit card with a decent balance limit!

[MaestrosounD]

I think it's just your cam, but why is you're delay screen blue instead of green?

[scorpguitar79]

its my camera-in person its green
