Bill Walker's Overview of the Line 6 M13 Pedal Part 1

[esdenaze]

man this is so cool

Can I ask you one thing, I hope you can respond. Is it possible to (let's go crazy) act like there are 4 delay pedals and run them all together? Thus I mean sequentially, not underneath each other where you can only select 1 at a time.

[turdferg098]

@esdenaze You can run 4 delays at 1 time. I use mine solely as a reverb/delay pedal, and I've used up to 4 delays at once. It gets crazy, but it's possible haha

[trdi]

Holy crap, you can really bend that little finger at 4:28...

[fman600]

what are your settings at the start of the video?

[theDogger35]

Are you using the 4 cable method of just straight into the front end?

[BillWalkerGuitar]

@theDogger35 strait in

[u2MRtheFLY]

bill you must play a lot of u2? vox amp, multi effects.

[bioken007]

@u2MRtheFLY Don't forget the skull cap

[mattdrive]

May I ask u one thing? If I put three delays one after, don't I rise a hel 4 the second repeats the first and the third repeats the first two?

[BillWalkerGuitar]

@mattdrive ???

[hermanshermits124124]

Those KRK speakers aren't designed to be layed on their side, and don't deliver near their quality this way. I do recommend you put them upright again, and you will hear what I mean. Cheers :)

Hey looks like Tobin Bell!

I love the M13. I demo'd one the other day, I'd have bought it on the spot had I the money. Sounds great with an amp that's just breaking up.

[jl7571677]

can u set it up so that wen u hit one button it turns on a preset sound with many effects and then hit another button which turns on a different preset sound consisting of multiple effects..like lets say you want to go from pink floyd breathe to solo from Time only hitting one button??

[BillWalkerGuitar]

you have twelve scenes that can act as multi sound presets, made up of 4 different effects each arranged in a horizontal row of buttons. but once you select that scene you have more of a modular stomp box kind of flexabilty where you can have three variations on each of the four effects the vertical row of buttons. check out the online manual at Line 6

[hermanshermits124124]

@jl7571677 No, you will have to hit 2 buttons (scene button, and then select the scene)

[BETILYO]

Men! you convince me to buy this one! thanx for this exelent demo!

[TheStereoParadox]

thanks for making this video!

[BillWalkerGuitar]

you must press the scene switch and then one of the 12 buttons to call up a scene

[marc12marc]

Smart Man. I noticed the Vox behind you !

[BillWalkerGuitar]

Thanks, re: Vox, 1964 AC10 twin, it puts out around 18 watts of pure butter

[Freddy5655]

Great demo and explanation. Thanks a lot. Lokking to get one of these maybe and i like your crazy delay licks. Very awesome!

[BillWalkerGuitar]

Thanks, you might want to check out the new M-9 as well, a more compact and more affordable version of the M-13 with the same great library of sounds and looper.

[jontheliar]

also, I have the t.c. electronics g-major.  Now, with the midi in out on the back of the m13, can i use it to scroll up, down, and bypass my rack unit?

[wiggledeewarp]

sorry haven't tried using it as a midi controller for another unit, I'd get on the line 6 forum and ask.

[jontheliar]

. is there a rising synth sound on this? (pretty sure there is) I have a digitech synth wah i use and i need it to work like that, where you just hit the strings and it rises as a sweeping synth ...i hope that made sense. Pretty sure the fm-4 part of it can do this. If you need to hear the sound i can shoot you my bands myspace; its used in one of the songs.

[wiggledeewarp]

The sound you are describing does sound like a slowly opening filter. I'll check and see, but I use the volume swell/ delay to achieve a similar thing, send me your link and I'll let you know.

[mikecoca]

Hi Bill. Are the delays running in parallel? Or is the second delay delaying the first one and then being delayed by the third?

[BillWalkerGuitar]

all effects are in series though some delays will run a parallel dry signal.

[mikecoca]

So if the effect says that it is the "dry thru" version, then if you use one of that and another delay setting, then they are going to be running in parallel?

[BillWalkerGuitar]

not quite sure, if they were both dry thru delays maybe, I'll have to check it out. it doesn't really matter much to me as i like the sound of one delay feeding the other.
