Everything is written below, I add that just downloading the software offers many possibilities, some 25 additional simulations, 5 or 6 equalizers and especially a tube comp ing I now find it difficult to do without.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple but it is always the same story: when you find yourself suddenly with 100 different pedals, o do not really know where to turn ... for me it's an advantage.
The sound editing is done like a pedal, it has 5 buttons, fiddling with it and go. In addition, the M13 offers the possibility to keep the last setting, however, can keep a final adjustment (go to "setup"),.
The manual is clear, but it is highly recommended that you download the "manual bis" would be a sort of manual for advanced users.
I have not yet connected expression pedal, it will be soon, the possibilities, already huge, would still make money.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very effective, if only one looks at the machine. For my part, it takes me a few hours of delirium, given the potential for chaining, the same multiplier effect possible.
Tonight, I begin to find that his "wet" to Gilmour, and also what to do with layers of synths.
My favorite effect is the pipe comp, the Vetta Juice, the boost comp ... compressors, well settled, are a real treat. The distos ... a penchant for fuzz, very well simulated. The delays ... everyone talked about I think. Opto reverb, mix thoroughly, the delay to a minimum ... and there is a soundtrack of terror!
In short, it has everything: the natural sound of the guitar slightly compressed in the most extreme stuff.

I use it with Brian May and Italia, I set scenes for each. The FX 1 and 2 are upstream of the amp, 3 and 4 in the fxloop my Fender Jazz King. With these two devices, I finally found the ultimate solution ... Finally, until further notice ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month or so and it has proven itself in rehearsal and concert ... something bothers you, a new small setting and go. Concern over "store" or whatever. I also have a Digitech GNX3000 I ascribe to the other guitarist, a young genius of 18 years who has not a circle. But beware, I am as far from spitting on the GNX is an excellent multi-effects which sorely lacks a true bypass.

That's exactly what I wanted: no amp simulation, a wide range, no control head wiring, easy adjustments, and above all, a true bypass. More Line6 has had the good sense to classify by color effects. Yellow for distortion, comp and equa; for modulating blue and green for the delay (and what delays ...!), pink and orange for the synth for reverb. Just do not be colorblind. On the switches, a small light in the color given low if the pedal is not engaged, if she is strong ... when we sing, we made the rhythm and to monitor if the bassist is not party to take a beer, it's really convenient ...

Value for money: 100 € for 420 pedals, the calculation is done quickly ... I take the foot with this machine fills far the hole in my budget.
