FX
M13 Stompbox Modeler packs in 80 models of classic and Line 6-original effects, pulled
directly from our world renowned DL4, MM4, FM4, DM4 and Verbzilla stompboxes.
The 4 FX Units can run up to 4 effects at once, total. •
Each FX Unit has 3 memories, which can run any model of any type—switching •
between the memories is like swapping out one stompbox for another.
The FX are organized into 5 types:•
DISTORTION (yellow)• has all the distortion, overdrive and fuzz effects from
DM4—plus several stompbox compressors and a volume pedal
DELAY (green)• has all the delay and echo models from DL4 and Echo Pro
MOD (blue)• has the chorus, phaser, flanger, rotary and other models from
MM4
FILTER (purple)• provides a range of synth, wah and filter effects from FM4
VERB (orange)• has the studio-grade reverbs and vibe-rich Octoverb from
Verbzilla
Looper
A built-in looper runs along with all the effects, providing 28 second mono operation.
The looper can run before or after the FX Units, with footswitch pre/post switching•
Undo lets you discard the last recording pass•
You can run the loop in reverse or at half speed (for 56 seconds loop time) •
Adjustable ODUBLVL reduces the volume of previous overdubs as you layer audio •
Scenes
There are also 12 scenes, each of which is a complete pedalboard, storing all the settings
of the A/B/C memories of the 4 FX Units.
We’ve loaded each scene with an example pedalboard, to get you inspired•
