M13?? M9?? What Do The Names Mean?
October 5, 2009 — Rowbi
So are you wondering where Rich Renken of Line 6 got the names for the M13 and M9 from? Well here’s the beef:
“So I thought M12. zzzzzzzzzz M13 sounded way tougher so my thought was 12 effects but now, unlike the DL4, you have a dedicated looper.” (Rich Renken, Line 6)
The M13 has 12 effects banks/scenes + the looper…, so that’s 12 + The looper.
“So yes, I wanted to call the M9, M7. 6 effects plus a dedicated looper. Well, the M7 name was already taken and we didn’t want people to be confused. So M9 is just M9″ (Rich Renken, Line 6)
Line 6 Release M9 and New M13 Firmware
October 4, 2009 — Rowbi
I am currently upgrading my M13 to the all new v2.0 firmware, which promices to have lots more FX, including loads of wah’s some cool phasers, pitch shifting and harmony effects, not to mention some parametric EQ’s that will be cool to use.
Line 6 have also released their mini version… The M9. Basically Line 6 is punting them to 2 different markets. Use the M13 as a pedalboard, or the M9 as part of your pedalboard. Obviously this doesn’t quite fit for everyones needs, so I use the M13 as part of my pedalboard, as it has a built in FX loop, which I think is really important with a device that can give you gain stomp FX and mod/delay/verb effects, as a lot of users like to use the 4 cable method. Anyway, that’s me… decide for yourself by clicking the picture above, which will take you to the M13 vs M9 comparison on Line 6’s website.
