Pay no attention to the pedal behind the curtain!  The M9 Stompbox Modeler has been unleashed on the world for a few months now and you've posted some interesting videos showcasing how to put this gizmo to use.

 

 

 

 

M9 Tutorial: studio1087 does a great job of explaining some of the subtle operation steps that make the M9 as easy to use as a typical stompbox.

 

 

 

 

 

Particle Verb. Ambient Guitar Heaven: badbrad demonstrates the sonic bliss encompassed in the particle verb effect.

 

 

 

 

 

Ambient Looping Demo: Walking in the footsteps of Brian Eno himself, mynameizbrian conjures up ambient soundscapes...and he apparently had just pulled it out of the box.

Busy New York guitarist Teddy Kumpel has a lot of tone tricks up his sleeves. He shares a few favorites from his M13 Stompbox Modeler.


By Teddy Kumpel


M13 Stompbox Modeler is a device that can be used so many different ways I can't imagine a player who it wouldn't suit.

I use it as a freak-out sound design box when I play with my trio. I do a lot of live looping and M13 gives me the variety of sounds I need to create myriad textures quickly.


I have one scene programmed for effects I use individually. Effects like Reverse Delay with an expression pedal controlling the mix. It's not only great for that super-trippy backwards lead guitar sound, it also works great just for a little moment in a rhythm part where you want to hear something backwards. Just set the delay time to whole-notes and enjoy...


Really hard and intense Opto Trem with the pedal controlling speed is a fun trick. I'll play a chord with the speed as fast as it will go and slowly use the pedal to slow it down, like skimming a stone across water.


Tape Echo with the pedal controlling delay time and feedback level is awesome for dub delays. Just turn them on while you're skanking for a second at the end of a phrase, move the pedal around and you're in Jamaica in 1970. The synth sounds are raw, freaky, retro, and really exactly what I would want in a guitar synth, without the hassle of having a whole cumbersome guitar synth setup.


To be continued…

Guitarist Saul Zonana has played with everybody from Adrian Belew to Kings X. Most recently he has been racking up his production credits, and touring in support of his latest CD, Blue Monkey.


Just off the road and back in the studio, I’m working on an album that has so much room for ambient guitar tones that Line 6 will definitely be a part of it.

 

I normally turn to my POD® X3 Pro to get a lush, stereo guitar tone. However, a few days ago the new Line 6 M9 Stompbox Modeler arrived at my studio door. I played with it a bit and was instantly in love with it.

 

Out of the box, it is loaded with really great effect combinations, (or “scenes” as they call them). The fact that it’s also a powerful looper puts it over the top for me.

 

Beyond that, it’s a true stereo unit with two expression inputs so tones can be manipulated while playing. It’s my new favorite Line 6 product.

 

Oh yeah, and it’s small in size so no big pedal board needed. LOVE THIS THING!!
