M13 Screamer issue

support@line6.com — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:54:47 GMT

Hello all I've noticed an issue with the Screamer stompbox model on the M13 and I was wondering if anyone else had the same issue. When I play it I can hear two sounds - one distorted and one clean.

When I run a compressor before it the issue is amplified and the clean sound almost drowns out the driven sound.

I noticed a similar issue happening with my Boss SD-1 - do I just have rotten luck with pedals or is this standard?

Never owned a TS808 or TS9 etc but have played on them and never had that issue...Any help?

Here is my setup:

Guitar (Fender Strat)>Line 6 M13 (firmware 2.04) > Fender Deville 4x10.

Not using any effects loops and the M13 is directly in front of the amp guitar to pedal to amp nothing else could interfere.

Yeah I think that might be the case that the M9 has some sort of rectifier bridge. Pity about the M13 but the search for the best power solution continues.

Looks like I'll have to use the original power supply - albeit with a step down transformer - I'm assuming that I'll only need a 20W step down transformer (i.e. 9v x 2A = 18W)?

Thanks for your help Phil, I spent a lot of time reading your replies to others about this issue. However one thing still remains to be checked out, why does the Godlyke powerall PA-9 work with the M9 but not the M13?

Especially when you consider that the M9 is not a 4 button unit but has 7 buttons.

Are the M13 and M9 wired that differently?

M13 Stompbox modeler and Godlyke Powerall PA-9 power supply

I used to own a DL4 that was rated as 9v AC 1200mA minimum with a Godlyke powerall power supply that was 9v DC and 2000mA.
It worked fine, there are even videos of it working on their website.

However I recently sold my DL4 to upgrade to the M13 (I sold a few other bits too to finance it...).

I contacted Godlyke about powering the M13 with the PA-9 and they said as far as they knew it wouldn't harm the unit,

but they could only confirm that that the PA-9 works with the M9 and haven't tested it with the M13.

From what I've researched I can't see any major difference between between powering the DL4, M9 and M13.

They may draw different mA but all run on 9v AC power.

Has anyone had any experience using the Godlyke powerall with the M13? Would it work or am I headed for disaster.

I tend to think that the M9 and M13 can't be that different and it should work.

I'm prepared to use the Px-2 power supply that the M13 comes with if need be, but would prefer to power everything off a single unit if possible.

Had a great experience with the PA-9 and would be a shame to under utilise it.

Discount on POD Farm

Hey I've got a toneport with 3 model packs (all except bass and powerpack) - is there a discount for POD Farm Platinum if you already have the model packs? It seems like a waste to get the model packs and then buy them again through POD Farm platinum.

Re-amping with Gearbox and Toneport UX1

Is it possible to re-amp without POD Farm? I know I can monitor tone direct but is it possible to reamp a signal using gearbox?

Re-amping the dry signal

Hey firstly, just wondering at how good it sounds when the tone is re-amped? Does it sound exactly like the tone direct monitoring? By that I mean does it sound like someone playing through an amp not just a distorted dry signal? I've used amplitube in the past on an album and it sounded terrible when it came to reamping. Just wondering if this is actually better than that?
