hey there - hopefully you figured this out. The 4CM works well, but I still can't understand exactly how :P . The best web site outlining how cables should be setup, IMO, is here: http://guitargearfinder.com/guides/use-four-cable-method/. You can absolutely do what you've described. First off, it sounds like you want the order of the banks reversed (most use 1>2>3>4). There's an option for this in the setup menu. And then you can also insert the FX loop at any point in the M13 signal chain, so after all 4 banks, or after just 1, or 2, or 3. This gives you the option of running delays and modulation, etc., only after overdrive and distortion have been applied, either using other pedals or the front end of your amp. For your last question, I'm not sure you can do this. But everything else is feasible. HTH

I'm not sure I understand your question 100%, but I use the 4 cable method too, also with additional pedals besides my M13, and it works great. The best web page outlining proper setup I've found is here - http://guitargearfinder.com/guides/use-four-cable-method/. The setup should be the same, as well, since you also get to select in the M13 where you want the effects loop placed, either before all of the effects, after bank 1, 2, 3 or 4, or after all. Are you asking if you use the front end of your new amp to generate overdrive how it would work? Sorry, your question isn't totally clear... HTH

HI all - I recently started running stereo to 2 amps from the M13, using the 4 cable method. It sounds fantastic, but the other day I noticed a few modulation effects (if I recall correctly it was a chorus and a flange) when triggered led to a significant decrease in volume output. I've had no other issues with a uniform volume coming out of the M13 (into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and Suhr Hedgehog, FYI) until that day. I don't use any compression, distortion, fuzz or overdrive (none of the "yellow" category) since I use the front end of the amps to generate distortion. I need to check and see if the amps are actually in phase as setup (I've also got a volume and wah pedal in front of the M13, and a digitech jamman looper after the M13) - I think they are but will check later today. But what I'm wondering is if any potential combination of effects that can be generated on the M13, and then run through a stereo setup, can they lead to a phase/polarity issue? (I assume not...) Thanks!
